Hi,

I want to know how to send keys like ALT, Shift, Ctrl, Entre, etc. with the My.Computer.SendKeys() function.

Also, I need a code with which i can send 2 keys together like Ctrl+C

If its not possible with SendKeys(), please suggest some other function to acheive this.

Thank you...

Ctrl, Alt, Shift are not 'keys', they are modifiers to keys. C is a key, value is 67. Ctrl-C is also a key, value 3.

Look on Google for information about Sendkeys

on any event :

SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}") 'for enter
SendKeys.Send("{%}") 'for Alt
SendKeys.Send("{^}") 'for Ctrl
SendKeys.Send("{+}") 'for shift
' Combination
SendKeys.Send("^(c)") 'for Ctrl-C


More information, go to msdn online
