Sending data to minimized window?

[SnowCat]

Hi

Sorry if it was asked before (i didnt find anything similar tho)

But is it possible to send information (like {ENTER} or mouseclicks) to a window that is minimized?

And to get the color of a pixel from the minimized window? (or not minimized, just not the currently active window?)

And if it cant be done with autoit then can you tell me what language can do this?

Thank you!

You can send stuff to non-active windows using ControlSend or ControlClick. Use the AutoIt Window Info tool to get the names of the controls that you wish to interact with. I am not sure about the pixel colour part of your question. Someone else will have to help with that.

The pixel functions are based on the screen, not a particular window, so you cannot check a pixel on a window that is minimised.

Edit: You may be able to move the window to coordinates outside of the desktop and use a pixel check on the extended area. Never tried it, but it may work.
