String value problem from Send function

[dar100111]

Hey All,

I keep having a weird lag issue with my send command. It's like it's processing the letters too fast and causing some anomolies.

I have a step where I'm saving something to an image program after it's created.  I'm saving by the reference by

ControlSend($edoc, "", "[CLASS:TScaleMemo; INSTANCE:2]", $edocnumber)

I have a value say "DFWT113001" that represents my $edocnumber in this case.

It appears like it's writing the letters slow and not correctly evertime it's done "DFWT1301", "DFWT11301", "DFWT13001".

It's not consistent writing it to the field.  Is there a function or a way I can make sure it takes enough time to write this properly?

Wondered if anyone experience anything like this.  Thanks for the help!

You could check

ControlSend($edoc, "", "[CLASS:TScaleMemo; INSTANCE:2]", $edocnumber, 1)

to send the data as a raw string without AutoIt interpreting special characters.

If this doesn't work play with

AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", n)

to set the length of the brief pause in between sent keystrokes (default = 5 milliseconds).

Thanks water.  What would be the correct syntax to apply autoitset option for my variable in the control send statement?  I tried the first and that didn't seem to work.  And thanks again for the help!

AutoItSetOption is a global setting.

AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", 500)

will wait half a second after each sent character.

Ah ok.  Looks like I tried Controlsettext and the result was instant and seemed to have solved my problem.  Thanks for the help Water!
