Manipulate elements without focusing on their window


 Share

Recommended Posts

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!

ControlSend, ControlClick, ControlSetText?

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.

Have you actually tried a test case to see if the original answer you were given is not valid?

 

not yet, also any testing I may attempt may not catch an issue (eg clicks not interfering at that time)
