Virtual key press, possible?

Post by Grovkillen » Thu Dec 17, 2020 11:18 am

Is it possible to "press" virtual keys? I would like to press the "VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE" as an example.

This will not work since it need to have an object handle.

Code: Select all

ObjectSendKeys>0,VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE
Let>ME=%Script%

Running: 15.0.24

VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE (179): Windows 2000/XP: Play/Pause Media key
This works for me on youtube

Send>VK179
