martin Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 I can't see how to simulate the Windows Key. If I type (on the keyboard) Ctrl Esc it works, but ControlSend( '^{ESC}' ) doesn't. What should I be doing?

PsaltyDS Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 ControlSend() requires a control ID. You can default the Win title and text with "", but the default ControlID (last used) is -1. So that would be: ControlSend($SomeWindow,'',-1,"^{ESC}") That will still not pop the Windows Key menu, of course, since you are sending that key combo to a particular control, vice the desktop.
