The Ctrl and Shift keys aren't ordinary keys that result in a key code; they only
alter the key code of other keys that are pressed simultaneously with these keys.
You can't do what you want; can you elaborate on your problem? Maybe there's
another way to solve it.

kind regards,

what i want to do is to run the admin cmd in my windows vista os. when i click on the start button, enter cmd, and press enter i will get the normal cmd for a normal user. but if i want to run the admin cmd there is too many ways which are not working with me, but one of these ways is to type in the run cmd +ctrl+shift+ent er which will run the cmd as admin.
that is why i want to include the ctrl and the shift in the string.

if you have any ideas i would be greatful.

best regards

Pressing Ctrl and Shift are user gestures; you can't capture a user gesture in
a String. What you want can not be done.
