SendKeepActive doesn't work with version 3.3.16.1 - (Moved)

[Lobico]

I have updated AutoIt from version 3.3.14 to 3.3.16.1, and SendKeepActive doesn't keep active the window while I use Send command. Can someone help me with this issue? Thanks in advance

Moved to the appropriate AutoIt General Help and Support forum, as the Developer General Discussion forum very clearly states:

Would help when  you show the script and an proper explanation of the issue! 😉

Good morning,

The code was working properly and since I install the version 3.3.16.1, it began to fail.

WinActivate("Sin título: Bloc de notas")
SendKeepActive("Sin título: Bloc de notas")
If WinExists("Sin título: Bloc de notas")=1 Then
    Send("pepe")
EndIf
Sleep(4000)
If WinExists("*Sin título: Bloc de notas")=1 Then
    Send("pepe")
EndIf
Sleep(4000)
If WinExists("*Sin título: Bloc de notas")=1 Then
    Send("pepe")
EndIf
SendKeepActive("")

I have put sleep between send to change the window manually, and it doesn't returns focus on "Sin título: Bloc de notas".

If I generate the executable file in 3.3.14, I don't have any problem.

Thanks in advance Jos

Think your title changed after the first send, as you have also changed in the WinExists() function:

Quote

SendKeepActive("Sin título: Bloc de notas")
If WinExists("Sin título: Bloc de notas")=1 Then
    Send("pepe")
EndIf
Sleep(4000)
If WinExists("*Sin título: Bloc de notas")=1 Then
    Send("pepe")
EndIf

So try as it is done in the example provided by the helpfile and use the class like this which works fine:

Run("notepad.exe")

; Wait max 10 seconds for the Notepad window to appear.
Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)

; Keep the Notepad window active when using the Send function.
SendKeepActive("[CLASS:Notepad]")

If WinExists("[CLASS:Notepad]") Then
    Send("pepe")
EndIf
Sleep(4000)
If WinExists("[CLASS:Notepad]") Then
    Send("pepe")
EndIf
Sleep(4000)
If WinExists("[CLASS:Notepad]") Then
    Send("pepe")
EndIf
SendKeepActive("")

I think even better could be (not tested just idea!)

Run("notepad.exe")

; Wait max 10 seconds for the Notepad window to appear.
Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10)

; Keep the Notepad window active when using the Send function.
SendKeepActive($hWnd)

If WinExists($hWnd) Then
    Send("pepe")
EndIf
Sleep(4000)
If WinExists($hWnd) Then
    Send("pepe")
EndIf
Sleep(4000)
If WinExists($hWnd) Then
    Send("pepe")
EndIf
SendKeepActive("")

Thanks, both codes works properly if you run them in debug. But they doesn't work with build file. I don't know if the problem is the configuration of compiler.

I add a screenshot of the compiler.

After you run the file, if you change the active window, it doesn't return to "Notepad"
