Since it is the quite complex interface, i need to use controlid to choose the box. I am able to capture the contronid, but cannot send the data into it. Please advise.

The box i cannot send the text is under "TYPE", the controlid of it is 33005,

Pleasa advise. Thank you

if this is an emergency, and you can't work it out with the control functions, use Send and {TAB n} (n is the number of times to send Tab) to choose the control box. I've done this a few times too :"> , and I'm not disappointed.

this window also does not suppor the TAB, I tried, it messed up. (

[jvanegmond]

What do you mean, does not support Tab? If you press the tab-key on your keyboard, does it jump to the next control? If it doesn't you are dealing with a yet unknown control type, if it does you should rewrite your script so that it does work the way you expect it to.

Just as a side note, a script cannot mess up itself, only you can mess up a script.

, Yes, the tab key works when I press manually, but does not work when send("{TAB}")

[lod3n]

Can you control the window with just the keyboard? Like pressing Alt-UnderlinedLetter to focus on something and tab around?

Based on your dire description of the situation, it may be that it cannot easily be automated unless you use MouseClick commands, and trudge through it that way.

[bunny123]

yes, on app. itself, most of the implementation can be done by the keyboard, tab, alt_xx and enter , but when applying those keys to the script, do not work. Please advise what the problem is.

Thank you

Well, the problem is apparently that the program you are using was not designed with automation in mind, or was designed to subvert automation attempts.

There is probably a way to do it, but without access to the program in question, we can't do much.

Maybe there's some kind of checking in the program to make sure it has focus. Try this, put a sleep(5000) at the beginning of your script, then run it. Then Click on your application, right where the Send commands are trying to go, and keep your mouse in that location.

If it doesn't pick up the Sends that way, you just might be out of luck.

did you activate the windows (winactivate) before using send()??? Did you actually SEE that it was in front and had the input foucs?
