The setup: Windows XP guest OS running inside Parallels 5 on a OS X 10.6.2 host.
I have a win32 application that runs in windows that communicates with other programs by sending out keystrokes to the program in focus. I can run this software inside parallels just fine, but I need a way for it to communicate (via keystrokes) with native OS X applications. For instance, the windows software sends out a continuous stream of a's and w's, based on the program input from an external source. On the other side, I have a Mac version of VLC media player with hotkeys set up for a and w for the two functions I would like to manipulate from the windows software.
How can I set up a link between the guest and host OS's with Parallels that lets a windows program send keystrokes to a mac program?
