Simulate Ctrl key at keyDown event of textBox in Silverlight

Question

I m using richTextbox in my application & inside chrome, richtextbox isnt capturing SPACE key

I found it is a bug, but i dont want to use third party hotfixes for it.

richTextbox can recognize Ctrl + Space & Shift + Space key So I've decided to simulate Ctrl key at keydown event of richTextbox

But I don't know how to simulate it without SendKeys ? I've gone through UI automation but m not finding the keyboard simulation.

Any help ?

Answer 1

It was javascript hotkey overriding Space key in silverlight. I m using javascript for hotkeys in my application & space is bound to some function. whenever im pressing space (when silverlight textbox has focus ), javascript is executing that function, so i removed key from javascript.

Now it is working fine in chrome.

Because of this link i thought its a bug

I apologize for blaming silverlight & visual studio & expression blend, it was javascript.
