high contrast mode


Recommended Posts

I don't know if you guys have heard of high contrast mode, but I wanted to make a script for it. However, i can't seem to get it to work using send.

here's what I tried:

Send("{LALT DOWN}{LSHIFT DOWN}{PRINTSCREEN}{LALT UP}{LSHIFT UP}")

Send("!+{PRINTSCREEN}")

any ideas?

I don't see from Microsoft's reference for XP: High Contrast that the Shift+Alt+PrtScr key sequence has anything to do with it. What did you expect it to do?

:P

Edit: Doh! :shocked:

Found a reference specific to Windows 2000 for High Contrast with that key sequence. I does nothing on my XP box, though. This XP reference (KB301583) says it should... but it don't!

Accessibility keyboard shortcuts

Right SHIFT for eight seconds (Switch FilterKeys either on or off)

Left ALT+left SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN (Switch High Contrast either on or off)

Left ALT+left SHIFT+NUM LOCK (Switch the MouseKeys either on or off)

SHIFT five times (Switch the StickyKeys either on or off)

NUM LOCK for five seconds (Switch the ToggleKeys either on or off)

Windows Logo +U (Open Utility Manager)

What do you have for a registry value at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\HighContrast\Flags?

Well.. I just learned that Alt+Left Arrow means Back to IE... If you just want to have that box popup, you could run the program without windows Run("sethc 251")

Edit: If you do it this way the computer won't screech at you :shocked:
