ControlSend doesn't work Topic is solved

[ars4l4n]

Code: Select all

#IfWinExist ahk_exe MusicBee.exe
ScrollLock::
ControlSend,, {F14}, ahk_exe MusicBee.exe
return

It used to work when I just did

Code: Select all

ScrollLock::F14

but now nothing fires

to solve this I tried:
closing all other scripts and running a blank script with the above code on its' own

don't know what my next step is from here

What happens if you double-click a script with only this code

Code: Select all

ControlSend,, {F14}, ahk_exe MusicBee.exe

or if you replace ScrollLock by another key?

neither doubleclicking the script with just that code nor using my original script with a different hotkey (like the up arrow) causes the action for that key to fire in MusicBee.

I tried some additional troubleshooting:
Controlsend works in MusicBee when eg I choose a textbox as a Control and send some text there but I can't get it to accept the {F14} Controlsend, even though I tried out different controls as the recipient.

I unchecked the "Global Hotkey" box for the F14-action in the MusicBee settings and the issue was solved
