Single Key Repeated Not Working

[SkysLastChance]

I must be missing something. I have had this problem multiple times. Why does F6 key not send 6 times?  

Not working 

ControlSend("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "", ("{F6 6}"))

Working

ControlSend("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "", ("{F6}"))
      ControlSend("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "", ("{F6}"))
      ControlSend("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "", ("{F6}"))
      ControlSend("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "", ("{F6}"))
      ControlSend("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "", ("{F6}"))
      ControlSend("[CLASS:#32770]", "", "", ("{F6}"))

You haven't specified a Control you want to send the key to.

Should work, even without a control, I tested it on notepad.  Only reason I could think is you dont have focus on the right window.

BTW parenthesis are useless.  But it is not the problem

If you do not specify a Control, which Control gets the keys I send? The first, the active one ...?
Haven't found anything in the help file (but I'm old and blind )

Maybe the repetitive keys are being sent so quickly that the application cannot recognize or process them.  The default value for the SendKeyDelay is 5 ms.  You could try adjusting the delay to something a little more human-like, maybe:

Opt('SendKeyDelay', 200)            ; Default = 5 milliseconds

[CLASS:#32770] seems to me like message box or an input box (could be a save file box by the use of F6).  So there should be only one at a time (normally).

Not a bad idea but I trust the keys sent by controlsend are all buffered.  But worth a try.
