Wagwan 0 Posted July 23, 2019 Can someone point me in the right direction? I want my scrip to keep running when I click outside the focus window. How can I permanently tie the script to a specific window? Any examples would be great. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nine 993 Posted July 23, 2019 There is multiple ways to achieve that. Stay on top window style is one. You could also trap the mouse within the window borders. You could have a loop check if you lost control. You could have a message handler to catch lost of focus....Start with one strategy that you are confortable with, make a script and then tell us where you hit a wall. Not much of a signature but working on it...

Wagwan 0 Posted July 23, 2019 More specifically, what I meant, is there a way to have a script doing something in one window while I work in another without the script starting in what ever application I swap to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
