vargadanis Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone, fisrt post! I would like to send a CTRL+A keystroke with Send however for some reason the script fails to do it. It doesn't return any errors of any sorts just doesn't do it. Here is how i did it: Send( "^a" ) Did I miss something? Thanks, Regards Edited December 13, 2010 by vargadanis
fett8802 Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Putting this in Scite and running cause all my code to be selected in Scite. MouseClick("left") Send("^a") I'm not sure why it isn't working for you. You are trying to select all of something, correct? Not use Alt+A? -Fett Edited December 13, 2010 by fett8802 [sub]My UDF[/sub][sub] - Basics and Time extensions.

vargadanis Posted December 13, 2010 Author Posted December 13, 2010 Yeah I am trying to select all, which is the CTRL+A key combination. Dunno why as I did click into the field before sending it. I'll try to figure it out :S PS: what did you enter for the code block to do autoit syntax highlighting?
Moderators Melba23 Posted December 13, 2010 Moderators Posted December 13, 2010 vargadanis,Welcome to the AutoIt forum. You get the syntax highlighting (or a form of it) when you post code between Code tags. Put [autoit ] before and [/autoit ] after the posted code (but omit the trailing space - it is only there so the tags display here).

BrewManNH Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 @vargadanis You might have to use a WinActivate on the window you're trying to send the CTRL-A to. If it's not the window with focus when you send the keys, it's not going to work as intended. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

omikron48 Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Try lengthening the SendKeyDownDelay to 50ms or more. If it's not the window focus, it might be that the window can't detect to sent keys fast enough.

Radix Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Yea. And this code is pretty old too. Just like I found this question by chance, other people who have the same problem will have the old answer never given.
Nine Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Sorry to say, but this problem has been discussed hundreds of times before, involving the same solution... “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Spoiler Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Debug Messages Monitor UDF Screen Scraping Round Corner GUI UDF Multi-Threading Made Easy Interface Object based on Tag
