Have you tried Send(!N) in case it is an upper case n that is required.

[Jaccus]

Just did it. Still the same :|

Try

Send({ALTDOWN})
Send(n)
Send({ALTUP})

Edit

Or try using ControlSend

Send({ALTDOWN})

Send(^ ERROR

Error: Unable to parse line.

any other ideas?

you have to surround text to be sent like that with quotes. so it would be:

Send("{ALTDOWN}N{ALTUP}")

Oops type in to much of a hurry, I think I should shutdown for the night.

Thanks guys but still nothing's happened. Maybe the problem is somewhere else?

i've put:

WinWaitActive("text")

before, to make sure it's correct window but no idea why it still doesn't work...

is "text" the beginning of the window title? if not, your script is most likely not executing beyond that line.

try:

WinActivate("WindowTitleHere")
WinWaitActive("WindowTitleHere")
Send("!N")

[Valuater]

WinWaitActive('?window title name?")

WinWaitActive("text")

and its always with quotes

this

Send({ALTDOWN})

needs to be

Send("{ALTDOWN}")

may want to make sure you use the same type of quotes on either end of your string too...

[Jaccus]

i'm begginer yet so maybe my mistake is easy to see in code:

it's Polish but i guess no matter if you know how it should looks like.

[Valuater]

try this

Run("notepad.exe")
Winwait(""); waits for the last window ran
$handle = WinGetHandle("Bez tytutu - Notatnik"); check my spelling here
Send(" this is some text")
Sleep(200); waits for send to finish words
Send(!N")

; your script closed the program then tried to send...???

To which application are you trying to send ALT+N?

what happens when you do it manually?

[Jaccus]

thx Valuater, it seems to work now properly

btw. i wanted to close it (to get closing message if i want to save that doc and to choose 'no')

but with Your code i can use like File/Close

[Valuater]

WinClose("title????")

should work because once you have changed the text in notepad.. it will ask you if you want to save it

Referring to your screenshot, I can see the error in the code:

WinWaitActive("Tekst")

'Tekst' appears as part of the window text and not the title, so you should use:

WinWaitActive("", "Tekst")
; (or this)
 WinWaitActive("Notatnik", "Tekst")
