Send keys to a program.

[RippaN]

Hi,

Im making a script which presses "8" on keyboard every 10 second.

But for this to work with the program i need to have it ontop all the time which makes me not available to do something else i the meantime.. Is there anyway you could script so the sendkey 8 command would only affect this program, and send it to the program even tho its in the background?

I've tried search for this :/

my code looks like this:

Opt("ColorMode", 1)
Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 1)
Opt("SendKeyDelay", 1)

$1 = 0

Do
Send("{8 down}")
Send("{8 up}")
Sleep (10000)

$1 = $1 + 1
Until $1 = 1000000000000

You could try using ControlSend

I have tried the code beneath but I dont get it to worked, ive tried ControlSend with other Applications too aswell but i dont get it to work there either.. I must be doing somewhing wrong here.

Opt("ColorMode", 1)
Opt("SendKeyDownDelay", 1)
Opt("SendKeyDelay", 1)

$1 = 0

Do
ControlSend("Horizons", "", "", "8")
Sleep (10000)

$1 = $1 + 1
Until $1 = 1000000000000

EDIT:

Ive got the keypresses to work by this line:

ControlSend("horizons", "", Send("{8 down}"), "")

But it doesnt send it to Horizons, it still sends it to everywhere
