An App is having Control Key alone as a shortcut. How do i disable this in the app?

When i press Control key in this app, the cursor focus changes to the first dialogue box. I want to disable this, because i am not able to use Control key as a modifier for using a script in this app.

I tried using

Code: Select all

^::
return
and

Code: Select all

if winacitve xxxxx
^::
return 
else 
Send ^
return
Both DID NOT WORK.
Control key still gets activated when i run a script using the control key as a modifier.

Please Help.

Your hotkey is a circumflex character. See the :arrow: list of keys to find what you want.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.35
^::MsgBox Circumflex!
