Can you use sendkeys with application visible = false?
Application.Visible = false
Application.SendKeys ("test")
No, you can't.
It is like hitting the keyboard. The keys will go to the window that has focus. If the window is invisible it cannot have the focus, therefore cannot receive the keys.

I'm trying to restore a minimize active window app after using AppActivate by using SendKeys, however the option did popup but it didn't click the "Restore".
I believe this can be done by using Windows API, but to be honest, I don't know anything about that, so hopefully someone can help this problem so that I can use in VBA.
Below code is the example, New Folder currently minimize and I want to Restore(Open) and then screenshot.
Thanks!
AppActivate ("New Folder"), True
Application.SendKeys "(% )(R)"
Application.SendKeys "(%{1068})"
I have a large user form in VBA, Already I have a "print" option on the form which prints half of the form.
Please let me know how I can print landscape and the whole form in 2 pages.
Thanks
The Userform PrintForm method doesn't offer any options. Worksheet's on the other hand provide a myriad of options.
I would use AltPrintScreen to copy the Userform's image to the Windows ClipBoard and then paste it to a worksheet as an image.
Private Sub btnCopyUserformBitMap_Click()
Application.SendKeys "(%{1068})"
DoEvents
Application.Wait Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
Worksheets("Print Userform").Range("A1").PasteSpecial
End Sub
PrintForm uses the default printer you have set on your system and those default settings. Change the default to landscape and see if that works for you.
I am automating a process in my office, and saving a pdf file is part of it. So how can I save it? I need to press Ctr+Shift+s ..
I see solutions here but its in java. Looking for anyone who can share ways on how to simulate this. Also tried SendKeys but I can't pull Ctr and Shift.
SendKeys "S"
SendKeys "{TAB}"
this types "S", tab, well its tabs to the next control. But {CONTROL} , {SHIFT} does not work.
Is this possible? Or are there other ways to do this?
The keyboard modifiers have a special syntax, see the documentation.
Ctrl + Shift + s = SendKeys "^+s"
Hi, solution to my problem with this warning dialog box is not Application.DisplayAlerts = False/true
and can not find correct way to disable this alert. Can you help me please
(all options are set correctly? i tried also enabled macros)
As #R3uK said, you need to chose Enable all macros instead of Disable all macros with notification which throws you that notification. And when you have macros disabled then application.DisplayAlerts = false isnt executed and then not working.
When using Sendkeys with vb.net, is it possible to tell if the target of the Sendkeys has changed between sendings?
Thank you for your help!
No. But if you have control over the target, you can control where the SendKeys goes by Activating your target before the SendKeys.
