alt-numbers don't work it seems

[jglazer]

Why if I do a

send("!0")

it doesn't send an alt-zero?

I also seem to be having issues with

send("{numpadadd"})

Thanks!

Did you try it out in a Notepad window?

Make AutoIt run Notepad ans send the keys.

So you can see if it works.

If you are sure it doesn't work, post the script so we can take a look.

What should Alt+0 combination be in your case???

My pc doesn't do much when i type Alt+0 .....

Depends on what he's sending it to. On an AS400, the entire keyboard can be changed to do whatever the user wants...be it type a character or run a script, execute a program, upload a file to the host, etc....

Besides, isn't it {altdown}{numpad0}{altup}?

hehe i did post the script. It's one line long. Well there's a sleep(3000) so i can get the the right window first

[SlimShady]

Ok.

First this line is incorrect.

send("{numpadadd"})

It should be:

send("{numpadadd}")

Second I suggest you use the following for Alt+0, like Blue_Drache said.

{altdown}{numpad0}{altup}

[jglazer]

send("{numpadadd"})

send("{numpadadd}")

Well that numpadadd thing was my typing mistake. Obviously autoit would have complained if I had actually typed that.

I'll give the alt+0 thing a try. I just thought adding a "!" to the front of things automatically did the alt. That seems to be how the help file reads anyhow. His way is pretty cumbersom.

Do I have to use {numpad0} if the button i want pressed is actually the zero button above the P?

[SlimShady]

I'm not sure. Try everything until it works like you want it.

[jglazer]

Tried

send("{ALTDOWN}0{ALTUP}")

And it pressed the ZERO button (no alt).

Any more ideas?

Maybe you can explain what the purpose of your program is?

Not sure why this would be of any use to fixing this since it either presses alt-zero or it doesn't but it's a game I am playing. I read the help file again and "!0" is really supposed to be interpretted as alt-0 but it simply aint happen'n.

You could re-assign the game's hotkey to something else and then re-program the AutoIt script accordingly. Edited February 22, 2005 by Blue_Drache

That doesn't fix AutoIt's ability to make this happen. IN addition, I have 9 other alt- buttons I want to use. alt-0 was just the first.

#region Annoying

then reprogram them all.

I'm so smart i looked at this and instantly new a solution, smart me.

autoit has the ability to make it happen you just dont have the ability to tell autoit to make it happen.

Ummm.... huh? How does this get autoit to hit alt-0? Or are we not interested in fixing this? Or maybe you don't consider this to be a problem? I already have a fix in place that doesn't involve hitting alt-0. This whole thread started to help the autoit programmers work out a potential issue.

WinActivate("Foo")
If WinWaitActive("Foo","",10) = 0 then
   MsgBox(0,"Error","Error.  Timeout on WinActivation",5)
   Exit
Else
   Send("!0",0) 
   Send("{altdown}0{altup}",0) 
   Send("!{numpad0}",0) 
   Send("{altdown}{numpad0}{altup}",0) 
EndIf

I received expected returns on the windows I sent those codes to. I've coded my AS400 to type out "ZERO WORKS" when typing the first two, and "NUMPADZERO WORKS" when typing the last two.

Re-check your code.

Post the script.

Do something.

WE'RE FLYING BLIND HERE!

Ok here's the script. Its very complex so sorry about that...

Sleep(8000)
Send("!0")

If you can follow it, you should see that I am trying to send alt-0 in the form of

"!0"

The initial delay is so I can switch windows.
