To enter Ctrl-Shift-F7:

	  SendKeysto("Microsoft Word", "^+{F7}")


Got this from this link - http://techsupt.winbatch.com/TS/T000001058F28.html

Hope it helps

Felisque, it is not possible to for function keys to be used. This is
a windows security measure.

It is not possible to use the Function key like a command in the batch
files... but infact if you want to implement, therez always some way
to do it. I dont know what you are trying to do out here using the
function keys. but you can create an exe in C language using Intrrupt
programming to fire the command for function key. and execute this exe
usig your batch file. If you need more help on how to create such
program in C language, that will be answered saperately in next
question.

We ran into this at work.  We needed a bat/program for Function + F2,
which enables and disables WiFi.  Initially Idid not have very much
success.  What I ended up doing is downloading DEVCON from micro$oft. 
DEVCON is basically a command line version of the Windows Device
Manager.  MY first test was a bat file, as you requested, that
executed a DEVCON disable for the WiFi NIC card.  It worked perfectly.
 Eventually, I wrote both a Windows Service and normal VP Application
to take care of executing these tasks utilizing DEVCON.

DEVCON can be downloaded here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q311272

At a command prompt, browse to the directory holding DEVCON, and type
the following command:      DEVCON hwids =net

It will show you your Wireless NIC card, and the Compatible IDs.  

Next do some trial and error testing with your results.

At command prompt here is the syntax of a disable command:
DEVCON DISABLE <insert compatible ID here>

DEVCON DISABLE PCI\VEN_1317
