ControlDend command entering sme wrong values sometimes

[rahuroy]

I am using controlsend command in scripts.

Am sending values

1) C:\sudhi\temp but sometimes it types as C:\sudhi|temp

2)%temp% sometimes types as 5temp%

3)C:\sudhi sometimes types as C;\sudhi

If i observe carefully typing | instead of / , 5 instead of % and ; instead of :...All these keys are on same key of keyboard.

Please let me know how to solve issue?

[JScript]

I use in loop through 100 times, did not fail!!!

ControlSend("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", "Edit1", "C:\sudhi\temp" & @CR)
ControlSend("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", "Edit1", "%temp%" & @CR)
ControlSend("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", "Edit1", "C:\sudhi" & @CR)

Global $emdir = IniRead($INI, "EMSettings", "IS_INSTALLDIR", "")

ControlSend("InstallShield Wizard","Change Current Destination Folder","[CLASS:RichEdit20W; INSTANCE:1]",$emdir)

I am using like above.If machine is too fast and quick will it type sometimes the other values? like | instead of \ (In my case C:\sudhi entering as C:|sudhi)

Maybe slow down the key send delay?

Opt("SendKeyDelay", 5) ;5 milliseconds

Or plug in a different keyboard?

Edit: I guess that would be SPEED UP the send key delay, or slow down the rate at which keys are sent

Look in the Help File about "Opt()". It goes at the very top of the script...
