WaitKeyDown doesn't work

zopita · Post by **zopita** » Thu Feb 24, 2011 2:39 pm

I need to use WaitKeyDown command but I have problems. I tried with keys "complex" (106, buttonleft for example) and also keys simple as x. The macro stops, but it doesnt work when I press the key.

I write code like this:

WaitKeyDown>VK106
WaitKeyDown>x

I have seen that there are enough questions on this subject but I have not found an answer. Â¿Can you help me?

Â¡Thanks!

Does the following work for you?

Code: Select all

message>With focus on this window press%CRLF%        AND HOLD%CRLF%%CRLF%%tab%a
WaitKeyDown>a
mdl>%CRLF%%CRLF%%CRLF%%tab%a%CRLF%%CRLF%       Was pressed

Hi JRL,

Your code (as WaitKeyDown) works sometimes. I reinstalled Macro Scheduler but I still have problems. If I can fix the macro I'm telling you.

Thank you very much for your reply

Win XP, Macro Scheduler 11/01/1912 (both legal)

Hi JRL,

I've done. I must to press more time. I chose the right arrow key because it is "invisible. "
Here you can see my first trial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZEHTf42EEY. It is made with Word + MacroScheduler + CamStudio. Thanks for your help.

Another question. If the Send command contains accented characters (very common in Spanish) returns the ascii code. For example, for "pÃ¡rrafo" I have to write:

Send>p
ascii>225
send>rrafo

because the command

Send>pÃ¡rrafo returns p225rrafo

Paradoxically, the most special Spanish character (Ã±) works correctly:

send>moÃ±oÃ±o returns moÃ±oÃ±o

I would be happy if I could avoid using the command ascii>

Thanks again (and thanks to Google translator ...)

Gloria

I don't know why the accented chars aren't working for you. This works fine for me:

SetFocus>notepad*
Send>pÃ¡rrafo

If I open Notepad and run that script then pÃ¡rrafo gets correctly written into the Notepad window. Accented and unicode characters are supported in Macro Scheduler.

But which version are you running? Maybe you have an older version?

I'm running MacroScheduler 11.1.12. I tried it with an older version (6.2.3e) and works properly.

Maybe it's a Bill Gates joke... I will use ascii command.

Thanks, Marcus.
