Emulate Keystrokes - Not Working in 0.3.5c.908

[therealjoeblow]

Keystroke emulation does not seem to work.

Even with a simple .XML file as follows:

1) Create NEW Config File (Alt...File...New)

1) Under Autostart, add the following:

a) Start Program: notepad.exe
b) Find Window: notepad.exe
c) Bring to front
d) Emulate Keystrokes: test

RESULTS:

-Notepad loads
-Notepad comes to top

That's it, the text "test" never gets typed in

I tried adding "Wait: 3.0sec" between :"Bring to front" and "Emulate keystrokes", it makes no difference.

Am I doing something (very basic???) wrong or is it broken?

Thanks

You have to target the "Edit" pane of notepad in FindWindow.

OK, thanks, it works now. Is there documentation on these window classes?

Also, EventGhost doesn't see 'itself' in the FindWindow - I want to send {ALT+F4} to EG after my macro runs to close event ghost - do you know how I would do that? (Basically, I just want to use it as a macro runner - load up, run the macro, close).

Thanks,

This is not the purpose of EventGhost. Try AutoHotkey or similiar.
