Sending keystrokes on German (Swiss) kbd send wrong chars

Post by PaulSinnema »

Hi,

I've run into a problem with the 'Emulate Keystrokes' plugin. It seems that the Keyboard-Layout is interfering with the strokes being sent. I've created a Macro using the 'Emulate Keystrokes' like this:

{Shift+Tabulator}{Shift+Tabulator}{Shift+Tabulator}{Shift+Tabulator}{Shift+Tabulator}c:\Uniface7Export.trx

It should go to a certain Field in a Window and enter the ExportFilename like c:\Uniface7Export.trx'.

The {Shift+Tabulator} work fine but the text in the Field is wrong:

c:UNIFACE/EXPORT:TRX

If I change the Keyboard-Layout to Englisch-International the following is entered in the Field:

cèàUNIFACE/EXPORT:TRX

What I notice from the above is that changing the Keyboard Layout has influence and also that all the Letters are translated to Uppercase.

Anyone got a clue?

Thanks,
Paul
