Send not working

[fstoll]

Hi,

I have a (hopefully) simple issue to resolve. The Send command is not working in my scripts. I've tried it with different keys, etc., but it's as if the send command is not in the code. The dialog box brought up from the previous line just sits there waiting. For example, here is a snippet from the included WinZip tutorial in the help file. Nothing happens at the send command.

Run("winzip90.exe")

WinWaitActive("WinZip® 9.0 SR-1 Setup", "&Setup")

Send("!s")

OS is Vista and UAC is turned off.

Thanks for looking.

My guess is that your script is hanging at WinWaitActive. Here is what you can do:

- put Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) on top of your script (looks to match any substring from the title)

- use a shorter title ("Setup" or "WinZip" or anything else significant)

also

Put Opt ("TrayIconDebug", 1) on top of your script so you can see which line is executed (where the script hangs)

The WinZip installer contacts the internet prior to starting the installation. I suspect that it is active well before you see the GUI so the send command is happening too soon. Try putting a 5 second wait after WinWaitActive().

Run("winzip90.exe")
WinWaitActive("WinZip® 9.0 SR-1 Setup", "&Setup")
Sleep(5000)
Send("!s")

Try the following code to see if it is the send command or somthing else:

Run( "notepad.exe" )
sleep(3000)
Send("Hello World!")
