ControlSend with Handle

[Deathspike]

Hello. I have a window handle as a string and use it in ControlSend, as it is shown around these forums. However, the message never arives, nothing is executed. I cannot use a handle on ControlSend, WinActive, and more. Please help me out, what is wrong here (the following code is C#).

string hwnd = AutoItX.WinGetHandle( "Untitled - Notepad" );
AutoItX.ControlSend( "handle=" + hwnd, "", "Edit1", "Hello", 0 );

Taking any advice that might work (it must be using hwnd though)!

If AutoItX is anything like AutoIt then you're doing it all wrong. Did you not look at anything in the helpfile? Where is the square brackets? What happened with the colon?

And no, I have never used AutoItX so I can't leave any guarantee for anything, but seriously, your code looks nothing like the ones in helpfile.

If AutoItX is anything like AutoIt then you have some errors. Did you not look at the helpfile? You are probably missing some square brackets and/or colons.

Thanks for the reply. It only required brackets. I fixed your message by the way. It's called a less hostile reply.

AutoItX3Class ai = new AutoItX3Class();

ai.Run("notepad.exe", "", ai.SW_SHOWNORMAL);

ai.WinWaitActive("[class:Notepad]", "", 0);



string hwnd = ai.WinGetHandle("[class:Notepad]", "");

hwnd = "[handle:" + hwnd + "]";



ai.ControlSetText(hwnd, "", "Edit1", "12345678");

ai.WinSetState(hwnd, "", ai.SW_MINIMIZE);

ai.WinWaitNotActive(hwnd, "", 0);



string hCtrl = ai.ControlGetHandle(hwnd, "", "Edit1");

hCtrl = "[handle:" + hCtrl + "]";



ai.ControlSend(hCtrl, "", "", "{END}{ENTER}12345678", 0);

ai.WinSetState(hwnd, "", ai.SW_RESTORE);

1. This is AutoIt, not AHK.

2. It's "AutoIt", not "AutoIT".

3. No bots. That's not only against our rules but also the game's rules.
