InputBox and ControlSend

[Guest cxxl-t]

$initial = InputBox ( "Konfiguration", "Bitte geben Sie nun Ihr Passwort ein:", "", "*")

;msgbox (0,"DebugPrint", $initial)
WinActive ( "Unbenannt" )
ControlSend("Unbenannt","","Edit1", $initial & @CR,1)

When I type the Chars: 'ABC@abc%' AutoIT will send following to notepad: 'abcqabc5'.

The MsgBox shows the right Chars.

Is this a Bug? Is there a Workaround?

Thx 4 your help.

Seems here is a lot of troubles with the send functions on the non-english layouts. I suppose that you default keyboard layout is not english? And you system is 2k/xp? Try to set it to english before using send functions... is this works?

I tried this and sends correctly.

$initial = 'ABC@abc%'
WinwaitActive ( "Untitled - Notepad" )
ControlSend( "Untitled - Notepad", "", "Edit1", $initial & @CR, 1)

Result:

ABC@abc%

Try this exact same test, you may need to change the title to suit your language.

I am using Autoit v3.1.09.

Here is not problem with title. If I'm try to send this string with english layout set as default (actually I always have set this in english, but many people don't...) that no any problem with func, and I have "ABC@abc%" in notepad.

But if I'm set my default layout in the non-english, that result of ControlSend function is absolutely unpredictable! For example, couple minutes ago when I test your code I got result "ABC~~E~ %"! Today at job result was different.

So I suspect cxxl-t have the same problem.
