Inactive Window

[prog81]

Hello,

How do I make an inactive window active so that I may enter text. An example of this is a windows with a prompt to enter a file name to open eg... "File > Open".

Thanks.

To add to SolidSnake's advice, if you plan to automate the text entry after activating the window then you should consider calling WinWaitActive() after WinActivate():

WinActivate('The Window')
WinWaitActive('The Window')
Send('This text now has a better chance of reaching The Window')
