ControlSend not working as expected

[VeeDub]

Hello,

I'm trying to control / automate some steps with an application.

At the moment, I'm trying to use ControlSend to send the clicks, as I want to ensure that each "step" in my workflow is completed successfully, before proceeding to the next "step".

I will probably need to add some code to what I already have, to try and check that the expected window / dialog box has appeared.

Unfortunately, I've encountered an early problem with my code.

Local $bWndIsActive = False

    Do
        Local $hWnd = WinActivate("Macrium viBoot - Hyper-V")
        Sleep(1000)
        $bWndIsActive = WinActive($hWnd)
    Until ($bWndIsActive)

    Local $ControlSendStatus = ControlSend($hWnd,"","","^N")        ; Ctl-N
    ConsoleWrite("ControlSendStatus: " & $ControlSendStatus & @CRLF)

In the console: 

ControlSendStatus: 1

What actually happens is:

The application window is given focus.

But the window / dialog box that is supposed to appear when: Ctl-N is pressed

Does not.

I've also tried this version of the code

Local $bWndIsActive = False

    Do
        Local $hWnd = WinActivate("Macrium viBoot - Hyper-V")
        Sleep(1000)
        $bWndIsActive = WinActive($hWnd)
    Until ($bWndIsActive)

    Local $ControlSendStatus = ControlSend($hWnd,"","ToolbarWindow32","^N")     ; Ctl-N
    ConsoleWrite("ControlSendStatus: " & $ControlSendStatus & @CRLF)

And ControlSendStatus = 0

; Pauses execution of the script until the MacriumViboot window exists
Local $hWnd = WinWait("Macrium viBoot - Hyper-V")

;Then first activates (gives focus to) a MacriumViboot window
WinActivate($hWnd)

ConsoleWrite("$hWnd=" & $hWnd & @CRLF)

;and then send  "^n"   not  '^N' which is 'Ctrl Shift n'
Send("^n")

; and/or if you want to use the control,
; then you find the id (here in 1280 I put it in a blank because I don't know it)
; use the ToolBar tab of Au3Info to get the Command ID
;~ $ControlSendStatus  = ControlCommand($hWnd, "", "ToolbarWindow321", "SendCommandID", 1280)

; and/or if you want to use the menu,
; you have to find where to place the & (usually when we press alt this appears with an _ underscore below the letter)
; e.g. &New...  as  Ṉew
;~ WinMenuSelectItem($hWnd, "", "Virtual Machine", "&New...")

The issue with my code was the capital "N"

Thanks!
