Send key presses to computer

[tec508]

Hi guys,   

Total newbie to AutoIt.  I've run a few scripts that I found on the internet in the past, I haven't done any of my own scripting.      I'm trying to send some keyboard presses to a computer via TCP from a automation system (Crestron). 

I'm able to emulate and send any TCP command from the Crestron side, so what I need help with is how to script the AutoIt side of things, and find out what my commands will need to be so I can add them in my Crestron program.

Any help is appreciated!

Do you have any code yet that we can look at? Do you only need to send key presses? That can be done with Send() or ControlSend().

anthonyjr2,

 

I haven't done any code yet.   I did try to run the example TCP scripts on the autoit wiki and play with the parameters but I kept having issues with TCPStartup.

Essentially yes, I just need to be able to send numbers (0-9), a couple letters, and the escape key to the computer as if they were typed on a keyboard.

@tec508 just telling us "it didn't work" doesn't help us help you. If you're working off an example script with altered parameters, how about posting that, with a detailed description of what errors/behavior you're seeing.
