[Bug] ControlSend is broken in Vista

[yalag]

Hello, currently in vista, the following does not work:

ControlSend("App name", "", "", "{SPACE}")

it sends the space to your currently focused window instead, not the right app.

The same code works in xp tested.

Thanks

Only the Flag parameter is optional on ControlSend

ControlSend ( "title", "text", controlID, "string" [, flag] )

So, if the line of code that you posted works in XP, you are just lucky.

You must specify controlID in HelpFile example "Edit1"

What would the controlID be, if it is not a windows application, like a game for example?

If the ControlID does not show via the "AutoIt Window Info" tool, then you might not be able to use ControlSend reliably. Not all applications have controls. Some apps have non-standard controls. Non-standard controls may not work with ControlSend.

What is the best way to send a key to that application without controlid?

Without a doubt...using the keyboard.
