developing/testing touchscreen pos system, no print screen key available on screen nor keyboard.


In XP, without a program change, is there any way to perform a function such as alt-printscreen where it copies to the clipboard??

thx in advance.

 
In Win XP I think Control PrtScn will copy the page to the clipboard the open Word or Wordpad and paste.
 
Can you install/use XP's Accessibility options to get xp's on screen keyboard? This seems to work.
 
Seems to me you just need to know what the ascii code for that key is. Then just send those special characters. Like <ctrl>145 or whatever it is.
