OK, I know @ctrl(@esc()) is almost equal to the Windows key.

Is there any way to send the actual Windows Key with another character?

LOADLIB user32.dll
%%knockout = @lib(user32,keybd_event,INT:,91,0,0,0)
%%knockout = @lib(user32,keybd_event,INT:,67,0,0,0)
%%knockout = @lib(user32,keybd_event,INT:,91,0,2,0)
%%knockout = @lib(user32,keybd_event,INT:,67,0,2,0)
FREELIB user32.dll

So what does this do? I think I missed something... Smile

My solution post sends the WinKey+C (67)

Which in Windows 8 activates the Charms bar.

WinKey+I (77) activates the settings window.

Ah, I see. Tried on my win 7 box and it did nothing. Does this just work on Win 8?

Nah, not just Windows 8 (Although WinKey+C does nothing in 7).

Try using 77 (which is 'M', not I) and it will minimize all windows in Windows 7

Ok. I just tried it and it just opened the start menu, didn't minimize the windows. I didn't try it compiled, though not sure if that would make any difference.

Odd. What are your keyboard language settings?

LiquidCode · Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2012 3:02 pm Post subject:

American english

What about repeat rate settings? Is your keyboard set to no repeat or anything? (baffled!)

Nooooooooooooooppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeee. Smile

On a side note, do you know of a way to make a RTF edit on VDS, not using VDSObj.dll (no dll would be nice)? I have had some people have issues with it and I would like to be able to save RTF files (and paste to the control).

My memory may fail me on this one but I thought I remember someone adding an RTF via API's, might have been PK, Tommy, Mac or Dragonsphere.

Yes, I think it was Codescript. He made a Richedit.dsu but it has since been removed.

cnodnarb · Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2012 4:34 pm Post subject:

Looks possible through CreateWindow (user32.dll). Not something I really want to get into though Wink

I've posted some (buggy) code titled richedit, that with refining works with the WebBrowser control. I successfully made WebWrite Lite 2011 with the code, but it saves as HTML.

LiquidCode · Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2012 12:30 am Post subject:

Ok. Yes, I am using that now, but wanted to know if a "real" richedit could be made. Thanks for looking into though. Smile

Good job on the HTML richedit, works great!
