To specify keys combined with any combination of the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys, precede the key code with one or more
of the following codes.

Key Code
SHIFT +
CTRL ^
ALT %

MSDN Doc.

SendKeys cannot distinguish Left and Right shift, hence, you can use PostMessage() as a work around.

(NOTE: This will only work in Windows NT)

Code:

---

Private Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32" Alias "PostMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Private Const WM_KEYDOWN = &H100
Private Const WM_KEYUP = &H101
Private Const VK_RSHIFT = &HA1
Private Const WM_CHAR = &H102

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    PostMessage Text1.hwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_RSHIFT, 0
    PostMessage Text1.hwnd, WM_CHAR, VK_RSHIFT, 0
    PostMessage Text1.hwnd, WM_KEYUP, VK_RSHIFT, 0
End Sub

hitcgar, that's not quite what he wants to do. He wants to click the right shift.

Try this:

Code:

---

Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" _
Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As _
Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long

Public Const WM_KEYDOWN = &H100
Public Const WM_KEYUP = &H101
Private Const VK_RSHIFT = &HA1

Private Sub Command1_Click()
dwnrshift% = SendMessage(hwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_RSHIFT, 0)
dwnrshift% = SendMessage(hwn, WM_KEYUP, VK_RSHIFT, 0)
End Sub

---

(Fix the &H100 to make it work correctly)

Matthew: SendMessage will not work because it does not return directly. Use PostMessage instead.

Oh.

By the way, the reason I posted that was because I hit post reply, and went to look for an answer, and it took me about 20 minutes to find it and I saw that you posted. But thanks again for another tip Megatron :).
