[VBScript] send Numblock Key as Keystroke

[eversor]

As the fellows at the FloatMobileAgent Forum are quite - well - not helping.

I don't find a way to send the Numbers on the Keypad. Even on the msdn page i don't find it.

Shell.SendKeys ""{UP}""

Something like that, only that i want to send Ctrl + Alt + Keypad 6 (for example)

Edited some obscurities pixels pointed out.

Do you mean the keypad numbers? Or the actual NumLock key?

If you mean the keypad numbers, I must ask why you need to use those rather than the ones above the keyboard.

My point is that instead of looking at the actual key on the keyboard that you want pressed, you need to look at it as the actual string you want sent.

Yeah my bad. Of course I mean the keypad numbers. And i want to use these, cause with the normal keys the keystroke has no effect.

To explain more. I want to remotely control musikCube with my SE T610 using FMA. It supports a global hotkey feature meaning that you can control it with some keystrokes regardless where you are in windows. These Keystrokes are.

The functions are as follows:

Ctrl + Alt + Keypad 5 : Pause and Resume

Ctrl + Alt + Keypad 0 : Stop

Ctrl + Alt + Keypad 4 : Previous Track

Ctrl + Alt + Keypad 6 : Next Track

Ctrl + Alt + Keypad 8 : Volume Up

Ctrl + Alt + Keypad 2 : Volume Down

Ctrl + Alt + Keypad 7 : Previous Artist

Ctrl + Alt + Keypad 9 : Next Artist

Ctrl + Alt + Keypad 1 : Previous Album from Current Artist

Ctrl + Alt + Keypad 3 : Next Album from Current Artist

Ah, I see. One of those rare situations ;)

Alright, I'll look into it and get back to you.

Found an interesting text (rather old though) about WSH, down at the bottom it says

Another problem with WSH is that it cannot emulate the numeric keypad keys.

AHA! Check this Google Groups post out and let me know if it's what you're looking for.

Unfortunately not.

I know how to send the Plus, Minus, Multiply and Divide and even the NumLock but nowhere it is documented on how to send the actual numbers.

[gigapixels Veteran]

Just checked and it has the strings {NUMPAD0} - {NUMPAD9}.

Did you download AutoIt? Full documentation is in there.

I think that's what you're looking for (Y)

was just looking through the documentation and was about to post my "Hooray and big thanks speech".

So....

Hooray!

I want to thank you ... ehm .... for all the fish or something.

Thanks

Not so much of a big speech but you get it :)

Finally i can control my music from my bed, my Reading Area with my good ol' SE T610 via Bluetooth.
