select already running application and press a key using VBA

[dumbledown]

Hi,
I have a problem that may not be possible.

I am running an excel program - I would like to call a function that selects an already running program (VLC media player in this case), then presses a specific key (x in this case), and then returns to excel.

Is this at all possible?
It would be great
Thanks
