trbn Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hello, when using Autoit function "SendKeepActive" in combination with repated single character Send, AutoIt loses focus if I click on the desktop or another window. Can anyone reproduce this behaviour? Or is this a bug? I'm on "Win Server 2008 R2 Standard". Example Code is attached. Function "_SingleCharRepeat_Fails" produces the failure. Function "_NO_SingleCharRepeat_Works" works as expected. Thank You SendKeepActive_loses_focus.au3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trbn Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Sorry, I quoted myself by mistake. Why not "if" with sendkeepactive? But thanks to your question, I noticed my given code example wasn't complete. It should have look like this: If (SendKeepActive("[CLASS:Notepad]")) Then $OldDelay = Opt("SendKeyDelay", 50) Send("{a 50}") Opt("SendKeyDelay", $OldDelay) SendKeepActive("") Else ; Sum-Ting WenWong EndIf But it still loses focus (when I click on the Desktop or elsewhere). Even if I do this: SendKeepActive("[CLASS:Notepad]") $OldDelay = Opt("SendKeyDelay", 50) Send("{a 50}") Opt("SendKeyDelay", $OldDelay) SendKeepActive("") It loses focus (when I click on the Desktop or elsewhere). When I change this line Send("{a 50}") to Send("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa") Then it works. Can you repdroduce this behaviour. Thank you for taking the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
careca Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Nope, it works here with both the provided codes As for the: If (SendKeepActive("[CLASS:Notepad]")) Then I just never seen that function coupled with an If, but it works yes You could use a winactivate with the rest of the code and see how it goes.
