Has anyone had to send a CTRL key combination to a comm port?  I need to send
CTRL-Z and can't for the life of me see how to do it.  I have spotted the
constants (VK_CONTROL) and tried using Chr$(VK_CONTROL)+"Z" but to no effect.

I have a horrible feeling this is going to be embarrassingly easy,once you know
it that is!

Any help appreciated

Regards
Paul

I suspect (just guessing) that you really don't need the control key itself,
just the correct ascii code for the combination. If so:

Ctrl-Z is Chr$(26)

I used the following line of code in the KeyPress event to find out:

Debug.Print KeyAscii

Have a look at the SendKeys Statement in the help file
you can send Contol with your key with that statement.

Unless your looking at sending PC scan codes for some reason, you
should be able to just send a Chr$(26) which is the value of a CNTL-Z.
