keystroke to inactive window. Help.

[frostchill]

Hello guys, i'm new here, I would like to get some help to fix my script, I'm trying to send keystroke to Fiddler Web Debugging, it seem like i have to keep the window focus to get it to work.

Func MyExit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>MyExit

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "MyExit")

While True
    ControlSend("Fiddler Web Debugger", "", "", "{s}")
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Before ControlSend, why not use WinActivate to give it a focus?

[frostchill]

not sure what to do... I search around.

I found

If WinActive("[CLASS:Notepad]") Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "Window was active")
EndIf

Where it say Class:Notepad.. I am not sure what to put in there, I used Au3info.exe to find class, and this is what i found "Class:WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.ea7f4a_r11_ad1" looks kinda too long.

Where do i need to place these code?

Maybe you can try this way

While True
    If WinExists("Fiddler Web Debugger") Then
        WinActivate("Fiddler Web Debugger")
        ControlSend("Fiddler Web Debugger", "", "", "{s}")
    EndIf
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Thanks a bunch man, It's working, but it just try to keep that window on top, is there a way to keep it working while it's not focus?

Maybe you can save current window handle and then restore it after ControlSend, but still it's annoying:

Local $hCurrentWin
While True
    If WinExists("Fiddler Web Debugger") Then
        $hCurrentWin = WinGetActive()
        WinActivate("Fiddler Web Debugger")
        ControlSend("Fiddler Web Debugger", "", "", "{s}")
        WinActivate($hCurrentWin[0])
    EndIf
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func WinGetActive()
    Dim $window[2]
    Dim $winlist
    $winlist = WinList()
    For $i = 1 to $winlist[0][0]
        If $winlist[$i][0] <> "" AND IsVisible($winlist[$i][1]) Then
            $window[0] = $winlist[$i][0]
            $window[1] = $winlist[$i][1]
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next
    Return $window
EndFunc

Func IsVisible($handle)
    If BitAnd( WinGetState($handle), 2 ) Then
        Return 1
    Else
        Return 0
    EndIf
EndFunc

Maybe you want to take a look at this:

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

I think that will not need the window to be focused like when we're using ControlSend

That's too advance for me... still noobie, prefer something simple lol
