Send("{ASC - not working ?

[giovanigonzales]

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]

Send("{ASC 0065}")

Send("{ASC 0066}")

dosent work either...

[Shevilie]

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?

[Kademlia]

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 !)

[giovanigonzales]

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

[Kademlia]

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?

[Hawk]

Can confirm the bug that Send("{ASC XXXX}") does not work with hotkeys (I'm using "^!v" (Ctrl + Alt + v)) for the first character in the function.

I can do Send("a" & "{ASC XXXX}") and the ASC will print! But not if the ASC is at the beginning of Send function.

I use the workaround of Kademlia now, avoid ASC and use Chr function to input ASCII characters.
