Lotus Notes Server (Domino) Hangs Winbatch

Question:

After installing Lotus Notes Server on an NT 4.0 server compiled winbatch sendkey() routines hang. Sometimes they just can't see windows on the screen. Sometimes they won't send to any window. Any ideas here?

Answer:

My guess is the Lotus Notes server has trashed the HKEY_DYN_DATA section of the registry.

It's kinda tricky in there. If you do what you think is obvious, good and right - it does not work. If you follow the documentation exactly - even to the point of where it seems to be making an obvious mistake - then it works great.

In any case SendKey used that section of the registry to pace the sendkeys. You can disable this with IntControl(43...) - but that also turns off automatic pacing of keystrokes - also kills off IntControl(35...)

Complain (for what good it will do) to your program vendor about this problem.
