SendKey
This function sends the hexadecimal value that is equivalent to the physical keyboard or virtual-key code to the server as if it came from the physical or virtual keyboard. The server will process it if it has special meaning. For example, sending an F key will get processed in the Form_OnFkey event if it is programmed to do so. It is similar to the VB ‘SendKeys’ command.
Note: To assign a function to a Fkey see the topic Configuring Sidebar Menus and Function Keys.
