I am not a native English writer, but I try to explain as good as possible. please appologize.
I created a script which is able to save strings in a *.ini file and it also is able to read within this file and write the read String into the active field of the active window. I.e. I press Shift+Alt+F5 I can enter a string, i.e. 0123456789a0123456789b, and save this string in my, let's say BSB.INI.
In the appropriate section I have saved F5=0123456789a0123456789b.
Ich have positioned the cursor in the active window in an input field.
With Ctrl+Alt+F5 I am reading in the BSB.INI at the right position. I am getting my String 0123456789a0123456789b. (watched with ListVar")
Then I am trying to send the string to my active window. It always looses the first few characters of my String. The number of lost characters is randomly. It differs of a minimum of 2 up to 7 characters.
Up to the moment I am sending the charctars to the active window I could watch with "Listvar" that the string is still complete. I also tried to send it to a message box. This also worked fine for me.
I then also tried #KeyHistroy. There I could see that the first few characters or keystrokes went lost.
It looks like I am loosing the characters or keystrokes while they are sent to the window.
Do you have any solution for me.
That would be great
Regards

I think ur computer is too slow.
You need to decrease the speed of the Send,-command.

SetKeyDelay, 2
This should do it.

But you can try higher numbers.
The higher the number, the slower the simulation of the keys.
The lower the numgber, the higher the speed of the simulation.

Greetings.

P.S.:

some crappy java-applications needs

Thank you all, you took me to the right track. I had to set a "sleep 500" before I could execute the send command. And yes you are right, the receiving application is a java one.
