trunc.ate Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I am using WinXP and as to the Function Reference BlockInput should work correctly. But I noticed that the use of BlockInput makes my scripts behave differently. Example: Just some lines to activate Internet Explorer and open the Options dialog AutoItSetOption ( "WinTitleMatchMode", 2 ) WinActivate ( "- Microsoft Internet Explorer" ) WinWaitActive("- Microsoft Internet Explorer") Send ( "!x" ) Send ( "o" ) Exit This works as long as I am not using BlockInput. When I preceed that with BlockInput (1) it somehow fails at the ALT-x step What's happening here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valik Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 BlockInput and the Alt key do not go well together. Jon said it was a bug in the OS, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trunc.ate Posted January 27, 2004 Author Share Posted January 27, 2004 BlockInput and the Alt key do not go well together. Jon said it was a bug in the OS, I believe. Darn, this makes BlockInput nearly useless for me, since my scripts are full of ALT key usages. I was just glad I finally made it to XP since 98 didn't support BlockInput at all and now there's a drawback again.Is there any workaround? I hesitate to embrace each Send command that uses the Alt key with a BlockInput (0) and BlockInput (1)...on the other hand...Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSlug Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 You can wrap the command in a user-defined function. _Send("!x") _Send("o") Exit Func _Send($keys) BlockInput(0) Send($keys) BlockInput(1) EndFunc Or something like that.

trunc.ate Posted January 27, 2004 Author Share Posted January 27, 2004 A user defined function (included) is a good idea. It doesn't seem do slow things down so I can live with that ...until the next XP-hotfix*lol* Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem do slow things down so I can live with that ...until the next XP-hotfix*lol* Thanks It could be something Microsoft meant to do as it's not fixed in SP-2 Beta 1. I've not seen any information on this other than what Jon has said, though, so if anybody has anything else, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 It iused to work perfectly on XP but a recent hotfix broke it Do you know which hotfix, Jon? There was one that was just removed from the server because of some problems and most MS patches now allow a rollback. If you have a number for the patch I'll see what I can find out for you.

Administrators Jon Posted January 27, 2004 Administrators Share Posted January 27, 2004 No idea. By the time someone had reported the problem my system was already updated. And I've only installed the "critical" patches so it wouldn't be the sort of thing you would want to uninstall anyway Deployment Blog: https://www.autoitconsulting.com/site/blog/ SCCM SDK Programming: https://www.autoitconsulting.com/site/sccm-sdk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
