Press and Hold KeyStrokes

Is it possible to record a key sequence and have the keys pressed down for a period of time. Such as Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get to the reboot dialog?

When I record the sequence in Ranorex and play back, Ranorex will press Ctrl then release then press Alt then release, etc. Thanks

Keyboard.Press("{ControlKey DOWN}{Home}{ControlKey UP}");

Usually, if you record such a keystroke with Ranorex Recorder, it should generate a Keyboard Sequence action containing the exact same string ciege posted before.

However, Ctrl+Alt+Delete will most probably not work, because it is a special keyboard shortcut Windows won't allow to be simulated by an automation program for security reasons.
