To work around this, use WinMenuSelectItem. If the target control is an Edit control (or something similar), the following are usually more reliable and faster than ControlSend: Control, EditPaste, This text will be inserted at the caret position., ControlName, WinTitle ControlSetText, ControlName, This text will entirely replace any current text., WinTitleĬontrolSend is generally not capable of manipulating a window's menu bar. If the target window does not receive the keystrokes reliably, try increasing the press duration via the second parameter of SetKeyDelay as in these examples: SetKeyDelay, 10, 10 The value of SetKeyDelay determines the speed at which keys are sent. This is because it might prevent capitalization and modifier keys such as Ctrl from working properly. The method above also allows the sending of modifier keystrokes (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, and Win) while the workstation is locked (protected by logon prompt).īlockInput should be avoided when using ControlSend against a console window such as command prompt. RemarksĬontrolSendRaw sends the keystrokes in the Keys parameter without translating, Untitled - Notepad For more information, see Runtime Errors.ĮrrorLevel is set to 1 if there was a problem or 0 otherwise. : This command is able to throw an exception on failure.

Windows whose text include this value will not be considered.

Windows whose titles include this value will not be considered. Hidden text elements are detected if DetectHiddenText is ON. If present, this parameter must be a substring from a single text element of the target window (as revealed by the included Window Spy utility). WinTitleĪ window title or other criteria identifying the target window. Unlike the Send command, mouse clicks cannot be sent by ControlSend. The rate at which characters are sent is determined by SetKeyDelay. The sequence of keys to send (see the Send command for details). The HWND of a control is typically retrieved via ControlGet Hwnd, MouseGetPos, or DllCall(). To operate upon a control's HWND (window handle), leave the Control parameter blank and specify ahk_id %ControlHwnd% for the WinTitle parameter (this also works on hidden controls even when DetectHiddenWindows is Off). If this parameter is ahk_parent, the keystrokes will be sent directly to the target window instead of one of its controls (see Automating Winamp for an example). If this parameter is blank or omitted, the target window's topmost control will be used. When using text, the matching behavior is determined by SetTitleMatchMode. ControlSend, Control, Keys, WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeTextĬontrolSendRaw: Same parameters as above.Ĭan be either ClassNN (the classname and instance number of the control) or the control's text, both of which can be determined via Window Spy. Sends simulated keystrokes to a window or control.

I am using a similar script with GamePadZoo (with SendInput instead of ControlSend), and it's sending the keystrokes fine using these delays (I had too many issues with SetKeyDelay). I just can't figure out why it's not sending anything in between (this works in other windows such as a text editor).
