notaqua Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hey all, back again for some help. I'm once again just trying to write a simple macro... Send ("{LWINDOWN}") - works fine Send ("d") - works fine Then I try to send the "LWINUP" function, and LWINUP simply never turns orange, it stays grey like normal text. Any ideas as to why this is happening? The help file simply says, {LWINDOWN} presses the left windows key down until the {LWINUP} key is sent. Am I missing something here? I've checked and double checked the syntax... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormbreaker Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Judging what you want to do... you want to minimize all the windows using WinKey+D... right? So, I do it like:Send('{LWINDOWN}d') Send('{LWINUP}')OR perhaps just: Send('{LWINDOWN}d{LWINUP}')How's that???Both are working for me (Win XP x86).

BrewManNH Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Wouldn't this be easier? Send("#d") 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.

notaqua Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks, #d works, but MKISH, as for LWINUP, that was my problem. I was trying to use it, but it was acting as if I didn't have the library, or something, installed that calls LWINUP. LWINDOWN and RWINDOWN worked just fine, but neither UP key.
