MyDisplayName Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I can't for the life of me figure out how to bypass this and click the button in the control. I can send text to a textbox via ControlSetText("Evaluation History -- Web Page Dialog", "", 8, "This is History") however clicking the OK button (to close window and accept changes) does not work. I do believe the need to activate the control is keeping this from working as it should. Any help would be much appreciated and thanks in advance.

MyDisplayName Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Sending the {space} is perfect. But another question, first my background is that I have several years in coding but this is my first autoit experience so I'm not too familiar with everything yet. I would like for this task to happen in the background allowing the user to do other things while this is going on. I have yet to look into it but also thinking along the lines of completely hiding it. Now my thought on that is that simply sending a space will not be directed to the correct spot. Is there another way to send this space but direct it at a specific window that may work while hidden? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleHohm Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 ControlSend(), rather than Send, should work with hidden windows.

It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?
