You mean this?

Run("Notepad.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)
WinWait("")

Send("!{TAB}")

sleep(4000)

ControlSend("Untitled", "", "Edit1", "This is a line of text in the notepad window")

Sleep(4000)

WinSetState("Untitled - Notepad", "", @SW_SHOW)

[Valuater]

nope... i wanted him to have to look for the page ControlSend() sent text to

to prove it would NOT be set active/on-top

Well i guess both examples show it... you're getting a bit furtive lately

[Valuater]

fur·tive [ fúrtiv ]adjective

Definitions:

1. secretive: done in a way that is intended to escape notice

conspirators exchanging furtive glances

2. shifty: presenting the appearance, or giving the impression, of somebody who has something to hide

i dont think that was it

The synonyms of the word was what I was after... something like "artful" ... "cunning"... I used it in the wrong sytax (kind of like my coding )
