ControlSend does not do what i want

[Merchants]

i don't know why this does not work wel..

ControlSend($Win, "", "", "test!", 1)

it says: test1

I think the problem is that "!" is used to send "Alt". Try "{!}" instead.

The documentation for Send() has more information on this.

edit: Now I see you are sending the keys raw. Guess you could still try without the raw flag, but using "{!}".

edit2: I can't actually reproduce your problem. I can send the string "test!" to scite without a problem.

Could be the app you're sending it to is changing the chars.

Couple of options you could try.

- SendMessage() API call yourself with WM_SETTEXT

- Try using an actual control classname or handle in the third param

- Use ControlSetText() instead.
