Newest Send()

[nitekram]

I have looked and cannot locate the send that works...Send() works but I thought someone had wrote a different one. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

First question why doesn't the native Send work you? Provide (simple) reproducible code to display the error/issue you're experiencing.

Like when you use alt shift in a hot key and try to use your keyboard after the function completes it does not allow you to highlight text like the shift button is on all the time - right now I am using a really old version, as I do not have the install function available on this computer so ran a mobile application version that I found - the newest version of AutoIT my be what I need, just do not have access to it right now.

As it is when I use this it I have to quit the autoit app and also quit scite.

AutoIT version 3.3.8.1

; Press Esc to terminate script, Pause/Break to "pause"
Global $Paused

While 1
Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func TogglePause()
$Paused = Not $Paused
While $Paused
Sleep(100)
ToolTip('Script is "Paused"', 0, 0)
WEnd
ToolTip("")
EndFunc ;==>TogglePause

Func Terminate()
Exit 0
EndFunc ;==>Terminate

Func ShowMessage()
;MsgBox(4096, "", @AutoItVersion)

_SenEx() was what I was looking for - thanks again!!!

Where did you see that?

I cannot find it.

Where did you see that?

I cannot find it.

It's a function in the wiki FAQ link I posted.

Cheers bud.

The reason I asked nitekram was you were a little vague with your problem. Once you had explained then I would have have suggested _SendEx too.

[nitekram]

Got an issue with _SendEX() - it appears that it does not always send the first char of the string. Does or has anyone else seen this?

Try tweaking these options:

#include <Misc.au3>
$cursordelay= 15; delay moving string parsing cursor 1 2 um 12, in millseconds
$holddowndelay= 15; hold each key in string this meny millseconds, may include additional sales tax
$x= "Hello World!"

opt("SendKeyDelay", $cursordelay)
opt("SendKeyDownDelay", $holddowndelay)
_sendEx($x, 1)

func _SendEx($ss, $raw= 0);when this function is called control, shift, and alt must be released before $ss keys are sent
    while _ispressed("10") Or _ispressed("11") Or _ispressed("12")
      sleep(50);feed the cpu 50 milliseconds
    wend
    send($ss, $raw)
EndFunc; end _SendEx

I used to experience the problem you are having not sure how I fixed it. It might have been this additional code.
