Get Control/Set Focus

[dougb1]

I have a simple macro that does the following:

 

Activate Window "X"

Get Control %C8% ("X")

Set Focus to %C8%

Text Type "some text<ENTER>"

 

The Set Focus fails with the message: "The specified control, C8, could not be found".

 

I used the Capture Window Control utility to get the control name/location. Why then can't the control be found?

 

Thanks,

Doug

Two things to try:

 

1. Change the way you capture the control. If you are capturing text, uncheck the option. And vice versa.

 

2. Insert a short time delay before the Set Focus statement.
