Simulate a Pause Keypress

[zarney]

Hi,

Is there a way that I can 'press' the pause key in VBS?

Thank you!

Have you tried the SendKeys method of the WshShell object ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thank you PHV. Isn't that basically the same as the VB Sendkeys method? I am not sure how to use that to send a 'pause' - seems I can send anything but! It's an elusive key to me !

I checked the online version of MSDN and it looks very much like my local version for VB6. The VB.NET MSDN is spitting out a ton of results but none seem applicable to the pause key.

Perhaps the {Break} ?
