Paul G. Tobey's solution seems to be the good one for me. I am writing a
fullscreen application where I need to be able to open the start menu through
a button.
I was simply indicating what you needed to send, not a specific string for
SendKeys (which I've never used). In fact, it looks like something along
the lines of "^{ESC}", which is still pretty user-friendly, is the answer.
Nothing you shouldn't have been able to figure out yourself.
Quite possibly nothing. I tried using SendKeys a couple weeks ago and found
all sorts of problems with it so I ended up doing a whole lot of fixes.
THose fixes are in our code base but not in anything currently published.
Take a look at this bug report:
