Rule number one:DO NOT get caught !Useless to an individuals specific task? Maybe! Useless to the Masses that use it every day? Highly unlikely!!And what in the world are you talking about "DO NOT get caught!"? Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LxP Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 post your code you tried to use. ControlSend is useless thenThey should advice us about it something like "IT ONLY WORKS ON A NOTEPAD WINDOW CARALHO" That's a ridiculous statement. ControlSend() has worked on almost everything I have tried and no developer would be stupid enough to program an AutoIt function that only works with Notepad (who scripts Notepad?). The help file clearly mentions that AutoIt can't manipulate non-standard Microsoft controls (e.g. controls in Messenger windows). That is probably why you can't use it -- if not then you are probably using it incorrectly. Please follow gafrost's advice and post your code. Or why not just use a messenger with auto-responsive capabilities like the free Messenger Plus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
