Problem combaining MouseLeftButton & EmulatnigKeystrokes

[HenryMast]

I have problem typing in stuff with Emulating-Keystrokes after using Left-mouse-button or Left-mouse-button-double click.

I think I'm overlooking something. The keystrokes work in general. Opened Windows Wordpad and got it to both type a word and paste text. It worked. But when for example I open Wordpad and let it to click in the text field, it does not type words for some reasons. Tried to bring it front, maximize windows, minimize other windows, in different combination, etc., and didn't find a way yet. So I'm asking here for a little advice/help.

More specifically, what I want to do right now is open the most basic Windows Wordpad and set the font to Times New Roman and character size to 14. Simple stuff. I kind of found a way around to do it with just clicks but I want to find a way over that obstacle because I probably need to have it click on things and type or paste things to specific fields.

(By the way, I'm a heavy user of Tasker and I am super happy over the existence of EventGhost which I recently discovered and now implementing a bunch of things with. I am hopeful that this is not some bug but simply my current lack of awareness of simple basics of EventGhost.)

Cheers,
Henri

Hey Henry I wanted to let you know I am on the task. there is a much better way to go about doing it. And it is going to require me to go digging to find the exact control item inside of wordpad. but I should be able to programmatically set the specific font and size without the need to use the mouse. and as far as typing something you do not have to use keyboard emulation for this or the mouse. but if you wanted to use keyboard emulation we could locate the text entry control inside of wordpad using find window and you do not have to do anything after the find windows except the keyboard emulation because it will pass the control handle to the emulator automatically. so there is no need to bring the app to the front.


so if you would give me all of the items you want to change and the values you want to change them to. and what text you want to type in and where I should be able to have to for ya in a jiffy

Super thanks for replying with good info. I figured out a way around the obstacle before the topic got approved and I also made a quick demonstration of how I got around the obstacle. There was something that some Mouse commands and EmulatingKeystrokes seemingly don't work together in the same macro.
