Is there a reason my hotkey isn't working?

[siegefried]

Hi All

I've just started learning AutoIT, so do forgive me if my question is foolish. I am currently trying to automate filling in a form that allows me to do mass bookings for my customers. The script is as follows:

HotKeySet("#Space", "_Start")

While 1

Sleep(10)

WEnd

Func _Start()

WinWaitActive ("Booking Calendar - Add Booking Event - Mozilla Firefox")

Send ("+{TAB 16}")

Send ("{Space}")

Send ("{Tab}")

Send ("Test")

Send ("{Tab}")

Send ("66666666")

Send ("{Tab}")

Send ("noemail@test.com")

Send ("{Tab}")

Send ("Test")

EndFunc

If I only use the function itself, from WinWaitActive to Send ("Test"), it works. The moment I try to use a hotkey to activate filling in the form though, pressing Windows + Spacebar doesn't do anything. Has there been anything that I overlooked? Thank you very much for your help!

Oops, I realized my silly error. It should have been #{Space}.

From HotKeySet() help file:

The key combination to use as the hotkey. Same format as Send().

Look at the Send() function in the helpfile at the two keys you are trying to bind.

EDIT: {#}{SPACE}

Run('notepad.exe')

Sleep(4000)

Send("{#}")

Send("{SPACE}")

or

Send("{#}{SPACE}")

Exit
