Can I send keys like {ENTER} or {TAB} or "!a" etc by using ControlSend()?

Can I send keys like {ENTER} or {TAB} or "!a" etc by using ControlSend()?

I want to navigate through different screens so let me know if I can do that.

ControlSend works in a similar way to Send...and yes it does send shift, ctrl, alt etc.

[KaFu]

Can I do controlsend based on object ID?

ControlSend ( "title", "text", controlID, "string" [, flag] )

You can obtain the Title and controlID with the AU3Info Tool (Au3InfoA.exe) located in the au3 install dir.

Best Regards

Whats the significance of flag "0" and "1".

I tried that but it didn't work.

ControlSend("CommandCentral", "Next", 3668, "{ENTER}", 0)

ControlSend("CommandCentral", "Next", 3668, "{ENTER}", 0)

0 is you want to send special text like SHIFT, ALT and other like this.

1 is if you want to send raw text.

ControlSend("CommandCentral", "Next", 3668, "{ENTER}", 0)

Here I am trying to send Enter to Next button, why it is not happening?

[KaFu]

The syntax looks right, so I guess the control can not be found. If

msgbox(0,"",ControlSend("CommandCentral", "Next", 3668, "{ENTER}", 0)) gives you a 0 that's the case.

Maybe try

ControlSend("CommandCentral", "&Next", 3668, "{ENTER}", 0)

or

ControlSend("CommandCentral", "", 3668, "{ENTER}", 0)

The second parameter "Text" is not used to find the control, but it is used to find the window. Entering "Next" there will cause it to fail to find the window.

ControlSend("CommandCentral", "", 3668, "{ENTER}")

Tried those things guys, still not!

[KaFu]

The control might first need to be given focus with the ControlFocus command, specially when referencing an controlID created by the script itself.

?

Try removing all references to a specific program from your ControlSend()

IE:ControlSend("NotePad","","","TestTest")

I've had a few video games I was making bots for that didn't have controls to get, and the command still works without it.

[Abhay]

For notepad its easy as we are just sending text. What I want to accomplkish here is that there is a button next, I want to send ENTER to it to go to the next screen.

Any idea?

ControlClick("CommandCentral", "", "Button11")

I guess you could try ControlSend(), but why? ControlClick() is the usual way to click a button control.

ControlClick("CommandCentral", "", "Button11") <----------------- This doesn't work, did you try it at your end?

[PsaltyDS]

ControlClick("CommandCentral", "", "Button11") <----------------- This doesn't work, did you try it at your end?

I have used ControlClick() many times, yes. But I don't know what "CommandCentral" is, so I couldn't test it in that context. What is the app you are working with?
