Macro Scheduler 15

Press ...


 

All commands starting with Press facilitate the sending of non-character keys.  To issue a Press command more than once add the '*' symbol followed by the number of times to issue the command at the end of the line:

 

Press Key * n

 

E.g.:

 

Press Tab * 5

 

Use SK_DELAY to insert a delay between key presses.  Set SK_DELAY to a number of milliseconds to wait between key presses.  Th default value for SK_DELAY is 0.

 

By setting PRESS_ALLOWVARS to 1, Press can accept a variable name in place of the key name.

There have been reports that Press CTRL, Press SHIFT and Press ALT sometimes fail when running Macro Scheduler under a Citrix environment.  This can be fixed by setting SK_LEGACY to 1 prior to issuing these keystroke commands.  Some DOS applications also need SK_LEGACY set to 1.
