thegreatconductor Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Is it possible to have autoIT send a keypress to an inactive window? For instance if I want it to be typing something in notepad while im surfing the internet in firefox. The keypresses shouldn't affect firefox at all they should be sent only to notepad and notepad should remain in the background. If there is a way to do this can someone please try and point me in the right direction to get started? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
