Control+A (Selection All) don't select text

[ccmancio]

I have a little script for teste :

run Notepad.exe
Sleep 1500
WinActivate
Send Linha1
Send Linha2
Send ^A (oir Send {Control A})

But text not selected.

A is shift+a. So you send ctrl+shift+a.

Make the "A" lower case, i.e.:

Send ^a

YES. it's ok..

You know why A don't function, in Notepad say Ctrl+A.
Why {Control a} don't function too.

Best regards
Thanks

You press ctrl+A (A is what is etched on the key you press).
The computer receives ctrl+a (which is what the send does).

Send ^a works. Send {Control a} is nonsense as there is no key called "Control a" nor is there some key state for "a" to define what to do with "Control". You could do Send {Ctrl down}a{Ctrl up} to say hold down Ctrl for now, then press a at the same time, then release Control afterwards. You can use Send {Ctrl down} and Send {Ctrl up} in different lines, and take an action between those lines, such as doing Click to make a Control+Click or Sleep 3000 to hold Control down for 3 seconds, such as in a game if you use Ctrl for a "charge key" or something.
