How to Piggyback a Keypress?

Is there a easy way to resend the KeyPress to the window after
capturing a hotkey?

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
base.WndProc(ref m);
if(m.Msg == WM_HOTKEY) {
if(m.WParam == myHotkeyID) /* Do What I Want to
Do */
Resend the Key Pressed to the application without
triggering the hotkey message again.
}
}
}

it works if I use the C# "SendKeys.Send(...)", and mimics the "ctrl/
shift/alt modifiers" nicely, but the hotkeys are defined by the user,
and converting the "Keys.___" to a string manually is hard at times...
"IE Keys.OemTilda.ToString()" != "`"

Is using PostMessage the easiest? Getting the SYSKEYDOWN, KEYDOWN,
lParam Mimic etc all perfect would take a tiny bit..

Would there be a trick with the DefWndProc/DefWindowProc I could use?
