General ControlSend text+Enter question

[longxx]

hi, when I tried to use Controlsend to send text+Enter to window,

ControlSend("XXX", "", "", "hello{ENTER}")

I noticed ControlSend("XXX", "", "", "hello{ENTER}")

sometimes can not send complete sentense, it seems like the computer presses the {ENTER} before the text string is finished,

when I do ControlSend("XXX", "", "", "hello") + sleep(100) + ControlSend("XXX", "", "", "{ENTER}") it is fine always

is this a AutoIt's controlsend bug problem? or my computer problem? or when we do text+ENTER it's always like this?

any other get around for long text input?

thanks.

I don't know exactly why this is happening but you could try:

ControlSend("XXX", "", "", "hello"&@CRLF)

maybe this will work for you.

can someone tell me what is @CRLF? thanks.

can someone tell me what is @CRLF? thanks.

It stands for Carriage Return/Line Feed. Essentially it is a character representing a new line.
