send() problem

i think one of us may be misinterpretting his intent... (would not be a first for me) to me it looks like he wants the key held for ten seconds, but is unhappy with the 10 second delay prior to the send.

I want the key to be simply held for 10 seconds. I don't this pause before the send.

Hope you understood me cause my english is not very good

$begin = TimerInit()

While 1

Send("e")

$dif = TimerDiff($begin)

if $dif >= 10000 Then

    MsgBox(0,"Time Difference",$dif)

    ExitLoop

EndIf

WEnd

It's almost what i wanna do, but that's not exactly the same thing. The key is not held...

it's the next line that states "pressed for 10 seconds as quickly as possible..."

but your are correct with your code "holding down" the "e" key.

actually that line is what made me think it was the initial 10 second delay he mentioned that was causing his problem.

check the code that i already posted... it holds the key for ten seconds...

ok... thanks to Cameronsdad and Valuater... this does both

$begin = TimerInit()
Send("{e down}")
ToolTip("e down")
While 1
    Send("e")
    $dif = TimerDiff($begin)
    if $dif >= 10000 Then
        MsgBox(0,"Time Difference",$dif)
        Send("{e up}")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
WEnd

glad to hear that it will be corrected, and i swear i did see that the first time you said it, i just wanted to try to provide a workaround that they could implement immediately

Hi JPM, I have beta 75 now, but now the code sends one "e" without any delay. Shouldn't it send e's for 10 seconds? Boy am I confuuzed...

opt("SendKeyDownDelay",10000)
WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad")
send("e")

in fact the e appear right away but the key is released only 10 sec after

opt("SendKeyDownDelay",10000)
WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad")
$start=TimerStart()
send("ee")
msgbox(0,"diff",timerdiff($start))

You can verify it with the following code
