TC Script Editor: SendText( "c:\windows" );

[SanskritFritz]

This script does not do the trick I wanted to:

Code: Select all

SendCmd( cm_editpath );
SendText( "c:\windows" );

The ":" is not being sent. Can i only send alphanumeric text, the ":" character can only be sent with the SendVKey command?
The "\" opens the windows start menu!!
(careful, when testing the script, on my XP it did all kinds of weird things, like opening the windows start menu, and starting something from there!)

SendText is kind of bugged, what it does is to send virtual keys, but as you're feeding it ASCII keys, it kind of goes wrong because they dont have the same index. I just need to put it through an ASCII -> Virtual Key converter. If I'm not mistaken, theres an API funtion for this, but i cant remeber its name.

Thanks for your help. So how would you solve the problem now? My goal is to switch to a folder without using Ctrl-D or similar.
