Keypress

[acl03]

Is there a way for vbscript to simulate keypresses?

For example. if i ran my script in a loop that "pressed" the "r" key, and i opened notepad, it would just press r repeatedly.





Thanks,

Pefect thanks. What about sending mouse clicks to a certain part of the screen?

I don't think you can with VBScript. Look at AutoIT (

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/)

since it allows for mouse clicks, but the language is slightly different.

natively you might consider AppActivate, SendKeys and using tabs to move around and select buttons etc. all very nasty though and i usually sew my lip to the carpet before doing it, fingers crossed the thing you are trying to automate exposes most of what you want to to

Hey one more question. What about holding a key down for a certain number of seconds?



Thanks,
