Do ActiveX controls receive "KEYBOARD" command keys?

[jefftoaster]

I'm trying to programatically dropdown (open the calendar window) the DTPICKER activex control with either:
keyboard "{ALT+DNARROW}"
or
keyboard "{F4}"

but it seems to be ignoring it. Of course, if I tab to the control and actually press the keys on the keyboard it works fine. Do activex controls ignore keyboard input from the keyboard command?

Any ideas how to get around this?

THANKS for any help!!

I'd suggest programmatically setting focus to the control prior to issuing the KEYBOARD command.
