Ctrl Esc combination for ControlSend


Recommended Posts

I can't see how to simulate the Windows Key. If I type (on the keyboard) Ctrl Esc it works, but ControlSend( '^{ESC}' ) doesn't.

What should I be doing?

Yes, what I meant was

ControlSend($SomeWindow,'','','^{ESC}') doesn't work.

but you're right anyway, Send does what I want but ControlSend doesn't.

Thanks Valuator.

ControlSend() requires a control ID. You can default the Win title and text with "", but the default ControlID (last used) is -1. So that would be:

ControlSend($SomeWindow,'',-1,"^{ESC}")

That will still not pop the Windows Key menu, of course, since you are sending that key combo to a particular control, vice the desktop.

:shocked:
