Hello and and a question

[searay200]

Hi,

Have an issue with a + in a string being used with send that seems to be beign stripped out?

Have read the docs and seems to be able to do this with flags but cant get the syntax to work and cant find an example.

Would appreicate some assistance with this,

Thanks in advance.

Post reproducing code.  And more helpful titles to these posts than 'Hello and and a question'.

helpfile:

 

Send Command (if zero flag) Resulting Keypress {!} ! {#} # {+} +

helpfile doesn't translate in paste well...send {+}, not +...by default, + is interpreted as a Shift

Click the below 'link' for all the commands:

Send

I still dont get the syntax, can you give me an example:

so for wer+ert

As the text I want to send.

searay200,

You need to set the flag parameter so that the "+" is read as a character and not as a modifier - the Help file page explains all.

Send ( "keys" [, flag] )

 flag = 1, keys are sent raw.

Send ( "wer+ert" , 1 )

Global $hNotepad, $hEdit
If Not GetNotepadHWNDs($iPid) Then
    MsgBox(1,1,"couldn't launch, or find window, or find edit")
    Exit
EndIf

ControlSend($hNotepad,"",$hEdit,"First Example: +something" & @LF)
ControlSend($hNotepad,"",$hEdit,"Second Example: {+}something" & @LF)

Func GetNotepadHWNDs($iCallersPID)
    $iTimer = TimerInit()
    Local $iCurPid
    While $iCallersPID And TimerDiff($iTimer) < 5000
        $aNotepad = WinList("[CLASS:Notepad]")
        For $i = 1 To UBound($aNotepad)-1
            _WinAPI_GetWindowThreadProcessId($aNotepad[$i][1],$iCurPid)
            If $iCurPid = $iCallersPID Then
                $hNotepad=$aNotepad[$i][1]
                $iTimer2 = TimerInit()
                While Not BitAND(WinGetState($hNotepad),7) And TimerDiff($iTimer2)<5000
                WEnd
                While Not IsHWnd($hEdit) And TimerDiff($iTimer2)<5000
                    $hEdit = ControlGetHandle($hNotepad,"",$hEdit)
                WEnd
                ExitLoop 2
            EndIf
        Next
    WEnd
    Return IsHWnd($hNotepad) And IsHWnd($hEdit)
EndFunc

Output into notepad:

First Example: Something

Second Example: +something
