Do a send function on a non-active window

[NELyon]

I have a program that refreshes a page every four second... it works perfectly but i was wondering if i could make it refresh without having it be active.

i am NOT using IE, nor firefox. I am using america online 8.0 plus...

EDIT::: it refreshes with a

send("{f5}")

AUTOIT TAGS BACK!

Every 4 seconds, ****? going to miss something vital in that short period of time? Look at ControlSend and TitleMatchMode Option 4 with classname usage.

i'm running it on a page with little info on it so four seconds is all i need

While 1
ControlSend ( "America Online", "Gaia",  , "{f5}" )
Wend

won't work

I only mention that not in your sake, but for the website, that has to cope with the drain of continually sending the data to your browser. Currently about 145 users online now , refreshing every 4 seconds would make a big drain. But, perhaps I'm wrong. I see no sense in such a rapid refresh rate.

Edit:

Consider classname as I mentioned. Your browser would not see the title etc as you show? Others do not...

i saw over 30,000 users last night at 1 AM so 145 is nothing

edit: this works for my IE...

$WindowHandleYouAreResponsibleToGet = WinGetHandle("Do a send function on a non-active")
ControlSend($WindowHandleYouAreResponsibleToGet,"","","{f5}")

Lar.

Hm... that still only works if the window is active

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
While 1
ControlSend("Gaia ::", "", 1, "{F5}", 0)
Sleep(4000)
WEnd

[NELyon]

[AzKay]

I am using AOL 8.0 plus. I tried midifying the code so the title was america online, and the text was gaia, but it didn't work... which i don't know why because it worked in my normal send function

Just guessing>

Activate your AOL window, but place it to -20000,-20000 which is out of monitor area.

When 4 sec. comes remember which window was active, change to AOL, do what you want, and change back to the remembered window.

This should not take longer then 0.001 sec so you will sense nothing with normal work.

Maybe you can do blockinput when starting for safety.

You do realize this is from june? =P

Yes,

I myself carry problems months old.

Also, you never know when someone else will need to read this in the future.

Anyway, it took 1 min. to write down.

Also, I like my name written in forums (not true)
