Script question

[MyWish]

Hi every1.

Any1 could tell me what the command is if I'd like to write a script which can hold a button + press another one?

Like shift + f4?

Send() should work,just check the helpfile.

You could copy the text from the helpfile into a translator and just translate it to your native language, should be pretty close,at least close enough to get the basic idea.

I failed

so alt+f4 = Send("(ALT)"+"{F4}") its not working at all

Taken from the helpfile.

'!'

This tells AutoIt to send an ALT keystroke, therefore Send("This is text!a") would send the keys "This is text" and then press "ALT+a".

N.B. Some programs are very choosy about capital letters and ALT keys, i.e. "!A" is different to "!a". The first says ALT+SHIFT+A, the second is ALT+a. If in doubt, use lowercase!

'+'

This tells AutoIt to send a SHIFT keystroke, therefore Send("Hell+o") would send the text "HellO". Send("!+a") would send "ALT+SHIFT+a".

'^'

This tells AutoIt to send a CONTROL keystroke, therefore Send("^!a") would send "CTRL+ALT+a".

N.B. Some programs are very choosy about capital letters and CTRL keys, i.e. "^A" is different to "^a". The first says CTRL+SHIFT+A, the second is CTRL+a. If in doubt, use lowercase!

'#'

The hash now sends a Windows keystroke; therefore, Send("#r") would send Win+r which launches the Run dialog box.

thats cool thats cool but I want the special f4 key. I found this in the helpfile

Use Alt-key combos to access menu items. Also, open Notepad and try the following:

Send("!f") Send Alt+f, the access key for Notepad's file menu. Try other letters!

er alt command is ("!F) ?

No just the ! is the key for alt and not {ALT}. if you want to press alt+f4 then you need

Send("!{F4}")

[MyWish]

I have no more question

[dbzfanatic]

I have no more question

I have one for you,why do you need to close a window with alt+f4? What are you closing?

[MyWish]

Well it would be hard to explain this is a game and I rly need to close it in every 30 mins or so and then restart it. Is a script able to start a file from my desktop ?

Yes just use the Run() command but why would you need to restart the game?

[MyWish]

cause it freezes like hell ...

er could you gimme an example for instance I'd like the script to run the olimpia.exe from my desktop ?

[dbzfanatic]

Run("C:\Documents and settings\YourUsername\Desktop\olimpia.exe) ;xp
Run("C:\Users\YourUsername\Desktop\olimpia.exe") ;vista
