&quot;and keep it down until released by another SendKeys call?&quot;<br />
<br />
No. &nbsp;With SendKeys there isn't any way to KEEP it down until you specify it be released.<br />
<br />
To do that you would need to use Win APIs...<br />

No.  With SendKeys there isn't any way to KEEP it down until you specify it be released.

Thanks your comments, I understand sendkeys is dubious coding practice. <br />
Can you suggest another method of ensuring an access database does not launch its opening code when opened by OPENDATABASE method?

The code will need tweeking to get a shiftdown experience but it is easy enough to do.

Hi, <br />
<br />
Is there a VB.NET parameter for the SendKeys.SendWait function which will press the shift key down and keep it down until released by another SendKeys call? <br />
<br />
I cannot seem to find the .NET way of sending {SHIFTDOWN} or {SHIFTUP}.<br />
<br />
TIA.<br />
Wee.

Is there a SHIFTDOWN in VB.NET for the SendKeys.SendWait method ?

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
