bo8ster Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Try ControlSend("My Window", '', '', "{RIGHT} {DOWN}"). I assume you are trying to hold the right arrow key down for some reason. Post your code because code says more then your words can. SciTe Debug mode - it's magic: #AutoIt3Wrapper_run_debug_mode=Y.

bo8ster Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Not sure what you are trying to do, what keys are you trying to simulate? Post your code because code says more then your words can.

namedrisk Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 im just trying to send RIGHT DOWN for 500 miliseconds then RIGHT UP to a game window... but it does not work, i mean all keys works but if i want it to be {KEY down} or {KEY up} it will not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omikron48 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 You could try Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 500). Only thing is, it also makes other key presses last 500ms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namedrisk Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 You could try Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 500). Only thing is, it also makes other key presses last 500ms.thx will try that out, i mean i could make it before and change it after so it would not affect the others keys...will post back a feed back thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mison Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) try Send("{down 500}") send down arrow keystroke x 500... I wonder why Send("{down down}") is not working... In the help file it states that: To hold a key down (generally only useful for games) Send("{a down}") ;Holds the A key down Send("{a up}") ;Releases the A key but if you run Send("{a down}"), "a" key will be pressed(and released) just once... just like Send("a").. why? a bug?

omikron48 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Maybe it should be {{RIGHT} DOWN}? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mison Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 doesn't work too.. by the way, {shiftdown} works fine and gives expected result Hi ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
