usser Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hello! Is it possible to manipulate elements, eg fill a textbox with text or select a listbox entry, in both Windows apps and Webpages, without focusing on them? I want to really multitask, ie send clicks and text to other windows, while manipulating other windows via AutoIt. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that these functions also required the Window containing the controls the functions are manipulating needed to be in focus in order for the manipulation to take effect.

MattHiggs Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Generally, if it works in the test case, it will work the way you want it. I say generally because nothings perfect and there will always be hiccups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
