Setting ALT on keyboard via Code

[scamp]

I am trying to find a way to "force" the ALT setting (numbers only) on the keyboard for my app via code.

Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, how do I do it?

Thanks!!

I found this code last week, try it and let me know if it works for you. (the code is used to send a specific key to the application that has control):

SendKeys.Send (chr(&###)) where ### is the number that represents the key you want to send. The number for the ALT key is 262144.

This would only work specifically for the Moto-Q phone, correct? I don't think it would work for any other phone (since the code number would probably be different).

We have software running on the Q and on a Pocket PC that recognizes the codes so I say give it a shot.

We got the code numbers from this link:

I can't seem to get the sendkeys function to work. Can you shoot me some source code that makes use of it?

Thanks
