Press Windows Key twice from within VFP using API

I would like to send keys to the system to press the windows keys twice from
within VFP. This should be able to be done using something similiar to:

DEFINE VK_LWIN = 0 && H5B ?
DEFINE KEYEVENTF_KEYUP = 2097152 && H2

DECLARE keybd_event IN Win32API ;
SHORT bVk, SHORT bScan, INTEGER dwFlags, INTEGER deExtraInfo
keybd_event(VK_LWIN,0,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0)
keybd_event(VK_LWIN,0,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0)Has anyone done this before? Am I on
the right track? I know VK_LWIN should be H5B (well, I'm pretty sure
anyway).

TIA,
Tracy

This works:

#DEFINE VK_LWIN 0x5B
#DEFINE VK_RWIN 0x5C
#DEFINE KEYEVENTF_KEYUP 0x2

DECLARE keybd_event IN Win32API ;
SHORT bVk, SHORT bScan, INTEGER dwFlags, INTEGER deExtraInfo

keybd_event(VK_LWIN,0x5B,0,0)
keybd_event(VK_LWIN,0x5B,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0)
=INKEY(.3)
keybd_event(VK_LWIN,0x5B,0,0)
keybd_event(VK_LWIN,0x5B,KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0)
CLEAR DLLS keybd_event
