Having a `ding´ question

[Guest yiye]

I am a newer AutoIt v3 user.

I made a simple script that captures the Esc key and sends a keystroke to a MMBuilder program.

I tried it in two different PC´s and the script works fine doing what I want in both, but I heard some unwanted ding noise only in one of them, in the exactly moment the script is executed.

What am I doing wrong ?

Tanks in advance

Without seeing the script, we cannot help you.

Also, you may want to check the settings on the pc with the beep and compare it to one without the beep. There possibly is a setting that sends a beep on esc press.

here it is

;; Capture Esc, close an ONTOP running fotoshow.exe,

;; send keystroke `CTRL ALT m´to activate script of menu.mbd

HotKeySet("{ESCAPE}", "CaptureEsc")

;; wait Esc key

While 1

Sleep(200)

WEnd

Func CaptureEsc()

;; send Esc to close fotoshow.exe

HotKeySet("{ESCAPE}")

Send("{ESCAPE}")

Sleep(200)

;; activate menu.mbd window

WinActivate("menu", "")

;; send keystroke `CTRL ALT m´

Send("^!m")

Sleep(200)

Exit

EndFunc

I found out this:

running script, previous of send() command, if I touch the menu.mbd active screen area with the left button mouse, the ding disappear.

Looks like WinActivate isn`t enough (but it´s command works good, I proved it ) , That is only in one PC.

Both with the same W98SE 4.2222 spanish version

¡ I just proved it in a WXP spanish version and has the same problem !

I added some lines to script and solve my problem

It isn´t a clean solution

Someone have a different one ?.

solution

;; Capture Esc, close an ONTOP running fotoshow.exe,

;; send keystroke `CTRL ALT m´to activate script of menu.mbd

HotKeySet("{ESCAPE}", "CaptureEsc")

;; wait Esc key

While 1

Sleep(200)

WEnd

Func CaptureEsc()

;; send Esc to close fotoshow.exe

HotKeySet("{ESCAPE}")

Send("{ESCAPE}")

Sleep(200)

;; activate menu.mbd window

WinActivate("menu", "")

;; save mouse position, click on active window and return to default pos

$pos = MouseGetPos()

MouseClick ( "left", 600, 440 , 1 , 0)

MouseMove ( $pos[0], $pos[1], 0 )

;; send keystroke `CTRL ALT m´

Send("^!m")

Sleep(200)

Exit

EndFunc

Okay so the solution to your beep was using the mouse? I am not clear on why that is. :-/

Sorry I couldnt be of more use.
