String sent...right/wrong?

[olo]

Hey folks,

Im trying to send a string to a file box then click open, to open that file.

So I want to send a path like "C:Usersdesktopfile.olo etc

But sometimes the keyboard rushes it I presume as it can be seen sometimes as

C;userdsahfaoahf.oafo or something mad like that. So the program essentially got it wrong

if displays an error box once open is clicked...obviously.

But would can I includ in the bottom code to: Print an error and then restart the function all over again?

If (ControlSend("[TITLE:" & $ExternalTitle & "]", "", "Edit1", $file)) Then

        ControlClick("[TITLE:" & $ExternalTitle & "]", "&Open", "Button2", "left", 1)
        Sleep(500)
    Else
        ACRAOutputError("Function timed out while trying to load the file!")
    EndIf

Have you tried AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", x)? Put this at the top of your script (where x = the number of milliseconds between key presses). It may help slow things down a bit for you.

what about controlsettext, get away for them limitations of sends.

AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", 100)
AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDownDelay", 100)
ControlSend("Untitled - Notepad", "", 15, "some data 1")
ControlSetText("Untitled - Notepad", "", 15, "another data set")
