jdelaney Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Just use ControlSend with a blank control id parameter. That doesn't work on an inactive window...proof: Run("notepad") $hWin = WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Notepad]") $hControl = ControlGetHandle($hWin,"",15) ControlFocus($hWin,"",$hControl) ; make your window NOT active Run("notepad") ; loop until it's not active While WinActive($hWin) WEnd ControlSend($hWin,"","","NEW TEXT!") ControlSend($hWin,"",""," MORE TEXT!") ;~ ControlSetText($hWin,"",$hControl,"NEW TEXT!") ;~ ControlSetText($hWin,"",$hControl,ControlGetText($hWin,"",$hControl) & " MORE TEXT!")

BrewManNH Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 You are correct sir, doesn't work. So, I guess he's not going to be able to make it work the way he wants to. 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.

jdelaney Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Simply send keystrokes to mainwindow , not to controls Will only work when your window is active: Run("notepad") $hWin = WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Notepad]") $hControl = ControlGetHandle($hWin,"",15) ControlFocus($hWin,"",$hControl) ControlSend($hWin,"","","NEW TEXT") ControlSend($hWin,"",""," MORE TEXT") I think a moderator should lock this one...just beating a dead horse now.
