ControlSetText

[EliTe_ThuT]

Hey,

I would like to know how we can send "enter" to an edit control. I'm using this to send new text to display in another window

ControlSetText("Window", "", "Edit1", $text)

But the text is all on one line...how can we send line breaks??

Thx

I am under the impression that ControlSetText changes the text in the title of a window. Meaning you /cant/ add breaks.

I don't know what an 'edit control' is, so I don't know what you're talking about, so I probably don't know what I'm talking about.

,,,...how can we send line breaks??...

$text2set = "This is sample text to be sent to notepad." & @CRLF & _
        "This is a second line to be set." & @CRLF & _
        "...and a third line."

Run("notepad")
WinWait("Untitled - Notepad")
WinActivate("Untitled - Notepad")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

ControlSetText("Untitled - Notepad", "", "Edit1", $text2set)

That is done with WinSetTitle ().
