ok ive done the whole send( "hi" ) thing, but my minds gone blank. Im trying to open notepad and type Hello, so i did this,

Run( "notepad.exe" )

send( "hi" )

it opens notepad, but doesn't type hi, im confused.

Its trying to type hi before notepad is fully done loading.

You forgot the code

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

Insert that between run and send

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

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