grasshopper3 1 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PsaltyDS 41 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...
