trouble with Send() function

[odexed]

help me please. i need to make a simple script which starts notepad and open a new file.

I trying it:

Run("notepad.exe")
Send("^o")
Send("{ENTER}")

but it just prints letter "o" in notepad.

is it problem in my system? how can i do this?

P.S. autoit v.3.3.8.0

Try this:

Run("notepad.exe")
Send("{CTRLDOWN}")
Send("o")
Send("{CTRLUP}")
Send("{ENTER}")

odexed,

After starting NotePad (or whatever) you want to make sure that it has focus.

Try this:

Run("notepad.exe")
Send("{CTRLDOWN}")
Send("o")
Send("{CTRLUP}")
Send("{ENTER}")

it also doesn't work.

window is active and focus sets after run

it seems there is some problem with my windows 7

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Notepad]")
Send("^o")
Send("{ENTER}")

When i press Ctrl+O on the keyboard manually it's ok

Look here

Try to switch keyboard layout to english and see if problem remains.

In Notepad you can use WinMenuSelectItem() instead of Send()
