Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted December 10, 2015 Moderators Posted December 10, 2015 Hi, @rrrppp, welcome to the forum. Are you doing any error checking in the VBS, as I don't see it spelled out here? How do you know you're successfully creating the two objects? "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

rrrppp Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 I already check using IsObject and it creates object successfully.
BrewManNH Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 You could do it all in VBScript using SendKeys If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

rrrppp Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 I tried using sendkeys but it's not working.Somebody suggest me to use Autoit, It might work but getting same result.
BrewManNH Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I doubt it would work differently, I believe they're using the same mechanism to send the keys. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

rrrppp Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 I tried both Autoit and Sendkeys but none of them are working. Do you have any other way to send keystrokes ?

rrrppp Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 It's just small script to open Media Express and press CTRL+1 key. I don't what is UAC and how to check that . Sorry ,I am new to this world.
Developers Jos Posted December 11, 2015 Developers Posted December 11, 2015 Do you get a prompt when running MediaExpress.exe to allow running it? ps: Google is your friend when you don;t understand things yet.

rrrppp Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Nope , I dint get any prompt . Edited December 11, 2015 by rrrppp
Developers Jos Posted December 11, 2015 Developers Posted December 11, 2015 Try putting in a little longer sleep before sending the keystroke, to ensure the program really has fully started and is ready to receive keystrokes.Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.
rrrppp Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 I tried with Wscript.Sleep 3000 but no luck.
