shell command

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?

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.
