How is it possible to simulate the keyboard entries (and the mouse events) of
one program, from another program. The first program is not written for this
purpose and is a not aware of the simulation.
 
I believe you will need to look to the win32 api to hook into events.

Did you try the SendKeys class? If not, P/Invoking SendInput (Windows API)
should do the job. Maybe you can find a managed wrapper on the net.
