I want to send the key combination ctrl-shift-break to the computer. However, this seems to only work on my Dell laptop (win 2k). It doesn't seems to work on any of the desktops I work on (winxp, 2k). It seems to send that scroll lock instead of the break key. Is there a program that can send that combination to the computer?

The keyboard/computer detects the combination.
You will have to experiment or research to find the appropriate key codes

I'm a bit confused on what you're trying to say. I have a program that needs the ctrl-shift-break key combination in order to execute a function. It works when I press ctrl-shift-break on my laptop. However, when I press the same combination on at a desktop keyboard it doesn't work. Both are running on the same operating system, Win2k.

Bump^

Is there a program that will capture what keystrokes are being sent to the computer? And rebroadcast them again?

I want to capture the keys my laptop sends and resend them on my desktop.

Write a little proggy to capture the keystrokes and print it to the screen in hex.

I was hoping for an EASIER way.. :eek:

Capturing the keys is probably not hard. Sending it back to a specific program, that I have no clue. Anyways, that's a last resort..
