PhilHibbs Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) I'm launching several copies of an application, and automating the filling in of the user name and password fields. Because some of the application windows pop up during the log in process for the subsequent ones, I use SendKeepActive to prevent the keys going to the wrong window. This almost works, but occasionally a keypress is lost which can result in the password being entered in a plain text input box. Any suggestions how I can prevent this interruption? The only thing I can think of would be to fill each edit box individually, and verify the contents before moving on to the next edit box or completing the process. If the last {Enter} is lost, I'd have to check to see that the login window has disappeared. Edited March 10, 2010 by PhilHibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulano Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I've had this problem, the way to fix it is to modify the delay between keystrokes. It'll vary by machine (probably) and application (certainly), but for me, this works:AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", 20) Good Luck #fgpkerw4kcmnq2mns1ax7ilndopen (Q, $0); while ($l = <Q>){if ($l =~ m/^#.*/){$l =~ tr/a-z1-9#/Huh, Junketeer's Alternate Pro Ace /; print $l;}}close (Q);[code] tag ninja!

PhilHibbs Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 That's a bit tidier, thanks, but I think my main problem was that the login window for the previous launch was still present when I started trying to send keys to the newly-launched one, and it was getting the windows mixed up. It now waits for the login window to disappear before allowing the next one to be started. Full script will appear in Example Scripts soon.
