[Mutalgaettae]

I understand send or control send will press a button

but how do u hold it for a controlled time?

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

... and 5 topics down from 'Send' in the same help file:

SendKeyDownDelay (Option)

HTH,

whim

PS If you have an AutoIt function that does not work for you,

or behaves unexpectedly, put your cursor before it's first

character, and press F1 (or Alt-F1 if running beta)
