needelsjg Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I'm trying to lock the screen at the end of the script, but I can't get the (LWIN or RWIN) and the L to work at the same time. I've tried: Send, {LWIN} L Send, {LWIN L} Send, {{LWIN} L} Send, {LWINDOWN} Send, L Send, {LWINUP} I've tried it in v3 also but cant get it to work. How would you do it?

LxP Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Oops, this is the v2 support forum! :">I don't use AutoIt v2, but I can tell you that in v3 the correct code would be:send("#l")I don't think that v2 has the ability to send Win+ shortcuts (in the same fashion as Ctrl+ etc.) but I could be wrong.Windows may not allow emulation of this key (I know it doesn't allow emulation of Ctrl+Alt+Del and some others). In such a case, looking at the MSDN reference, if you upgrade to AutoIt v3 beta you would the ability to make Windows system calls. I can't test this here but perhaps something like this would work (in v3):dllCall("user32.dll", "none", "LockWorkstation") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needelsjg Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Thanks. the send("#l") works. the dllCall... isn't working. Why does the # sign work in place of the Windows key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxP Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Because the key combination you are trying to send uses the Windows key as a modifier. Just like you can't save a document by pressing/releasing Ctrl and then pressing/releasing S, you cannot ask Windows to lock the computer by pressing/releasing Win and then pressing/releasing L.

w0uter Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 your l is capitalised (L) in the first script. make it small and it should work. Send, {LWINDOWN} Send, l Send, {LWINUP} but i suggest using v3 since it is more powerfull.

Bi0haZarD Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 (edited) dllCall("user32.dll", "none", "LockWorkstation")just incase anyone searches for this later and cant get this to work. the s in WorkStation is capitalized.so it would be...dllCall("user32.dll", "none", "LockWorkStation") Edited September 7, 2005 by Bi0haZarD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxP Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Thanks for sharing this -- I didn't realise that capitalisation of routine was so important! I'll remember this for next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needelsjg Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 I typed it that way for "read-ability" I had tried as many combos as I could including the lowercase "L" but it wouldn't work for me. Did you try it and get it to work? I have since changed my script to AU3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
