I'm pasting a variable (using SendInput) into the field of a program, and sometimes the variable is long and the field takes awhile before all the text is accepted.


Is there a way AHK can figure out when it's done?

Would I use ControlGetText to compare the text of the control to the variable I'm pasting and when they both are the same, I know the variable was finished being pasted?

That's what I ended up doing. I found that pasting the clipboard, i.e. {Control down}v{Control up} is much faster than SendInput, %MyVar%.

Still curious how I could use ControlGetText to figure out when the variable had been completely pasted....

Just an idea
Code:
; Works when My Computer is open.
F1::
var = My Computer
Loop,
{
   ControlGetText, conTxt, Edit1, My Computer
   if (var = conTxt)
      {
      Msgbox, % "The control contains the desired text."
      Break
      }
   Else
      {
      Msgbox, % "The control contains " conTxt "`nIts not the desire text."
      Break
   }
}

Return

If the target control responds to ControlGetText, then why bother with either SendInput or the clipboard? Just use ControlSetText or Control, EditPaste, either of which are as fast as pasting the clipboard (and neither uses the clipboard). Check them out in the help file.

I love it! I have only written a few scripts and haven't worked with "controls" yet, but now seems like the right time to start! Thanks!
