N1K Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I would like to know if it's possible to use keyboard shortcut to position cursor in this field shown on the picture attached...?Thx in advance..
possy_99 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 you can move the selection to buttons, fields etc by using TAB when the window is active...if your looking to physically move the mouse cursor, I think AutoIt (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3) might be of some use, particulary the MouseMove command.

zaac99 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 you can move the selection to buttons, fields etc by using TAB when the window is active.You're probably using FAT32 instead NTFS. If that doesn't help, try writing vb script. ..if your looking to physically move the mouse cursor, I think AutoIt (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3) might be of some use, particulary the MouseMove command.Thx for the reply, but what I ment was, for example, I'm browsing through file system in Total Commander, files, folders etc. and now I want to connect to a network share which is not mapped, so I need to position myself in the UNC field shown in the picture with a keyboard shortcut to be able to write the path..I can postion myself with the mouse, but I would like to do it mouseless 'cause every other thing can be done through keyboard shortcuts...
N1K Posted January 4, 2006 Author Posted January 4, 2006 keep pressing tab until its highlighted and then press the right aarow keyThx for reply but ur solution positions me to location shown on the picture, and typing the network location there windows explorer opens in typed location...
TravisO Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 I can only give you half the answer...Well you can use a program like HoeKey which allows you to map Winkey combinations to virtually anything in windows. Including performing functions within an application. You can probably map it to take focus on any area you want, but you'll need to find out the message code to do so.There might be applications that let you sniff out app messages, but your smartest bet is to contact the support and ask them what message you need to have the control take focus.It's an awesome app too, appears to be written in Assembly and uses a mere 128k of ram! I use it as an easy way to pause WinAmp quickly, since people often walk up to me at work.
