Send> Lack of Unicode Support

[armsys]

With the current version 14.0.6, after years, regrettably, Send> remains unable to support unicode UTF-8, UTF-16 little endian, Windows 950,....etc.
For example, the following command fails:
Send>²Ó©úÅé
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Send is unicode compatible. Except where stated all of Macro Scheduler's functions are unicode compatible. It has been since version 11.

I have no problems:



Of course this depends on the target app being able to accept the unicode characters.

Thanks for your working demo.
Nonetheless, I replicate your code but fail.
It just can produce the Chinese characters in Notepad like you did.
It fails even though I deliberately set Chinese as the Default Input Language in Text Service and Input Languages Window.

[Marcus Tettmar]

Which version of Windows are you using?

[armsys]

Marcus,
Thanks for your reply.
My OS:
Win 7 Ult (SP 1) 64-bit (6.1)
User Role: Admin
Sys Locale ID: 3076
Default ANSI Code Page: 1252

The current forum appears to disallow post modification.
My Thu Mar 28, 2013 10:41 pm HKT post contains the following typo:
It just can produce the Chinese characters in Notepad like you did.
It should read:
It just can't produce the Chinese characters in Notepad like you did.

The following is my code cloned from yours:

Code: Select all

Setfocus>Untitled - Notepad
Send>檢舉

But it produces j? instead of 檢舉.

copied your script and it sends the two chinese character to notepad without a problem.

i m using windows server 2008, x64 R2 standard and MS 14.0.3

hoangvo81,
Thanks for confirming MS' support of Unicode.
What are your setting of system locale and default input language?
Thanks again for your help.

[armsys]

The following script works perfectly:
Setfocus>Untitled - Notepad
Send>檢舉
Setfocus>wordpad*
Send>檢舉

Not sure why Notepad fails.
Not sure what's the difference amongst Notepad, WordPad, and Word.

This morning (4/1/2013 Mon 07:00 AM HKT) this forum disallows creating new threads.
So I append a new one here.
Lately I encounter another bug tormenting me for the last 6 months.
GetText has never worked for me.
The following code will generate a null result:
GetTextInit
GetWindowTextEx>Text Capture Component - GetWord - Mozilla Firefox,result
mdl>result

Yes, I notice GetWord_x64.exe (4,928K from http://www.TextCapture.com) is loaded successfully into memory.

In fact, with Text Capture Wizard, it doesn't show any found text for all kinds of windows.

Please help. Thanks.

[Marcus Tettmar]

The text capture functions won't work with all windows. Not sure it copes with Firefox. It is a case of suck it and see. Point the wizard at various windows. Not all will return text (because not all use the Windows textOut functions to render text).

Parsnipnose3000,
I remember you a long time ago.
Thanks for confirming Send>'s Unicode support.
I'll do more tests myself.

[Dorian (MJT support)]

Thank you. It's nice to be back.

I first started using Macro Scheduler in 1998. How time flies.

I still think it's the best software I ever bought.
