High Contrast Mode: simulate leftALT+leftSHIFT+PRINT SCREEN

[soft666]

I'm trying to simulate the pressing of LEFT ALT + LEFT SHIFT + PRINT SCREEN which switches to high contrast mode in Windows

I created a keyboard action with the following text::


<ALT_DOWN><SHIFT_DOWN><PRINT_SCREEN>

I tried other variations with LEFT SHIFT, LEFT ALT but I can not get it to work

Any help is appreciated.

Or if there's another way of simulating switching high contrast mode on/off...

edit2: I found out high contrast mode has something to do with sethc.exe which is in C:\WINDOWS\system32. Now if only I could figure out how it turns the High contrast mode on

edit3: pressing the SHIFT Key 5 times will also produce the high contrast mode. Can't simulate it either.

edit4: this was addressed before here (http://www.promixis.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=9306) on this board but no solution found. Don't know anything about API calls...

Is it possible to do this with the command capture?

I tried, the sethc.exe comands show up, but when I test nothing happens....

i looked at this but see no obvious way to do it.

It would be nice if Girder could do it.

In the mean time I have a File Execute Action that runs an AutoIt script file.

Here are the links for those interested:

Mike C: Maybe from the AutoIt script you could figure out how to do it on Girder or maybe not, I dunno

Thank you very much.

The high contrast group started acting up lately, on my pc. Can't explain it. It worked fine for quite a while.

The Accessibility Options window pops up but then it doesn't turn on the High Contrast option.

It works when it feels like it, at least on my computer.
