Subject: Re: Issue with ControlSend function using AutoIT in Ruby


Okay, I think I figured it out, my script was automating an installer 
and sending messages to STDOUT letting me know how it was progressing 
through the installation

for example:

puts "Enter Microsoft SQL Database Authentication Information"

autoit.WinWait("Enter Microsoft SQL Database Authentication 
Information", "", 5)

autoit.ControlSend("Enter Microsoft SQL Database Authentication 
Information", "", 301, "XXX")

autoit.ControlSend("Enter Microsoft SQL Database Authentication 
Information", "", 302, "XXX")

autoit.ControlSend("Enter Microsoft SQL Database Authentication 
Information", "", 1, "{ENTER}")

so, I noticed that when the script was running in the background it 
installed fine, and when it was running in the foreground I got the 
funky chars. Since then I commented out the lines like puts "Enter 
Microsoft SQL Database Authentication Information" and it seems to be 
running fine.

Thanks ya'll
