Send("{a down}")

[bbq]

Suppose I have the following code:

WinWaitActive("Untitled -");
Send("{a down}");
Sleep(50000);
Send("{a up}");

That should wait until I have notepad as the active window and then hold a down for 50000 milliseconds, correct?

Unfortunately, I only get one a. My intention is to hold a key down in a game, and I of course tried it in game, but it had the same effect.

Am I missing something?

You're saying you want to hold down 'a' but you're only seeing 1 'a' being spit out? Did you actually want it held down, or did you want it pressed over and over? Try something like...

HotKeySet('{escape}', 'quit')

WinWaitActive("Untitled -")
While 1
    Send("a")
    Sleep(100)
WEnd


Func quit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>quit

Alright, I've figured it out. I asked the question on behalf of my friend who said it didn't work in game, and seeing it not work in notepad I believed him. However, it does work in game.

Sorry for the waste of time

How dare you waste my time. I spent all afternoon writing that.
