Newb question ALT+TAB

[TMoney777]

Hi new to autoit been able to get my script to press 0 at intervals but now I want to have it do so on alternating programs. Got a script looking like this.

Send ("0")
Sleep ("27000")
Send ("{Alt down}")
Sleep ("1000")
Send ("{TAB}")
Sleep ("1000")
Send ("{Alt up}")
Sleep ("1000")
Send ("0")
Sleep ("27000")
Send ("{Alt down}")
Sleep ("1000")
Send ("{TAB}")
Sleep ("1000")
Send ("{Alt up}")
Sleep ("1000")

Presses 0 then holds down Alt for a couple seconds but does not actually press tab.

Using these keys for some reasons may make your scripts quite messy. What are you trying to achieve? May be there is a more reliable way to do that....

Yeah I don't know what you're doing but I'd use a WinActivate($win_title) to switch window focus.

example:

WinActivate("readme.txt - Notepad"); Where 'readme.txt - Notepad' equals the title string of the window you want to focus.

Trying to switch between 2 running files of the same video games and have it do the same task over and over on both.

I could probably also just do it with mouse clicks but am having a tough time figuring that one out too.

Cancel that managed to figure out the mouse thing. =) Working now.
