Is there anyway I can...

[Legacy1]

Send a command to a program?

Such as, for steam, -applaunch 240 or something?

Or Pause iTunes?

[Legacy1]

so like?

Func Play()

Send '-applaunch 240' 'Steam.exe'

EndFunc

maybe?

Im new so that might be utter bull.

You may want to look in the HelpFile for-

WinExists - checks to see if a specific window exists

WinActivate - Activates (gives focus to) a window

ControlCommand - Sends command to a control

This may get you going in the right direction.

If you get stuck on something, just post what you have, and the problem.

(What you expect it to do/What it's actually doing)

Lot of people out here to help out.

HotKeySet("{F9}","CSS")

ToolTip("F9 = CSS" ,600,0)

WinExists ( "Friends - _.Legacy" [, ""] )

While 1
    Func CSS()
        ControlCommand ("Friends - _.Legacy", "", ID, "-applaunch 240" [, ""] )
    EndFunc
    WEnd

Stuck?

When I press F9 I want it to launch CSS.

This works on my system.

HotKeySet("{F9}","CSS")

ToolTip("F9 = CSS" ,600,0)



While 1
Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func CSS()
        Run('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 240')
EndFunc

Try this one if you are not on x64

[AutoIt]HotKeySet("{F9}","CSS")

ToolTip("F9 = CSS" ,600,0)



While 1
Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func CSS()
        Run('"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 240')
EndFunc

Looking over what you have, this may be more towards what you are shooting for.

I haven't tested any of this out, but hopefully gets you in the right direction.

HotKeySet("{F9}","CSS")
ToolTip("F9 = CSS" ,600,0)

;once script is launched, waiting for F9 to proceed
While 1
   Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func CSS()
    ;First you need to launch the application, Run or ShellExecute would be a good option
    ;Run("filename"[,"workingdir"[,show_flag[,opt_flag]]]) ;-runs an external program
    ;ShellExecute("filename"[,"parameters"[,"workingdir"[,"verb"[,showflag]]]]) ;-runs an external program using the ShellExecut API.
    ;pause execution of script until the requested window exists, give it a timeout
    WinWait("title"[,"text"[,timeout]])

    ;Check to see if application launched, or timeout exceeded
    If WinExists("title"[,"text"]) Then
        ;Activate the window if it exists
        WinActivate("title"[,"text")
    Else
        MsgBox(262160,"ERROR","CSS did not launch",8)
        Exit
    EndIf
EndFunc
