Does anyone know how to select an input box on a form then send it some keystrokes?

For example, a form contains three input box (First name, Last name, SSN). I would like to be able to place the cursor inside the input box for one of the above mentioned fields based on the input box name then send it keystrokes.

ControlFocus() then you can use ControlSend() or Send()

Hi, I used the AU3Info utility to get the class and id of the control but I am still not able to interact with the control.

Attached are .bmp code AU3Info results.

My previous reply did not have the attachments. The upload exceeded the limit.

Here's my code:

Set IE = New InternetExplorer

Set AI = New AutoItX3

If AI.WinExists("Smith Bits S.T.A.T.S.") Then

AI.WinActivate ("Smith Bits S.T.A.T.S.")

AI.ControlFocus "Smith Bits S.T.A.T.S.", "", "[CLASS:ComboLbox; INSTANCE:1]"

AI.ControlCommand "Smith Bits S.T.A.T.S.", "", "[CLASS:ComboLbox; INSTANCE:1]", "ShowDropDown", ""

Else

IE.Navigate "http://www.smith.com/stats/new/index.asp"

IE.Visible = True

End If

Is it controls HTML in IE you are trying to interact with or a native GUI?
