I cannot get keystrokes to send to a certain app on a friends computer. I've tried SendEvent, SendInput, SendPlay. I've tried a number of different keystroke combos.

This works on my machine with this app, but not on a friends with the same app (same version). Other apps that I control, like notepad, work fine on both computers.

Any ideas on things to try?

Code:
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
ShortSleep = 500
LongSleep = 1000
SetTitleMatchMode 2

IfWinExist TradeStation
{
    WinActivate

    IfWinActive, TradeStation
    {             
        ; I've verfied it gets here with a msgbox
        sleep LongSleep
        SendInput !v
        sleep LongSleep
        SendInput r
        sleep LongSleep
        SendInput e
    }                   
}

Might I suggest % on you sleep variables? And go from there.

Code:
sleep, %longsleep%


Edit:
And the two machines are running the same version of Windows and AHk?

Your script run fine on my computer too (i'm on XP)

Did you and your friend use a different OS? Vista/Win7 maybe? UAC on vista/win7 was known to have some issue on SendInput command, try to turn UAC Off.

    1. I did read that before posting but as I do not really know what an expression is it did not mean much to me. (yes I have read the docs)
    2. Since % works just fine with sleep I thought it might be worth looking at.
    3. It was only a suggestion. :)

We are both on Windows 7. I have UAC already turned off. I will tell him to turn off UAC and try that. Thanks for the suggestion.
