[mlloz]

whats wrong with this code?

$title = 'Device Manager'
Run(@SystemDir & '\mmc.exe ' &  @SystemDir & '\devmgmt.msc', @SystemDir)
ProcessWait('mmc.exe')
WinActivate($title)
WinWaitActive($title)
WinMove($title, '', 50, 20, @DesktopWidth - 100, @DesktopHeight - 100)
Sleep(2000)
Send('!vw{TAB}*{TAB}{HOME}')

its working but the asterisk doesnt, why?

[DW1]

Send("*", 1)

[mlloz]

still not working..

[DW1]

what version are you running, that worked for me just fine ( I tested it )

[mlloz]

v3.2.4.9

[mikehunt114]

Try:

Send("!vw{TAB}{*}{TAB}{HOME}", 1)

[mlloz]

lol

the send command doesn't work at all..

[DW1]

LOL, You should not have said "its working but the asterisk doesnt, why?" then

What is this script supposed to do?

EDIT: Where do you want to send the text?

[mlloz]

$title = 'Device Manager'

at 'Device Manager' window, to expand the devices list..

[DW1]

what is the "w" for? after you goto the View menu via Alt-v

[mlloz]

w: show hidden devices..

the problem just in asterisk everything else is working good..

[DW1]

$title = 'Device Manager'
Run(@SystemDir & '\mmc.exe ' &  @SystemDir & '\devmgmt.msc', @SystemDir)
ProcessWait('mmc.exe')
WinActivate($title)
WinWaitActive($title)
WinMove($title, '', 50, 20, @DesktopWidth - 100, @DesktopHeight - 100)
Sleep(2000)
Send('!vw{tab}')
For $times = 1 to 20
    Send("{Down}")
Next
For $times = 1 to 20
    Send("{Right}{Up}")
Next

Works

EDIT: What is the "*" for then

Edited July 20, 2007 by danwilli

[mlloz]

well, it takes time to complete..

really why it doesn't work with '*'

[DW1]

Got it

$title = 'Device Manager'
Run(@SystemDir & '\mmc.exe ' &  @SystemDir & '\devmgmt.msc', @SystemDir)
ProcessWait('mmc.exe')
WinActivate($title)
WinWaitActive($title)
WinMove($title, '', 50, 20, @DesktopWidth - 100, @DesktopHeight - 100)
Sleep(2000)
Send('!vw{tab}{NUMPADMULT}') ; "*" will not work because the key you are looking for is "multiply"

EDIT: * = shift 8
