Have you tried

ControlSend($handle, "", "YIMInputWindow1", "{CTRLDOWN}G{CTRLUP}")

?

It should be:

ControlSend($handle, "", "YIMInputWindow1", "^g")

It proves how helpful this forum is!

Did you read rules from the forum about bumping your topic?

...that isnt someting to say when you did not provide enought info on your problem and did not read rules on forum.

Are you trying to activate hotkey from other window? If thats the case did you try to use Send instead ControlSend?

Send is difrent from controlsend in many wayes, one is used to send strings mostly to specific control, the other is used to send key strokes.

Try

If WinExists ( "[CLASS:CConvWndBase]" ) Then
    If Not WinActive ( "[CLASS:CConvWndBase]" ) Then
        WinActivate ( "[CLASS:CConvWndBase]" )
        WinWaitActive ( "[CLASS:CConvWndBase]" )
    EndIf
    Send ( "^g" )
Else
    MsgBox ( 0 , "" , "You dont have that win" )
EndIf

if its working for you

OK Thanks but, one more question how to attach a text file or pic with autoit to yahoo chat window?

Here is my try!

If WinExists ( "[CLASS:CConvWndBase]" ) Then
        WinActivate ( "[CLASS:CConvWndBase]" )
        WinWaitActive ( "[CLASS:CConvWndBase]" )
        Send("D:\AVI-Songs\Akon\AKON-NA-NA-NA.avi")
Else
    MsgBox ( 0 , "" , "You dont have that window" )
EndIf

Dont know how yahoo chat is working. If ctrl+c +v is working on files in yahoo chat then

_ClipPutFile to load file

and ctrl+v to send it to win shud work

If yahoo chat dont have that option and have button or hotkey that activate that process then controlclick to click that option or send to activate it from meny or WinMenuSelectItem. then use send or control send for file path on win that request file path.
