Hi Jim,
I'm pretty sure I missed that one, which goes to prove what I've just posted to
Jackie:)
Many thanks - I'll give it a try.
Best wishes.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Faking the applications key
Have you tried posting WM_CONTEXTMENU to your window(s)?
const WM_CONTEXTMENU = 0x007B
;Given that HWND = your desired control...
postMessage(hwnd, WM_CONTEXTMENU, hwnd, -1)
The WParam is The handle of the window receiving the message (or a child); the
LParam is a long of cursor coordinates, with X in the low word and Y in the
high word. If WM_CONTEXTMENU is generated by key press, LParam is -1.

Hi,
I frequently run Jaws on a MacBook Pro, which has no applications key.
I can obviously get around this problem by plugging in an external
keyboard, but it keeps occurring to me that there must be a way of
faking the scan code. I have a couple of applications that have
functionality bound to the applications key that isn't supported when
shift+F10 is used, so this isn't just an academic enquiry.
Has anybody ever had any success doing this? I've tried the obvious
TypeKey and {ApplicationsKey} approaches within a script and I'm
pretty sure I've tried SendMessage and PostMessage approaches, so I've
either goofed or I'm missing the trick of it.
Any and all ideas gratefully received.
Best wishes.
