[VBScript] send Numblock Key as Keystroke


Question

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)

Edit:

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

    • More Microsoft Account headaches: Office 2024 licensing bug finally gets detailed fix by Sayan Sen Microsoft often highlights the benefits of a Microsoft account (MSA) as it points out the unified access users get across devices and services like Windows, Office, OneDrive, and Xbox, which can help in synchronization of files and settings for convenience. That is also why it is a mandatory requirement during Windows 11 installs. However, there can be major problems too. For example, earlier this month, we reported on an incident wherein a Windows user was locked out of their Microsoft Account when Windows flagged their OneDrive upload activities, and apparently there was no way to recover their account. We discussed how, in such a case, users can lose all their data, especially if it's BitLocker encrypted, which is not all that unlikely on Windows 11 24H2. You can read the story in full in this article here. Meanwhile, on the topic of MSA, Microsoft has finally released a detailed step-by-step guide for fixing the Office 2024 licensing bug. The tech giant had already published an update earlier back in December last year. While that was supposed to fix the issue, the problem likely persisted for many users. For those who need a refresher, users whose Microsoft accounts held licenses for both Office 2024 and earlier editions like Office 2021. After upgrading to Office 2024, the MSA continued to display the older version. At the time, Microsoft only stated that installing the latest version of the Office 2024 app would fix the issue. This week, though, a detailed guide has been shared. The company writes: You can find the support article here on Microsoft's official website.
    • Hey Neowin folks, I’m struggling with my Samsung QLED Q80C smart TV’s Wi-Fi dropping randomly. It connects to my 5GHz network but loses signal every 20–30 minutes, interrupting streaming. Details: Device: Samsung QLED Q80C (2023 model), Tizen OS, firmware updated to latest (May 2025). Network: TP-Link Archer AX73 router, Wi-Fi 6, 5GHz band, WPA3 security. Environment: TV ~10 feet from router, no major interference (tested without microwave or cordless phones). Setup: Streaming Netflix, YouTube via built-in apps; issue persists across apps. Steps Tried: Restarted TV, router, and modem. Switched to 2.4GHz band—same issue, slower speed. Assigned static IP to TV in router settings. Reset TV network settings and reconnected. Checked router logs; no disconnect errors logged. Searched Neowin; found a 2024 thread on Wi-Fi issues but no TV-specific fixes. Expected: Stable Wi-Fi connection for uninterrupted streaming. Actual: Wi-Fi drops every 20–30 minutes, requiring manual reconnect. Has anyone faced Wi-Fi dropouts on Samsung QLED TVs or Tizen OS? Could it be a firmware bug or router setting? Any debug tips or workarounds? Thanks for any ideas!
    • I can see why you would need an AI browser
    • if you get your MSA locked and can't recover it, and if you are on win 11 24H2 that can do automatic encryption (on Home editions too), then the BitLocker key goes with that account.
