Script in Background

[Sherm 0]

I am fairly new to AutoIt and have been searching the forums but I cant figure out how to search for what im looking for. I want to be able to run this Script on a certain program in the background so it doesnt stop working while I am searching the Internet, any help would be appreciated.

While 1     
    Send(".") 
    sleep(1000 * 25)
    Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 2900)  ;5 second delay 
Send(".") 
Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 5)  ;reset to default when done
WEnd

To make your send work on a particular window, use ControlSend instead.

Hi And Welcome,

not sure what your trying to do here but a hotkey might be the way to go:

HotKeySet("{F8}", "_f8")

While 1
    Sleep(28800)
WEnd

Func _f8()

    Send(".") 
    sleep(1000 * 25)
    Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 2900) ;5 second delay 
    Send(".") 
    Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 5) ;reset to default when done

EndFunc ;==>_f8

This will run in your tray and wait until you hit "F8 to do whatever it is that it does ;-)

Good Luck!

OK thank you the Hotkey Helps out but I guess I wasn't clear enough, I cant figure out how to make the script run only for a specific program.

Ah...

here is a little proggy I wrote to start iTunes and then click a window that popsup and closes the proggy.

Perhaps it will help you on your journey...

;Run process
ShellExecute("iTunes")

;Allow window to initialize...
WinWaitActive("Connect to rss.premiereradio.net")

If WinExists("Connect to rss.premiereradio.net") Then
    ControlClick("Connect to rss.premiereradio.net", "", "[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2]")

EndIf

It is for the original Fallout, I want it to auto shoot when I have the game alt-tabbed.
