ControlSend Error

[ChrisL]

in Autoit 3.2.10 and 3.2.11 controlsend doesn't just send the characters to the control but wipes out any data that was previously there.

This never used to be the case. I expect the string of data in the input box to be added to not wip[ed out on every button press.

This is a cut down version of the script to demonstrate the issue

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$keyboard = GuiCreate("Lab Setup", 700, 522,(@DesktopWidth-700)/2, (@DesktopHeight-522)/2 ,$WS_CAPTION, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)

GuiCtrlCreateLabel ("Phone Number:", 40, 147, 99, 40)
$Input_3 = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 140, 140, 340, 30,$ES_NUMBER)

Case Else
;This is the cunning bit that sets the Focus back to the last input box rather than the last button pressed

If not StringinStr (ControlGetFocus (""), "button") then $active = ControlGetFocus ( "")

EndSelect

WEnd

Func Pressed ($Key)

ControlFocus("","",$active)

ControlSend ("","",$active, $key ,0)

EndFunc

Sorry about this I was trying to find away around this and I have found that it is ControlFocus() that is wiping the data. If I use ControlClick() instead the data remains. When using ControlFocus() the data in the control gets highlighted this never used to happen

This is a bug in edit control focus and has been fixed in 3.2.11.1. It's not a bug in any Control* function so I'm resolving it as no bug. All the edit focus bugs are fixed in 3.2.11.1, however.

Thanks Valik
