Apologies in advance if I am misunderstanding you, but are you having difficulty with holding a key in and then doing some other kind of SendKeys/SendMouse action? I have provided two examples here, the second I don't really have time to take any further, I will leave that as an exercise for you.
#!/usr/bin/perl use Win32::GuiTest qw(:ALL :VK); # launch notepad, hold shift, type things system("start notepad.exe"); sleep 1; SendRawKey(VK_SHIFT, 0); SendKeys ("im the operator with my pocket calculator"); SendRawKey(VK_SHIFT, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP); # Untested, but you may be able to get away with something like this SendRawKey(VK_ALT, 0); SendLButtonDown(); SendLButtonUp(); SendLButtonDown(); SendLButtonUp(); SendRawKey(VK_ALT, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP);
Hope this helps
