  How can I press ScrollLock by sendKeys, I want to actually light up the scroll lock light in my computer, when I use SendKeys.Send("{SCROLLLOCK"); it didn't work, do you know how can I do that?
  Thanks

  It could be a typo.  You're missing the last curly bracket around "Scrolllock".  You should have:

   

        SendKeys.Send("{SCROLLLOCK}");

  Also, while this function will mimic the pressing of the scrolllock key for text input, it may not (and probably won't) mimic the effect pressing of the key has on the keyboard.
