Continue running the script in inactive window

[kpt]

Not sure how to keep my script running while I'm doing something else.

I would like it to keep running in the background in the inactive window.

Help is much appreciate.

thanks

I would also like to know this. I believe that the answer will be something along the lines of : "Only some commands can run on inactive window", I'm not sure though. Either way, I would like to add another question on top of this one: Is it possible to, somehow, use pixelgetcolor() in an inactive window?

Hey mario thanks for the input. I figured it out. Its a simple ControlSend line. you just got to have the proper basic window inputs

MarioTester, I believe pixelgetcolor() only works if the window is visible since it grabs actual pixels from the screen. Weather its active should not matter, just visible.

Hmm I see! I'm glad you solved your problem, and this ControlSend will definitely be useful in my future scripts

Oh, I always thought it had to be active, being visible makes more sense. But still, that would mean that it's impossible to get pixels from background windows.

That's not totally true, it's possible to take a screenshot of a minimized window (or in background but I'm not totally sure) and then check the pixel, have a look here:
