Send key for ctrl 5

[ptw78]

I can't seem to figure out the sendkey for ctrl 5. I've tried the following and none work.
Sess0.Screen.SendKeys ("{^5}")
Sess0.Screen.SendKeys ("(^5)")
Sess0.Screen.SendKeys ("^5")

anyone able to post how to use the ctrl then 5 key? thx

what's interesting in excel, i was able to code Control C to copy but was not able to evoke Control V to paste...rather odd

Have you tried

SendKeys "<Ctrl+5>

I'll give that a try in the morning. thx

SendKeys "<Ctrl+5>" doesn't work, looks like it's just one of those things that requires a lot of digging around

Have you looked at your keyboard map to see what command is mapped to Ctrl+5? It should give you the literal command for what your attempting to simulate.

For example to turn my page the "<Transmit>" call does the trick, although it is mapped to several key combinations on my Key Mapping.

try Sess0.Screen.SendKeys("<Transmit>")

Options>Settings>Keyboard Maps>clickie clickie selected>hold control and click on the 5 of the onscreen keyboard.

once again, this all goes back to the keyboard mapping i described in my previous posts which cited attachmate reference articles. Please send me an update ptw78 and let me know how this is going for you. maybe you can let someone from the forum remote in and view your screen to walk you through keyboard mapping

ptw78, I don't know if you resolved this yet. If you haven't, what is your keyboard Ctrl 5 actually mapped to under Options | Settings | Keyboard? Under a default mainframe keyboard it just selects the entire screen. Is this the action you want? It could have been changed to a different value and that is what you need to send to the host.
