Script don't send CTRL key

[joepesce]

Hi I'm making a simple script to send some hotkeys to control vmware software, but every function with CTRL + key doesn't seem to work

for example:

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware.exe")
Sleep(3000)
WinActivate("VMware Workstation")
ControlSend("VMware Workstation", "", 10002, "^o")
Sleep(1000)
ClipPut("C:\006\006.vmx")
Send("^v")
Send("{ENTER}")
Sleep(3000)
WinActivate("VMware Workstation")
ControlSend("VMware Workstation", "", 10002, "^b")
Sleep(50000)
ControlSend("VMware Workstation", "", 10002, "^e")

 

please anyone can help me?

Have you tried it manuel with fingers on Keyboard? Did this work?

What is control 10002 you are sending this to?

10002 is the box on the left when you open vmware

Try this 

Send("{CTRLDOWN}")
ControlSend("VMware Workstation", "", 10002, "o")
Send("{CTRLUP}")

Wait.... You're just sending a path to the Open dialog. Why not just use ControlSetText?

Also I'm pretty sure if you use Run("C:\006\006.vmx") it should automatically open the .vmx in the vmware.

And finally, I'm sure there's a command line parameter you can launch vmware with to automatically open that machine. If I had to guess

ShellExecute("Vmware exe", "C:\006\006.vmx", "directory to vmware")

Here are the command line parameters you can pass to vmware.exe

try

#RequireAdmin

at the beginning of your code.

You already have it active, try just Send instead of Control Send.
