sendkey

excuse my english!!!

if sendkey allow to send key to active window as from keyboard, why using sendkeys as the bolow example (in a Excel module)

SendKeys "%F", True
SendKeys "{DOWN}", True
SendKeys "{ENTER}", True
SendKeys "ciao", True

the fourth row don't write ciao in the fileopen window?

I think but I'm not sure that active window is excel as for row number 1, 2 and 3; and it remain for row number 4 instead of open file windows.

Thank for your time.

Hi,
about your question:
I had a problem like it but when I put this code before "sendkey", it worked. put this code before line 4:
''''''''''''''''''''''''
AppActivate Return_Value
SendKeys "ciao", True
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
where "Return_Value" is a Double representing the program's task ID.("Shell", returns this ID,if successful)
also I think you want open a file. if it is true, why do you use Ctrl+O?
SendKeys "^{O}", True

Good Luck
Hamid

This is a much better way to oen a file

Sub xcxcx()

ss = Application.GetOpenFilename("ciao (*.xls),*.xls")
MsgBox ss
End Sub
