Befuddled about SendKey

[Christy Davids]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to use System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send({UP})
to programmatically send an up arrow keystroke to my
application. According to the .NET Framework class
library documentation, this is the correct syntax (i.e.
using UP inside braces to indicate the up arrow key), but
when I do so I get an "expression expected" compiler error.

What am I missing here?

TIA!
Christy

Put it in quotes.
e.g.
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("{UP}")

SendKeys.Send requires a string as the parameter. Enclose {UP} in
quotations to make it a string.

Thanks guys.

I swear I'd tried that, as well as declaring a string,
assigning it a value of "{UP}" and passing it to
SendKeys.Send... but I must have had a typo or something
because I couldn't get it to work. Anyway, works fine now.
