Help with SendKey

[chde]

For starters i just wanna say im a COMPLETE noob when it comes to AutoIT.

So i want AutoIT to start "AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe" (which basically starts a command prompt), i then want AutoIT to send keys and press enter after each keypress.

Example: Start AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool, wait 1 sec, press e, wait 1 sec, press enter and so on.

AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool has no title so i cant use WinActive. It has a class (ConsoleWindowClass)

Ive only come this far:

ShellExecute("AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe")
Sleep(1000)
Send("e")
Sleep(1000)
Send({ENTER})

 

The program starts, but no command is sent. How do i do this?

Have you tried using:

ControlCommand

?

Try this :

$pid = ProcessWait("AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe")
$hwnd = _GetHwndFromPID($pid)
Sleep(1000)
ControlSend($hwnd, "", "", "e",0)
Sleep(1000)
ControlSend($hwnd, "", "", "{ENTER}",0)

Func _GetHwndFromPID($PID)
    $hWnd = 0
    $stPID = DllStructCreate("int")
    Do
        $winlist2 = WinList()
        For $i = 1 To $winlist2[0][0]
            If $winlist2[$i][0] <> "" Then
                DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "GetWindowThreadProcessId", "hwnd", $winlist2[$i][1], "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($stPID))
                If DllStructGetData($stPID, 1) = $PID Then
                    $hWnd = $winlist2[$i][1]
                    ExitLoop
                EndIf
             EndIf
             ConsoleWrite(@CRLF &$winlist2[$i][0])
        Next
    Until $hWnd <> 0
    Return $hWnd
EndFunc ;==>_GetHwndFromPID
