General question about keyboards and programs.

[Chambs]

Is there a way I can use Autoit to have my keyboard only work on a certain program (injecting?)

I want the keys to be sent to the program, while it is minimized.

ControlSend

Would I just need to set the ControlSend to the program?

Read the documentation in the help file on how to use ControlSend.

Thanks I've been looking for a helping guide.

So the basic setup is

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

Now say I want to send the a few keys to the program and that's all (or if it's easier, just the whole keyboard), how would I go about separating them in the string section? Commas? Slashes?

I'm going to be using a botting program and I want to use AutoIt to send the keys to the minimized program. Will this work?

HotKeySet("a","Function")

will capture the key "a" and only call the function so you could use that

HotKeySet("a","Function")

Err, could you elaborate?

[Cue]

my apologies. I think i may have misunderstood you question. say you press the a key do you want that key to be sent to your minimised window only?

if so you would have to use

HotKeySet("a","Function_a")

func Function_a()

ControlSend ( "title", "text", controlID, "a" [, flag] )

Endfunc

If you want to send a series of keys you dont need to seperate the string it will send the keys seperatly eg if you had "abcd+e" it will send a then b then c then d then Shift+e. if flag=1 then it will actually send + sign instead of shift look up "Send" in the helpfile for more info.
