ControlSend

[stackover]

I read all topics that I found in search. Example of using controlsend with notepad is easy but when I try someting diferent nothing works. I think that the most important thing in what im trying is ControlID... I tryed use "Autoit Window Info" to know ID but it dont return to me ControlID. Datas are empty Oo. What I have to do ? What you all sugest ?

How could I know if controlsend dont work ? Maybe it works. Just need to know how to do. Some genius ill give me the answer

About Send I already have all script running in Send but now need to run it with my window minimized or not in focus.

Where is your code? With a small sample, perhaps we can help...

Thanks Jef but I think it wont help too much but lets go... Assuming that I only need send a letter "V"... Script will be like this.

HotKeySet ("{F10}", "OnOff")

Func OnOff ()
ControlSend("MU", "", "Edit1", "v")
EndFunc

While 1
    
    Sleep(200)
WEnd

But the "Edit1" works fine for script using Notpad.exe in this case I think I need other CONTROLID.

Then try

ControlSend("MU", "", "", "v")

[stackover]

Then try

ControlSend("MU", "", "", "v")

Tryed .. didnt work. I think I need that ControlID

[stackover]

no way ?

[jefhal]

You don't launch MU in your sample script. No way to test without knowing what MU is and actually launching it...

What version of AutoIt you're using?

Last version (3.2.4.9) works (ControlSend works with an empty controlID if the application - MU - is active).

For earlier versions (3.2.2.0) it doesn't work.
