    Re: Need Send keys code for "Windows + UP"

    This is an Excel forum. Are you not working in Excel? If not, then why are you posting in this forum. The solution works for me when Excel is open and the window needs to be expanded to a full screen.

    What do hope to achieve? Tell us i simple English so that we can assist you. Your explanation is lacking clarity.

    I am creating an excel macro to open Putty - an external application to connect with linux server. I have created macro to open putty and using send keys to interact with it. Now i want to maximize it. Usually Putty opens as small window. To maximize Alt + Space + X does not work with Putty. Instead Windows + UP maximizes the Putty Window, tried manually.

    Now i want syntax to use - send keysWindows + UP.

    Since it is an excel forum i did not give the details about Putty and i asked for generic Syntax of "Windows + UP" key combinations for Send Keys.

    Is this fine now Alansidman?

    Thanks,
    Balaji N

    I don't believe that is possible within VBA. Look at this link for further explanation.

    and maybe this will help

    My apologies, but that is out of my wheel house. I have provided you with all the information I have on the subject. I am not familiar with Putty. I will ask others to chime in and perhaps there is some one here who can assist.

    BTW: What is wrong with the manual Windows + Up manually?
