Hidden Window

[CyberFunk Productions]

is there any way to send keys to a hidden window???

ControlSend will send to hidden windows.

From the help file:

ControlSend ( "title", "text", "classnameNN", "string" [, flag] )

ControlSend

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sends a string of characters to a control.

This works with most windows, and most of the send keys.

It is one of the best ways to use send. Use autoitspy to find the control (usually Edit1, or something, or you can try it blank.

ControlSend("WindowName","","","Hi I am text")

Best to use the control if possible, it is more acurate.

Also make sure to use the option:

Opt("WinDetectHiddenText", 1) ;0=don't detect, 1=do detect

It will save a few headaches.

what about the class name of a comand prompt, i can't seem to find the classname of that

[brett]

umm, i think you could use the window spy thing

If you use a dos window, leave the classnameNN blank.

controlsend(@comspec,"","","Text to send")
