send keys

[Shane]

Hi all :-)
I have created a simple form with buttons, the form does as I wish, clicking
on the buttons with the mouse produces the desired result. I have decided
that to make it really clever I should tie key presses to the form
(somehow) so that if I press a '2' key ,then I'd like a button to act as
though it has been clicked, and the normal course of events should flow
from there.

Ive had a look on google, I got the following link, which *sounds* to me
what I want, but I dont know how to implement it into my form.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.sendkeys.send.aspx
What I tried was copying and pasting what I thought was the constructor into
my code

public static void Send (
string keys
)

and then pasted the following line into my private button2_click() event
SendKeys.Send("2");

But I got an error about Send not being a function (etc)
So Im guessing Ive not done something right

Any help appreciated

TIA
