Control key = ok, F Keys, not so much

[Ryder]

Hi all... I have a couple lines of code sending some keys to a control.

The first works, the other does not.

ideas?

Code: Select all

^p:: ControlSend,,^p, %MainTitle%	  ;Works

F2:: ControlSend,,{F2}, %MainTitle%		;No workey

Thanks for your kind help!

Ideas:

1. Use the hook. https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm#prefixdollar
2. Use ahk_parent as the control name.
3. Activate the target window, and use Send instead of ControlSend.

Ha! It worked!

Actually, it took a combination of doing both #1 and #3

*Thank you so much!*
