Problem with compiled AutoIt project

[samozaparola]

I have noticed a different behavior in the compiled .exe versus the original interpreted .au3 AutoIt 3 project:

When I try to pass

Send("{CTRLDOWN}v{CTRLUP}")

which is to simulate the Ctrl + v "paste" action, everything works as expected in the au3, but sends only the "v" in the compiled exe application.

samozaparola,

Warning: This is only a SWAG*.

Perhaps if you tried waiting a bit between the simulated key presses:

Send("{CTRLDOWN}")
Sleep(100)
Send("v")
Sleep(100)
Send("{CTRLUP}")

But I have never used Send in a compiled script, so I make no promises!

I once noticed a difference between compiled and uncompiled scripts and it turned out to be caused by my interpeted scripts being run as 64bit, while the I compiled to 32bit by default.

Perhaps you're doing the same?

Shouldn't "^v" be send?

edit: or is it sent?

Thank you guys for helping me with that issue! Tvern, it was developed and compiled on one and the same machine. Both Melba23 and trancexx (as far as I can remember, it has to be senT) examples do work, though there was a quotation mark displacement in the Melba23's example, so if anyone prefers his method,here it is:

Send("{CTRLDOWN}")
Sleep(100)
Send("v")
Sleep(100)
Send("{CTRLUP}")

They could still be run and compiled 32, or 64bit. And it seems a likely reason for differences in behavior. If you run "MsgBox(0,"test",@AutoItX64)" both interpeted and compiled, what are the results?

They both return "0". But the surprise was that both the script and the executable did well with Send("{CTRLDOWN}v{CTRLUP}") this time. I remember I got some UPX compress errors the first time I compiled each project (I used the right click menu option to start compilation). By your suggestion, I compiled a project with the 64 checkbox marked, and the exe won't run at all, i get an error message box: "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows... "

So I assume the compiled projects run faster which can cause some different behaviour....

samozaparola,

That was my guess which is why I suggested the Sleeps.
