Is there a way to cycle a three position switch with a single button?

[Wile E.]

I don't have a great analog for the A-10C boat switch on my controls, so I was hoping I could fake it using one button that would just cycle between the three settings. The available controls are fore, center, aft, and then "fore <> center" and "center <> aft". 

Is there a way to do that? Is there maybe an external tool that will remember its current state and cycle through three keyboard presses to the next state? I have VoiceAttack, but didn't see anything stateful like that in it.

I figured out a way using VoiceAttack. I'll add it here for anyone searching for an answer. I created a VoiceAttack command when I press the button that has the following body.

All of these are under Other > Advanced. It increments the boatSwitch value, then does a mod 3 on it (so the value cycles between 0, 1, and 2), then sends the keyboard command for WHOT, CCD, or BHOT based on the value.
