grasshopper3 Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I am creating a program to change my desktop background by overwriting a file, but after the change i have to manually put focus on the desktop and press F5. Is there a way to do this with autoit? Thanks.

PsaltyDS Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) The reason for using ControlSend() vice Send() is the ability to target a particular window/control even if it's not the focus: ControlSend("[CLASS:Progman; TITLE:Program Manager]", "", "", "{F5}") Edited July 16, 2010 by PsaltyDS Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
