RE: [Talk] Location of Windows key strokes

[Shawn M. Yeaton]

It depends what you want to do.  Unlike other connections, the Windows connection doesn’t give you a full display of the screen, rather just the control that has focus.  You can navigate the application by keystrokes and mouse clicks, keystrokes being the easier of the two from a development standpoint.  What exactly are you trying to do and perhaps I could outline what my approach, as a scripter, would be.   Shawn M.

Sorry folks; but for some reason I cannot get this to work. All I'm trying to do is open WORDPAD, then enter a few lines of text and file/save it. Sub OpenWordpad(Optional dummay As String) Shell "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" On Error Resume Next Wait 1 'Activate "wordpad" Activate "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" Connect "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe", stWindows End Sub Sub EnteringMsg(Optional dummy As String) Enter " This message is coming from an automated script created" Enter "by Scott White, using Boston Workstation. 222" SendKeys "%{F}" End Sub It crashes and creates and error log that I'm not sure of the location. On a good note..... it does open WORDPAD; but doesn't place any text into it.
