mikjay Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Please excuse me if this question has been asked previously. I'm trying to use AutoIt to automate some processes at work. Many times my intention is to use AutoIt as a glorified form filler. I keep getting hung up, however, on the Send() command. It seems to give different results every time I use it. I threw this bit of code together to demonstrate the problem: ShellExecute("notepad.exe") WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad") Send("This is a test, only a test. Please calm down.") Exit Returns: *Opens Notepad Types: This isa ets,to nly atset . Please acl mdwon. Or: This isa ets,to nly atset . please acl mdow.n Or: Tihsi s a test, noyl a test. Pelaes calm down. I just wanted to demonstrate the unpredictability. I also added a flag 1 to the send command, no change. Any ideas? Thanks very much in advance!

water Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Please try ControlSend("Untitled - Notepad","",15,"This is a test, only a test. Please calm down.") 15 is the ControlId as returned by AutoIt Window Info Tool.

AdmiralAlkex Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Do you have this "form" open in Internet Explorer? Then take a look at "IE Management" in the helpfile. .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
