Can't send the word tab with Send Character/Text

Post by Rain » Sat Dec 09, 2006 2:02 pm

Macro Scheduler 8.1 Registered

When trying to send the word "Tab" with "Send Character/Text>" the tab key gets pressed, this is not the case when I use "Ascii>". Is there a variable that can be set that tells Macro Scheduler to send the word tab and not the press the tab key?

SetFocus>Notepad*
Send Character/Text>Tab
Press Enter
Ascii>84,97,98

If this was discussed in another topic please point me to it.

Thanks,
Rain

Hi Rain,

Use VAREXPLICIT

SetFocus>Notepad*
Let>VAREXPLICIT=1
Send Character/Text>Tab
Let>VAREXPLICIT=0
Press Enter
