>>>I have a project where I need to automate Internet Explorer to read data from a website. The data must be read from a page which is a popup page activated by clicking some text on the main URL. But since many users have disabled popups, I need to programmatically press the shift key before I programmatically press the text. Something like

>>>lox=Createobject('internetexplorer.application')
>>>lox.Navigate('http://www.someurl.com/somepage')
>>>if navcomplete(lox,lntime)
>>>   ** Press shift key
>>>   lox.document.all.Main.contentWindow.document.all.minf0.click()
>>>Endif

>>>Can someone help me with code to simulate that the shift key is pressed?

>Actually I got it working by using the keybd_event API, but thank you anyway. Here's the code, in case other face a similar problem:

>#DEFINE VKK_SHIFT                                               0x0010  && SHIFT KEY?
>#DEFINE VKK_CONTROL                                     0x0011  && CONTROL KEY?
>#DEFINE VKK_MENU                                                0x0012  && ALT KEY?
>#DEFINE VKK_START                                                0x005B  && START KEY? (Win Key)
>#DEFINE KEYEVENTF_KEYUP                         0x0002  && KEY UP
>DECLARE keybd_event IN WIN32API ;
>  INTEGER uVK, INTEGER uHardK, ;
>  INTEGER dwdata, INTEGER dwextra
>keybd_event(VKK_SHIFT,0, 0, 0)
>lox.document.all.Main.contentWindow.document.all.minf0.click()

I wish I read this before I posting :o)
