To set Focus on Windows window

[Dini]

Hi,

I am unable to set the focus on the window, so that i can navigate to next text by sending [sendkeys ("string")]. 

Below is the code, I am using to launch and set focus :

ShellExecute("Perfmon.exe")
WinWaitActive("Performance Monitor")

;Clcking on the window using x and y co-ordinates to set the focus

MouseClick("primary", 120, 384)
Send("da")

Problem : I am unable to set the Focus on the launched Perfmon window

Please help me out on this.

WinWaitActive returns the handle of the window, so use it to activate the window

$hWnd = WinWaitActive("Performance Monitor") 
;....
WinActivate($hWnd)

but Send is not very nice, you might use the AutoIt Info Tool to check the controls so you can directly act on them

FYI - as windows go Focus and Activate mean the same thing...

...you should not need to Set the Focus if you use Mikell's code.
