Send() from INI file

[nitekram]

This does not happen every single time, but does happen about 40%. Happens all the time if you press the SHIFT before the ALT key

I press the hotkey and it sends its info to notepad (must be open first - by end user) - but after you scip a line or two the first character of the first key is missing - I put a sleep in to see if it helped, but it did not.

Does anyone know if I did something wrong?

Here is the ini file

[Reader]
1= Reader is not working
2= When client presents cards the reader is not beeping - stays RED

[Camera]
1= Camera is not working
2= Cam #  is not working - color of monitor =

[Access]
1= Access Control is not working
2= Client is not able to access the door located - 

[Gate]
1= Gate is not working
2= Gate is not performing - issue is with gate #  - the issue is

EDIT - further testing shows that it happens all the time if the SHIFT key is hit before the ALT key

maybe...

Send($vReader[$i][1] & @CR, 1)

where the "1" states to send "Raw"

???

That does not work - but I found what I was doing, but how do I fix it.

The hotkey is set for ALT - SHIFT - 'letter' - if I press SHIFT - ALT - 'letter' - it still works but misses the first letter of the first key. Is there a fix for this?

MODS - can this be looked at as a BUG - I can make it happen 100% of the time if I hit SHIFT first in my code followed by the ALT then the letter.

In other hotkeys like CTRL ALT DEL you can hit either the ALT or CTRL first and get the command to work - but not hit DEL first.

Also I tried to switch the hotkey to SHIFT - ALT - 'letter' and use MS Word - it looses even more characters.

EDIT - Or maybe there needs to be documentation for the use of these - maybe it is not possible?

do you really expect the "MODS" to read every thread?? Write some sample code that shows the possible bug and post in the "v3 Bug Reports" forum.
