Necromorph Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) ShellExecute("C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI\MSI GamingApp\MSIGamingApp.exe") Sleep(3000) WinActivate("MSI Gaming App") Send("{LWINDOWN}{SHIFTDOWN}{LEFT}", 1) Send("{LWINUP}{SHIFTUP}", 1) Sorry if this has been asked already, I did search a bit, and didn't find anything helpful. Basically I wanted to open an application, then send it to my secondary monitor with the WindowsKey + Shift + Left arrow, but it just doesn't work, I hope maybe I am just missing something easy. I haven't used AutoIT it a while, but I thought it would be perfect for this type of task. Thanks for any help. Edited November 19, 2013 by Necromorph
0xdefea7 Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Try this: Send("{LWIN}{LSHIFT}{LEFT}") RTM first if you need more help, the answer was right here: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/Send.htm
Necromorph Posted November 19, 2013 Author Posted November 19, 2013 I attempted this first, but it did not work, I will try again, thanks.
BrewManNH Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 How about Send("#+{LEFT}")? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Necromorph Posted November 19, 2013 Author Posted November 19, 2013 ShellExecute("Calc.exe") WinWaitActive("Calculator") Send("#+{LEFT}") So, it must be something with the application, because this works fine. Thanks again.
Solution Necromorph Posted November 20, 2013 Author Solution Posted November 20, 2013 ShellExecute("C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MSI\MSI GamingApp\MSI GamingApp") WinWaitActive("MSI Gaming App") Send("#+{LEFT}") Well, I don't know why, but if I compile the script with this code, and then run the .exe as an admin, it works. No flipping idea why, but it works. lol, thanks for the help.
