I'm trying to left click the mouse on the keyboard with vbscript sendkey. I've tried this code before:
 set shell = CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell")
shell.SendKeys "(numpad5)" but is not working
my left click button is numpad5. Could you help?

Edit: I want sendkey and notepad ++ with vbscript and when I press numpad5 mouse left click works

What I have tried:

set shell = CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell")
shell.SendKeys "(numpad5)" but is not working

I turned on mouse access and the button on numpad5 was mouse left click. I also want to send a numpad5 command with sendkey. The mouse is left clicked indirectly.

Well, that code isn't going to work at all. It seems you have some incorrect assumptions on what SendKeys does.

It does NOT assign a key to some other function. All it does is send keystrokes to whatever window has the focus. In your case, you sent the keys "( n u m p a d 5 )" to whatever window had the input focus. So the keys could have gone to a window you didn't intend, or even to nowhere!

Also, you have no way of telling the mouse to click on anything from VBScript.

The Numpad keys do not appear to be defined in SendKeys.

So can I assign the mouse click key to another key or is there a script for it? It is ok even if not sendkey.

I have no idea what you "turned on mouse access and the button on numpad5" in. I have no idea if that's re-definable in whatever you set that up in.

If you're looking to automate something, look into AutoIt.

Some special keys, such as the control keys, function keys etc are encoded in a string enclosed by {braces}
