In this particular software, ControlSend never sends {Enter} to Button1.

Even tried to use arrow to focus on correct button. Tried to use ControlFocus on Button1.

 

Although, arrow and enter are sent. But Enter never goes to Button1.

 

Can someone please explain why is it that in some programs ControlSend doesn't work ? And how can i make it work ? 

 

Someone pls help.

Maybe the window has a Default button which captures any {Enter} sent to the window?
Have you tried ControlClick?
If that doesn't work, post the code you have tried.

That's ControlClick not mouseclick. Why is it not ideal?

To post an image you will need to upload it to an image sharing site like imgur and post a link.

Hi Kon,

 

ControlClick works just fine. As i am new to ahk and coding in general, apprehensive about mouse clicks in macros. You can say that it is lack of my knowledge on how ControlClick works (that it never misses the control mentioned in controlclick command).

 

My keyboard based experience is that i have never seen windows not accepting keyboard commands when operated manually.

 

Somehow, only when macros send keyboard commands then (especially in case of changing focus) such commands sometimes don't execute.

 

The autoit3 spy gave the classnn of controls. THESE CONTROLS ARE RESPONDING TO controlclick BUT NOT TO controlsend.

 

Any ideas why that could be so ?

 

(Lastly, i did upload to imgur and pasted that link in "image" insert but then got error. may be because i am new. i see i can only make 2 more posts until 12oct.)

Try sending a Space to the button if Enter isn't working. As kon said, there might be a default button intercepting the Enter; Space generally has the same effect, but I've found isn't usually intercepted (of course every program is different and this might not be the case).

Bump.

The last two posts by radiosilk had not been approved, so were probably not visible to ordinary members. I have approved them and radiosilk has been automatically moved out of the "New Members" group.
