Send("{ASC - not working ?

[giovanigonzales 0]

hello all,

tried a very basic script, but seems I cant even send a simple ASCII character, when I push the hotkey, nothing hapens

notice I tried the very example from here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/Send.htm - Send("{ASC 065}")

any sugestion please?

thanks

AutoIt version: 3.2.10.0

OS: Win XP SP2

this is the script:

HotKeySet("!^y", "MyFunc")

While 1

Sleep(100)

WEnd

Func MyFunc()

Send("{ASC 065}")

Send("{ASC 066}")

Send("{ASC 65}")

Send("{ASC 66}")

EndFunc

From Helpfile -> Send:

{ASC nnnn} Send the ALT+nnnn key combination

you need 4 digits, i.e. {ASC 0065}

(sorry, can't test right now)

[giovanigonzales 0]

Send("{ASC 0065}")

Send("{ASC 0066}")

dosent work either...

I just tested the single line

Send("{ASC 0066}")

In my scite and it print out B

Try to just enter this simple line and then run it by pushing F5 (in SciTE)

well, Send("{ASC - it works, thanks

the problem is with the Control key. I can assign hotkeys that include Alt, Shift and Windows key, but not with Control key

so

HotKeySet("!y", "MyFunc") - works

HotKeySet("+y", "MyFunc") - works

HotKeySet("#y", "MyFunc") - works

HotKeySet("^y", "MyFunc") - doesnt work !

any idea why?

HotKeySet("^y", "Terminate") works for me

got latest beta?

I just edited the example:

Does it work for you?

CODE

; Press Esc to terminate script, Pause/Break to "pause"

Global $Paused

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")

HotKeySet("^y", "Terminate")

HotKeySet("+!d", "ShowMessage") ;Shift-Alt-d

;;;; Body of program would go here ;;;;

While 1

Sleep(100)

WEnd

;;;;;;;;

Func TogglePause()

$Paused = NOT $Paused

While $Paused

sleep(100)

ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)

WEnd

ToolTip("")

EndFunc

Func Terminate()

Exit 0

EndFunc

Func ShowMessage()

MsgBox(4096,"","This is a message.")

EndFunc

Hi! About the non-working ^y :

- Make sure you don't have another script still running that also used the same hotkey,

check the tray (happened to me this afternoon while testing another script !)

Thanks, it works

however, the weird thing is, when I replace "Exit 0" with "Send("{ASC 0066}")", it doesnt work!

or

HotKeySet("^y", "Terminate")

Func Terminate()

Send("{ASC 0066}")

EndFunc

but....

HotKeySet("!y", "Terminate") - works

I just installed beta - 3.2.11.0, and its the same thing

@whim: I checked that, also tried with another keys (^j, ^k etc) - its the same

I am sorry for this, its either a very weird thing here or.... maybe i'm veeery wrong somewhere

Send("{ASC 0066}") <- dosn´t work for me either

Try this, works for me:

CODE

Func Terminate()

$y = Chr(0065)

ConsoleWrite($y)

Send($y)

EndFunc

It works, many thanks!

anyways, seems there is a bug using send asc when using Control key, shall I report it?
