JohnWPB... I know how to SENDKEY to the dropdown menus... the point is that iGKeys allows access to commands that are not available via the dropdowns... for example, using iGKeys it's possible to access internal menu commands by sending one keypress to automatically show all hospitals or gas stations within a 25-mile radius of current location... that can't be done via the dropdowns...

So, instead of having to click, in iGuidance, the MENU button, the DESTINATION button, the POI button, the AUTOMOTIVE button, the GAS button, and then the BY DISTANCE button, iGKeys makes it possible to just press, for example, the 'G' key and it handles all 6 of those keypresses transparently and just shows you the list of gas stations...

But again, I can't seem to figure out how to set the focus so that iGuidance is the active window *as* the SENDKEY is sending the keystroke... it always seems to send the default iGuidance keystroke instead, as if iGuidance where not the active window.

EDIT: Incidentally, I found out while working on this that you don't need to call the first part of the dropdown menus in iGuidance... at least not in the version 4 that I'm working with... for example, you don't have to SENDKEY;%{T}{R} to get the Route Info... You can just SENDKEY;{R} and it works just fine....
I also found that you can SENDKEY;{3} and it toggles beteen 3D view #2 and 2D view... someone might find that useful... of course, I'm trying to go a different route by using iGKeys, but those shortcuts work for me in iGuidance v4...
