Applying a hotkey to a text window

[Sebastian42]

I need to apply WIN_F12 three times to a (text) window to achieve the resizing that I want. The macro I created simply TYPES 'F12' three times into the window instead of resizing it
- how to make it effective ?

What application contains the text? 

Could you possibly use the Macro Express "Window Resize" command?

Can you show us the macro command(s) you are using to type WIN_F12? 

Something like this?

   Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <WIND><F12><WINU>
   Delay: 250 milliseconds
   Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <WIND><F12><WINU>
   Delay: 250 milliseconds
   Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <WIND><F12><WINU>

The application is vDosWP a 'modern' program that allows the DOS program, WordPerfect, to operate in 64bit Win10. WIN_F12 increases the size of its window.

 

I KNOW it is available, but at the time of trying, I could not find the Text Type trigger;  so instead clicked on an icon/tool that exposed a window offering text input.

I clicked on 'Win', but had to TYPE in the F12, so the MACRO showed 'WIN F12 WIN F12 WIN F12'

When it's hotkey was pressed, the WP/vDosWp program's window merely showed 'WIN' 'WIN' 'WIN'  instead of being resized.

 

I can see how the code YOU provide is likely to have the effect I want, but I repeat, I could not find the correct tool in the left pane to let me enter that code.

I'm not sure why you're having trouble with Text Type, but it sounds like you're finding it and using it. Wherever you are going to type "WIN F12" etc., return to the same screen and change it to this:

 

<WIN><F12><WIN><F12><WIN><F12>

That did the trick. Thank you SO much.
