ControlSend....Problem sending Shift keys.....

[hispeed_mike]

Hi all,

Problem using ControlSend it send all keys in lowercase...Have read about the ControlSendPlus but cannot download as the ftp site specified won't just accept the login details pekster specified (not from IE of Firefox.)

Anyway can some one who has the script please send it to me so I can try that....

Here is a snippet of the script for ControlSend

Run(@ComSpec)

Sleep(4000)

ControlSendPlus("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", "", "", "h{SHIFTDOWN}el{SHIFTUP}p{ENTER}")

Have tried it like this also

Run(@ComSpec)

Sleep(4000)

ControlSendPlus("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", "", "", "h+e+lp{ENTER}")

It picks the enter up but no the shift

Much Appreciated.

Mike

Hi Mike.

The following sends 'HELp' to the prompt for me. (Note: I'm in partition 'I', thus the "I:\WINDOWS..."

#include "ControlSendPlus.au3"

Run(@ComSpec)
Sleep(500)
ControlSendPlus("I:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", "", "", "+h+e+lp",0)

And here is udf by pekster.
