[VB.NET - HELP] Sending Numpad Key

[Lirbo]

Hey everybody!

 

I faced some issues when I tried to send a numpad key.

SendKeys.Send({Numpad0}) doesn't work.

I also tried to change it to NumPad and NUMPAD, even to Num.

but nothing seems to work properly, how can I do that?

The parameter is a string. String literals in VB.NET are delimited by double-quotes, as in the Hello World example:

Console.WriteLine("Hello World!")

Therefore your code should be:

SendKeys.Send("{Numpad0}") 

By the way, your code didn't just "not work", it didn't "compile" and if you were working in Visual Studio, you had errors telling you something useful about why. Make sure to include this information in any question you ask about why your code "doesn't work".

I don't think SendKeys sends numeric keypad presses. I think it only supports the operation and enter keys.
