I have a mathtype, which is a formula generator for word.
I want to do the following operations with word VBA.
(1) Open the currently selected mathtypep object.
(2) Select all the contents in the opened dialog by pressing "Ctrl+A" key.
(3) "Ctrl+E" key operation in the opened dialog.
(4) Execute "Ctrl+F4" to close the opened dialog.
All of these operations can be performed manually. To do this with word VBA, I wrote the following code.
Application.Run MacroName:="MathTypeCommands.UILib.MTCommand_EditEquationOpen"
SendKeys "^A", True 'Ctrl+A
SendKeys "^+", True 'Ctrl+"+"
SendKeys "^{F4}", True 'Ctrl+F4
The first line works and opens the dialog; the second and subsequent lines do not respond. Is the sendokey method from word disabled even if another application's dialog is active? If not, is there another way?
