Topic... and description.

I couldn't find anything in the help file and I want to see what can be done with minimized windows so that I can do other things while running scripts.

AFAIK there isn't a section on this forum or in the help file that specifically talks about all the things you can to a minimised window...

Maybe if you say what you're looking to do, we could tell you if its possible.

As you saw in your thread I just want to send a simple string to the window.

All the Control_ functions work on minimized windows I believe, but you won't have much luck with internet explorer because IE "builds" the page with non-standard controls. Therefore, IE can't be manipulated very well. Try AI roboform to fill forms for you or javascript to do a boatload of working with webpages directly.

Oops I didn't realize that was you.

Exactly. Like "this-is-me" said, you can also use javascriplets.
I can't explain it very well. So, more information here.
