[Mr. j]

Im trying to get Ctrl&3 to go off at same time but so far its always control then 3

 

<SPEED:0001><TEXTTYPE:<CTRL>3>

 

thanks for the help

Hi,

-use this line to copy;

<TEXTTYPE:<CTRL>3>>

-use this line to read

Text Type: <CTRL>3>

That's OK to send "control-3"; unless you mean in a game or something to trigger separate keys! -Good luck!

 

Best, Randall

Windows processes keys sequentially. When you hold the Control key down, press 3, and then release the keys, this is what is sent:

Control key Down

3 key Down

3 key Up

Control key Up

What is sent for each keystroke actually looks more like:

keybd_event (VK_CONTROL, sc, ExtendKey (bVirtKey), 0);  // Control key down

keybd_event (VK_CONTROL, sc, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP + ExtendKey (bVirtKey), 0)  // Control key up

Computers can only do one thing at a time. It just does them very fast. So it will always detect one key at a time.

 

Having said all that, have you tried this:

Control Key Down

  Text Type: 3

Control Key Up
