keep contents in fields

[willwatters]

I inserted text using the ControlSetText command, but when I tabbed over to a few screens and back to this screen, the data disappeared.

How do I keep the contents remaining in these fields so when I return to this screen I can view and edit the data?

Thanks

That is strange how an entry does disappear. Some input boxes of some programs do this, so you need to keep focus and complete the task. Or you could get Autoit to create a temp file to store your data until a suitable time to insert it all at once. Like an ini file perhaps?

If the data is disappearing, try this:

Type in some data yourself

Do the tabbing thing

Go back

See if it disappeared

Use ControlSend if ControlSetText doesn't work as expected.

may need to ControlFocus, then ControlSend...

Really? Is that necessary?
