C# Sendkeys class {SHIFT}

Question

I am trying to use the Sendkeys class to send a SHIFT key. But it doesn't allow for SHIFT. Only BACKSPACE or ENTER or basically anything but SHIFT. I need a way to send shift keys, like, Sendkeys.Send({SHIFT});

Is there a way to do this? Is there another way to send SHIFTs?

I mean shift by itself @GrantWinney – Jfopa Feb 04 '15 at 03:22 — Jfopa, Feb 04 '15 at 03:22

%() sends just the Alt command. So I assume that +() will send just the shift key. However I cannot think of a way to test this, since the shift key does nothing by itself. pressing shift 5 times normally prompts if you want to turn on sticky keys, but +()+()+()+()+() does not prompt for sticky keys.

Read the senction just after it explains how to send F1 to F12: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg278655.aspx

%A = Alt+A
%(AE) = Alt+A+E
%()AE = ALT,A,E
