Need help with CTRL

Post by gjones0316 » Tue Jul 26, 2005 3:32 am

Hi, I apparently have a stubborn application I'm trying to use Macro Scheduler with. There's a particular screen where I need to execute a CTRL-down arrow. Here's the syntax I'm using:

Press CTRL
Wait>1
Press Down
Wait>1
Release CTRL

When I play back, my application doesn't seem to recognize the CTRL - I've read about the issues with Citrix and using the CTRL key, so I tried setting the variable SK_LEGACY=1, but no luck there.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Perhaps it wants specifically the right control key or the left one:

Press LCTRL
Press Down
Release LCTRL

Or

Press RCTRL
Press Down
Release RCTRL

Yes, thanks I tried LCTRL and RCTRL and couldn't get those to work either. (scratching head...)

I am quite a beginner but i already encountered trouble with Ctrl ; nothing good with LCtrl ; try rather somme Wait and if possible add before PRESS UP ; PRESS DOWN
