Question:

Is there anyway that I can get WinBatch to recognize that MouseKey is on and that pressing the numberpad key 6 (for example) should move the mouse pointer to the right one pixel?

Answer:

I created a sample script to launch "Accessibility Properties" and then check to see if the checkbox is checked. This script was created in Win98, so you may need to modify it for other versions of Windows.

Then to sendkeys using the Numeric Keypad area of the keyboard, you will need at least version 98A of Winbatch.

;===============cut===========================
AddExtender("wwctl34I.dll")

Run("rundll32.exe", "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL ACCESS.CPL")

title="Accessibility Properties"
multiwnd=DllHwnd(title)
tabtitle="Mouse"
systabwnd=cWndByClass(multiwnd,"SysTabControl32")
cSetTabItem(systabwnd,4)

mousewnd=cWndByName(multiwnd,"Mouse")
prefchkbox=cWndByname(mousewnd,"Use MouseKeys")
chk=cCheckbox(prefchkbox,-1)


if chk==1 
   Message("MouseKeys", "MouseKeys is enabled")
else
   Message("MouseKeys", "MouseKeys is NOT enabled")
endif

Starting with version 98A of Winbatch, added additional special characters to the SendKey (and SendKeysTo and SendKeysChild) functions:
