problem with send keys ctrl+a

[daniel02]

Hi,

I have a problem sending ctrl+a keys to a program.

That is NOT working:

send ("^a")

Next example is only partial working. The "down" is working the "up" not as all programms which are minimzied can not be maximized again until pressing strg again manually.

Send("{LCTRL down}{a down}")

Sleep(1000)

Send("{LCTRL up}{a up}")

So in the last example the ctrl+a is working but not released again.

Any idea?

Thanks

Daniel

Hi,

I am wrong. It is also not working properly. It is working if I just start this single funktion. But is it not working ALLWAYS in the whole prog. Sometimes it does.

Very strange,

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Daniel

You should either use ControlSend, or activate the window with WinActivate() before the keys are sent. The window has to be active for the keys to be sent to that program.

Thanks for that hint but I am allready doing this

Maybe your program is slow in recognizing key presses? Try using:

Opt("SendKeyDelay", 50)
Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 50)

Stick it in the start of your script, then just do:

Send("^a")
