For example

I want a script is operative on my MSN but it's inoperative when I change window to another window like a game , and operative again when MSN window is active.

I know I can pause the script , but I prefer automation to manpower.

Second question

Can I make the script operative on a game that window is not active?

==> I execute a script for some specific game==>talk to friends with MSN(the script is still work on the game but dont influence my MSN.)

I am sorry If my poor English confuse you.

While 1
   If WinActive("Msn name thing") Then
     ; Do stuff
   Else
    ; Do stuff when not active, or just leave out the else statement
   EndIf
Wend

Should get you started hopefully.

thank you for your reply

CODE

While 1

If Winactive("Game name") then

send("a")

sleep(5000)

send("a")

sleep(5000) <====change focus to MSN from the game at this moment.

send("a")

sleep(5000)

send("a")

sleep(5000)

send("a")

sleep(5000)

else

send("b")

sleep(5000)

send("b")

sleep(5000)

send("b")

sleep(5000)

send("b")

sleep(5000)

send("b")

sleep(5000)

Wend

Question 1

If I change focus to my MSN from the game,Will the script send keystrokes a to my MSN window?(my hope is the keystrokes a won't send to my MSN window.)

Question 2

If I execute this script when I am using MSN(but the game is existing),which window(game or MSN) the keystrokes b will influence?(my hope is the keystrokes b will Influence the Game(inactive).)

thank you in advance.

A1. Yes the key strokes will be send to the msn window. You can get around this by looking at ControlSend() in the help file.

A2. Your script so far relies on the If...EndIf Statement, it will send "a" of the game window is active and send "b" when it is not active.

If you start the script while msn is the active window it will send "b" to any window that is active, unless it is the game window where it will send "a".

I understood

These answers means I cant send any key with au3 to a inactive process.

My previous idea was to do somthing in my game and do another thing like chat with my friends at the same time on one computer. but I think I have fantastic notions, lol.

Thank you Burrup.

Anytime. Like I said above look at ControlSend() in the help file. You will be able to talk on msn and send text specifically to your game window.

I will try to understand what Controlsend() function can do.

Thank you

[rawr]

can you also send leftclicks to an inactive window?

[MSLx Fanboy]

ControlClick() will do the job

[rawr]

Instead of using buttons for ControlClick() is it also possible to use cordinates?

[MSLx Fanboy]

The AU3 Window Info program will give you the name of the button. I would suggest against coordinates only because it may not always be located at that coordinate.

[rawr]

I know but is it also possible to use coordinates, If it is please give an example.

[rawr]

Please answer the question stated above.
