sendkeys

Hi everyone.
I have some questions for you.
I am working on my application which save work from another application using sendkeys:

SendKeys.Send("^(s)")
SendKeys.Send("file")
SendKeys.SendWait("{ENTER}")


And it works fine,but my problem is that I don't know why sometimes name of the saved file is "file" and sometimes "ile" and sometimes "e".

Why??

My guess would be that focus changes while the key strokes are being sent. SendKeys works just like typing at the keyboard. If focus changes to a different window while you're typing then your keystrokes are sent to that new window.

But I set focus on that application.Probably due to the speed at which the keys are sent. Any other opinion??

Try adding a delay before SendKeys.Send and see if it works all the time. If it does then you know that it's a focus issue. This is what developers do: they test things to see whether they work as expected.
