Hi - is it possible to create an autotype entry for entering my date of birth via a dropdown combo box? I know I can use PICKCHARS, but I already know what value I want to enter, so was hoping that there was an automatic way of doing this without having to select the values?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If you can do it with pickchars but the values are fixed, then you can use custom string fields instead. Define a separate custom string field for each dropdown box e.g. year, month, date and assign the necessary values. Use the placeholders {S:year}, {S:month}, {S:date} in your auto-type keystroke sequence as needed.
Custom string values are created and managed on the Edit Entry dialog's Advanced tab.

I know about custom strings, but I don't think that helps.
Have just realised that {DOWN 4} etc. will achieve what I want.
