Elleric Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I am at a loss here. I have to send a capital V to the tera term window. Generally I prefer to use ControlSend() for this... just seems safer. Using the Send() method as below, i get the expected capital V... yay! WinActivate("Tera Term") Send("+v") But when i use the ControlSend() method as below, i get a lower case v... grrrr! WinActivate("Tera Term") ControlSend("Tera Term", "", "", "+v", 0) Id really like to use controlsend() for the added robustness but i cant for the life of me figure out why it keeps sending lower cases... is there some setting i am missing for the + to work? Thank you~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Look at the syntax for ControlSend() You are missing the ControlID George Question about decompiling code?

Zedna Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 There is know bug/limitation in Send/ControlSend with some national keyboard layouts (other than english). Behavoiur is exactly as you describe. I discovered this many years ago. There are some topics about that. Known workarounds are these: 1) use ControlSetText() instead of ControlSend() if possible 2) change keyboard layout to English before ControlSend() and revert it back after it Resources UDF ResourcesEx UDF AutoIt Forum Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elleric Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 As far as I know this is "undocumented" function: When ControlID is empty then control which has focus (in that window) is used. Yes, the correct window is being sent the data and it is being put in the correct place. The issue is just it's sending a lower case v rather than upper... here is something else a little goofy... If I open a new script and just put Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) WinActivate("Tera Term") ControlSend("Tera Term", "", "", "+v", 0) it works >< and makes me want to throw my computer out the window. Which is what lead me to thinking there was some setting that is being tripped. Currently the only other code being run is a UI bit I Imported. Related to one of the above posts, I am in the US, I'm fine with using a US keyboard at all times. How is that set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordBoling Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Rather than +v maybe try just a capitol V WinActivate("Tera Term") ControlSend("Tera Term", "", "", "V") Works in my scripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
