Guest endlessly Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Ok, I must be blind or something^^ I looked in the AutoIt help files. Under Keyboard controls, it shows how you can send keystrokes such as ALT, CTRL, TAB, etc. but... How do you send "q" or "a" ? I tried Send ( "Q" ); and the same for A, but they did not work. Sorry for the newbie question:) I hope to learn how to use this program. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzetabi Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Send("A") does not works? Strange... Can you show a scrap of your code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randd Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) I tried Send ( "Q" );Send("Q"); Will work. Send("Q") Will work. ; starts a comment but isn't needed at the end of a command. You need to send the Q to something though. You might be sending Q to no particular application and will not see a result. Try looking over the help file and do this: Run("Notepad.exe", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE) WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad", "") --put your send command here -- Not sure if that was your problem or not. Can you post your sample code. Edited August 6, 2004 by randd Raoul S. Duke: Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop-heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow.

Thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>do try what they've suggested, send it to a notepad window to test... but, you might care that "Q" is different than "q". "Q" sends shift+q... If you're sending to something that cares, it might matter. "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" -Dante (Hicks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
