An example of this is a windows with a prompt to enter a file name to open eg... "File > Open".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') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
