Recommended Posts

Hi Folks,

i got that problem that if i want to use the command Controlsend with Enter, it activates the window instead of sendin enter to the window! If the window is active (what i want to avoid) it works fine.

The problem is that i dont want the window to be active, any ideas?

Thanks alot!

If you post some applicable code we can look at your problem

Isn't it supposed to be "{ENTER}" instead of {"ENTER"}

Yeah, its "{ENTER}" but anyway, just doesn't work!!!

Code is like

$window="Win1"

controlsend($window,"","","Hello")

sleep(1000)

controlsend($window,"","","{ENTER}")

AIght, it only works if I use Enter twice since the window get activated!!! The text works, just the Enter command doesnt!

no one have ideas? i have the same problem

You need to supply the ControlSend command more info (ie ControlID). Your first Enter is just activating the Application and the second is hitting the default button. You need the ControlID for the button you wish to hit. Use the AutoIT Window Info tool to find out the ControlID.
