Install Guest Additions in the Guest, then check the manual for guestcontrol. Since 3.2.0, you can execute commands from the Host on the Guest and even send key strokes. It's a new feature that I haven't looked into much, so the feature name could be different.

Hello,

I search some way to programmaticaly send Keyboard/Mouse input from host os to VB

What about:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage controlvm <uuid>|<name> keyboardputscancode <hex> [<hex> ...]

I also have additional shell code (for Unix hosts) to help with the translation of characters or strings in scancodes.
See http://www.projet-hev.org/dist/generateur1-1.02.tar.bz2 for an example
and http://www.projet-hev.org/dist/hev1.flv to see it in action.

Best regards,

Hubert
