title: Emulate copy-paste from Keyboard wedge application in VB.net
body: <p>We have an application (written in VB 2005) that reads incoming characters on a virtual serial port (on which a Cognex barcode scanner is connected), validate the stream and send it to the focused object using the <code>SendKeys</code>command.</p>
  
  <p>It has worked perfectly for years, but now customers have new software and the <code>SendKeys</code> no longer works for a specific field in this software (it works everywhere else but this field). They did some tests and found out that, when they copy-paste text, it works using ctrl-c, ctrl-v.</p>
  
  <p>My question is: how can I emulate those keystroke from our application?</p>
