Send Problem in Step Debug

Post by Danerob » Thu Jan 05, 2006 10:55 pm

SetFocus>Untitled - Notepad
wait>.5
Send>abcdefgh

Works Ok when run, but not in F8 debug.

I get only “abcâ€Â

Maybe the focus is moving too quick. Try slowing down the send rate. Try this:

SetFocus>Untitled - Notepad
wait>.5
Let>SK_DELAY=10
Send>abcdefgh

Using version 7.4.009 on Win XP it works OK for me. I put in the entire alphabet then set SK_DELAY for 100 and it still works.

Is there more to your code or another program that might be stealing focus?

This solved the problem.

Thanks!
