Send keys.send List

[FONT=&quot]To send the ASCII value A (same as pressing ALT+065 on the numeric keypad)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{ASC 065}")[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot](When using 2 digit ASCII codes you must use a leading 0, otherwise an obsolete 437 code page is used).[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]To send UNICODE characters enter the character code, for example this sends a Chinese character[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{ASC 2709}")[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Single keys can also be repeated, e.g.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{DEL 4}") ;Presses the DEL key 4 times
Send("{S 30}") ;Sends 30 'S' characters
Send("+{TAB 4}") ;Presses SHIFT+TAB 4 times[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]To hold a key down (generally only useful for games)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{a down}") ;Holds the A key down
Send("{a up}") ;Releases the A key[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]If you with to use a variable for the count, try [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]$n = 4
Send("+{TAB " & $n & "}")[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]If you wish to send the ASCII value A four times, then try [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]$x = Chr(65)
Send("{" & $x & " 4}")[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Most laptop computer keyboards have a special Fn key. This key cannot be simulated.

Note, by setting the flag parameter to 1 the "keys" parameter is sent RAW. This is useful when you want to send some text copied from a variable and you want the text sent exactly as written.


Send is quite useful because windows can be navigated without needing a mouse.

For example, open Folder Options (in the control panel) and try the following:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{TAB}")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Navigate to next control (button, checkbox, etc)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("+{TAB}")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Navigate to previous control.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("^{TAB}")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Navigate to next WindowTab (on a Tabbed dialog window)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("^+{TAB}")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Navigate to previous WindowTab.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{SPACE}")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Can be used to toggle a checkbox or click a button.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{+}")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Usually checks a checkbox (if it's a "real" checkbox.)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{-}")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Usually unchecks a checkbox.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{NumPadMult}")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Recursively expands folders in a SysTreeView32. [/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]

Use Alt-key combos to access menu items. Also, open Notepad and try the following:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("!f")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send Alt+f, the access key for Notepad's file menu. Try other letters![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{DOWN}")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Move down a menu.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{UP}")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Move up a menu.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{LEFT}")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Move leftward to new menu or expand a submenu.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Send("{RIGHT}")[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Move rightward to new menu or collapse a submenu.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]

See Windows' Help--press Win+F1--for a complete list of keyboard shortcuts if you don't know the importance of Alt+F4, PrintScreen, Ctrl+C, and so on.
