Write a "TAB" into an Input-box

[Fabi]

Hello everybody

I have a problem with writing a Tab into an Input. Is it possible to write a tab. I tried it with several functions. I have to create a textline with Tabs between but everytime i send it to the input it doesn't work. Here are the functions i tried:

ControlSetText ( "title", "text", controlID, "new text" & "{TAB}")

ControlSetText ( "title", "text", controlID, "new text" & {TAB} )

ControlCommand ( "title", "text", controlID, "TabRight", "" )

Has somebody an idea to solv my problem?

Thanks

Hi,

Have you tried it without the & in between the string and the tab key command.

You might also try using ControlSend

ControlSend ( "title", "text", controlID, "this is my text here {TAB} notice that you can use the tab command in the string and it gets sent as if the tab key was pushed" )

Not sure if ControlID's are the same on different machines (i assume they are ) but it should run notepad, wait 3 seconds then send that text to it where each line gets further indented with each TAB press

[cppman]

are u trying to tab to a different control like a button or the next input box or send a tab as in a big space?

..

if for a space then u could use @TAB.

if your using it to tab to another control.. the window you might be trying to tab on. might not accept tabs. not all windows do.

Thanks for zour suggestions

But the problem is that a Tab in the User-Interface means to go to an other element.

I solved the Problem with a routin that seems to be silly, but it works.

Here is the script:

ClipPut ("Tab" & " " & "Test")

$TESTTEXT=ClipGet()

ControlSetText("", "", 45, $TESTTEXT)

The Space between the two strings is a Tab. So In the User Interface appear little lines that are Tabs. When I copy the line and paste it into an Excel File it is seperated.

Thanks for all
