What is the key name for {Alt} in the SendKey command?

[crrrazydan]

I want to use the SendKeys command, which I already know how to use, to send the Alt key. Kind of like SendKeys "{Tab}", only with the Alt keys. The problem is that there's two Alt keys. I tried "{AltLeft}" and stuff like that but it doesn't seem to work.

 

[Alt255]

VB help says the "%" character stands for the ALT key. Maybe it doesn't seem to be working for you because your current form has focus. Try placing a list of menu items (with submenus) on the form and then do a Sendkeys "%F". Assuming you have a &File menu item, its submenus will be exposed.

There's a lot of interesting information in the MSDN documentation you purchased with VB.
