You can find the latest 12.5 PFC release at: http://pfc.codeplex.com/releases/view/574382

If your project doesn't already include the PFC, you are better off using the example at the link I sent you earlier in this thread.  It should be pretty easy to incorporate into your current class library so that it is inherited.

Did you try pressing F4?

If you want a different keystroke, look into something like this...

1. Define an external function (keyBd_event has been superceded by sendInput, but works for the purposes of this example):

SUBROUTINE keybd_event( int bVk, int bScan, int dwFlags, int dwExtraInfo) LIBRARY "user32.dll"

2. define a datawindow user event for pbm_dwnKey and insert the following (this will issue an F4 down and F4 up when the user presses PageDown while holding the CTRL/Shift):

IF key = KeyPageDown! THEN

     IF keyFlags = 3 THEN

          POST FUNCTION keybd_event(115, 0, 0, 0)

          POST FUNCTION keybd_event(115, 0, 2, 0)

     END IF

END IF

So, it sounds like what you want is a type ahead DDDW?  If you are using the PFC, this is built into the framework.  If you are not using the PFC, try this link:
