JohnBailey Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I don't know how to search the forums using one character (eg : ) , so I started a thread. My apologies if this already exists. Mods can let me know and just remove this one. I'm wanting to figure out how to send : without having to use shiftdown shiftup. I tried send('{:}'), but that doesn't do the trick. I'm wanting to use this when sending file save locations. Doing something like this ControlSend("Save As", "" , "Edit1", "C:\temp\file.txt") is inconsistent and sometimes will type C;\temp\file.txt A decision is a powerful thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBailey Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 everybody has days like that man, no worries. thanks cameronsdad for the encouragement It's definitely one of those days I'm still getting the same issue which is totally odd. This is my exact script (striped down) $window = "Save As" ControlSend($window,"","Edit1","i"&chr(58)&"\Download files\testing") A decision is a powerful thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCreatoR Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 If you want to set text of “Save As” window, maby you can try like this (its faster i think): ControlSetText("Save As", "", "Edit1", "C:\temp\file.txt") Spoiler Using OS: Win 7 Professional, Using AutoIt Ver(s): 3.3.6.1 / 3.3.8.1 AutoIt Russian Community My Work...

I prefer SetText over Send for the speed reason AND that did it! I guess the speed was causing problems. I'd like to know why though.

I guess the speed was causing problems. I'd like to know why though.Any reason without seeing more code would just be a guess, but my guess would be that the save as window was still refreshing the explorer view when the Send() was executing and it missed the keystroke(s) because of that.
