I want to publicly say that your responsiveness to this (and other) issues has been outstanding! It is becoming more rare in this day and age to get good support, however yours has been excellent. While there are free tools that can technically do some of what MS does, the confidence that I have a g...

Thanks for looking into this. I'm on Win2K Pro but tried your script anyway, and sure enough it didn't work. Most of the machines I would deploy this to will be Win2K, so this doesn't help me, but definately good info for the future. The memo idea won't help me since the calling app needs to automat...

I think this should be by default tuned a bit so as not to spike the CPU, but maybe this could also be a user parameter WKD_DELAY which could be tuned to further adjust the behavior, so maybe i would extened it to 10ms on a slower machine etc.

I am running msched on my local machine, a Win2K Pro SP4 Dell Latitude D600 Laptop. I double-checked using your script, and what i got in the outlook note was: hello worldac As you can see, the CTRL never made it across so the a & c keypresses were treated as regular typed characters. When i turned ...

The SetEnvVar idea seemed decent. I tried this but it's not working the way i expected. I created a simple compiled macro 'console.exe': SetEnvVar>foo,Passed wkd>g and then i created a wrapper batch file 'consolebat.bat': @echo off console.exe echo %foo% pause Using SysInternal's ProcessExplorer htt...

Can a compiled macro write to STDOUT?

Is there anyway for a macro compiled to an exe write to STDOUT? I want to output status messages as the script runs. I know I can write to a file, but that doesn't help me. My .exe will be run by a scheduling application which read the messages from the console. Maybe with VB? Along the same lines, ...

If you'd like to try it out, I found a company with a demo app on citrix. It has the same issue.

To test simply open up an outlook note, write some text and try to cut-n-paste it.

I also tried simply ALT-e to get to the edit menu, but ALT doesn't work either. Neither does SHIFT.

Press F1 does work, if that helps you figure out why it's breaking.

Unfortunately that didn't work in the citrix app, but it did work in the local running Excel.

This stinks, i just hit a brick wall. :(

If you have any other ideas, please send 'em over

Problem with 'Press CTRL' and citrix

I don't think "Press CTRL" works over citrix. As a simple test I opened Excel thru citrix and then recorded the following: I clicked on a cell with some text, pressed CTRL-c to copy, clicked on another cell and pressed CTRL-v to paste it. When I played it back it simply sent 'c' & 'v' -- no CTRL. I ...
