13lack13lade 21 Report post Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Hi All, Just trying to automate a program at work and im trying to get autoit to send the F14 key however send("{F14}") doesn't work, the {F14} doesn't even come up grey like the other function keys do in the script. Also since there is no f14 key the program i am using uses NUMPAD * as the f14 key however not sure how come i cant send {F14} or {NUMPAD *}... surely just missing something, any idea's? I've found some posts on the forum from 2009 that state autoit doesnt accommodate as f14 is not part of the standard keyboard, so is there a way to make it press the numpad * button else how do i work around it? Thanks guys!!! Edited June 11, 2014 by 13lack13lade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junkew 265 Report post Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) use below but then with the right value for VK_F14 value To send the ASCII value A (same as pressing ALT+065 on the numeric keypad) Send("{ASC 065}")(When using 2 digit ASCII codes you must use a leading 0, otherwise an obsolete 437 code page is used).To send UNICODE characters enter the character code (decimal or hex), for example this sends a Chinese character Send("{ASC 2709}") or Send("{ASC 0xA95}")VK_F14 0x7D F14 keyVK_F15 0x7E F15 keyVK_F16 0x7F F16 keyVK_F17 0x80 F17 keyVK_F18 0x81 F18 keyVK_F19 0x82 F19 keyVK_F20 0x83 F20 keyVK_F21 0x84 F21 keyVK_F22 0x85 F22 keyVK_F23 0x86 F23 keyVK_F24 0x87 F24 key Edited June 11, 2014 by junkew FAQ 31 How to click some elements, FAQ 40 Test automation with AutoIt, Multithreading CLR .NET Powershell CMDLets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
