Simulate keystroke for prompts Topic is solved

[CuriousDad]

I have a program that activates the UAC (User Account Control) prompt every time I open the program. I can press the left arrow and then enter to continue on to that program (no mouse input).

After the script to open the program, I wrote

Send {left} {enter}

to simulate the keystrokes, but nothing happens. There is no error message. Are there certain situations that cannot be replicated with keystrokes or did I program this incorrectly?

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

As far as I know, as a security feature, a script cannot interact directly with the UAC dialog.

Thanks. That makes sense from a security point of view.
