    Shell "osk.exe", vbNormalFocus

    using the above command to get the on screen keyboard as was advised to me here before. I need this to be closed via a button press, ie 'enter' not the X in the top corner.

    Any ideas?

    pass the message wm_terminate to osk.exe

    first check with another api call if osk.exe is in memory..

    Will your vb application or osk.exe have focus when the key press happens?
    What I mean is:
    A certain key stroke occurs on you're application and it shuts down osk.exe

    or

    A certain key stroke occurs on osk.exe, and you want to intercept it and shut down osk.

    One button is used to open the osk.
    shell "osk.exe"

    and another is used to shut it down
