Hi, Send Question

[PoopDeck]

Hi is it possible to have Send key Send instantly instead of simulated. or is there another function that does the same.

Like for example,

Send("hi, Whatsup")

Send("{enter}")

It types out the letters, is it possible for it to just put it out there as though it were being copied and pasted.

if all else fails that's what ill have to do.

And im sending to an aim window.

This is the only Way I know how to do it:

Use Autoit Window info Tool to get The control to interact with. Edit1 is for notepad

Run("notepad.exe")
WinWait("Untitled -")
ControlSetText("Untitled -", "", "Edit1", "New Text Here" )

Check out ControlSend in help file it should have what you need I believe

Well... you could use:

ClipPut("hi, Whatsup")

Send("^v)

that way it will be written instantly...

Opt("SendKeyDelay") is also an option

Good Luck

Thank you all very much for the replies.

You will only get near-instant speeds using Send even after changing the speed. It has to press the key, release the key, then press the next, release it, etc. You will get a pause of a small (should be hard to measure) amount. Also the speed of the application is important. Some programs use custom text areas that don't draw as quickly.

ControlSend will send keystrokes directly to the control, but still has the same delays associated with send

Look into Controlsettext(), using the "Autoit Window info" tool to find the required control IDs.

Or

Clipput("Automated AIM message")

send("^v")
