Does DNS 9.5 pro work with MS 'StickyKeys'
Submitted by gavPWD on Sun, 08/24/2008 - 16:13.
Hi all
I've activated MS sticky keys. I want to use DNS to hold 'ctrl', 'shift' and 'N'. I know how to press these keys but not to hold them. Sticky keys should allow for users to press the above keys one at a time and windows will consider them to be held. I have sticky keys working in a couple of apps, but finding it tricky to get them to activate using the 'press key [key name]' command
any ideas dudes?

It can be done with Advanced Scripting
But it's not easy. I doubt MS Sticky Keys will work, but I've never tried.
Here's one thread about holding keys down with Advanced Scripting:

I'm sure you can find others using any search engine.

Just to add to Matt's sage advice, DNS doesn't work with MS sticky keys. Unfortunately, MS sticky keys are not linked to either SAPI or active accessibility. The only way that DNS can access these is that there is a means via SAPI or active accessibility to do so. Since this is not possible with this function, the only way to hold down a control key is to use advanced scripting.
In reviewing Matt's references, there are a couple of other ways that you can do this through advanced scripting. If you would like to see the scripts that I use, I would be glad to share them with you. However, you have to be using one of the Professional series versions in order to take advantage of these. Otherwise, just let me know and I'll give you an e-mail address where you can send the request.

nice one
thanks gents, sounds promising.
I'm using adobe photoshop and I created a macro to press Ctrl + Shift + n which works well.
Thankfully I have a software development degree and will give the advanced scripting a go.Chuck, I have the pro version.
Thanks guys
