shift + arrow key

Hi I want to automate the process of selecting some lines from "Personal Communications iSeries Access for Windows". https://i.sstatic.net/doshI.jpg Manually this can be accomplished by:- 1. selecting from mouse (Drag mouse holding LEFT mouse button) 2. Position the cursor and press SHIFT+ARROW keys(UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT).

I tried to do it with VBScript in following way:-

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "{RIGHT 5}"     'Position the cursor
WshShell.SendKeys "+{RIGHT 5}"    'Sending SHIFT+Right Arrow five times

But the code for shift+RIGHT Arrow Keys is not working for me. It is writing 66666. Similarly for WshShell.SendKeys "+{LEFT 5}"I am getting 44444 as output.

These VBScript sendkeys commands are working fine for other windows applications(like MS Word, Notepad).

Any idea how to proceed?

Try turning NumLock on, then use the arrow keys on the numbers 4 and 6.
