controlsend % (percent sign)

[luzif3r]

well, it might be a huge oversight on my part, but i am unable to controlsend "%" (percent sign) to an inactive and minimized window. i have tried several conversions or even briefly activating the window, which works but it takes quite long and is just annoying. so can anyone tell me how to do this?

Hi,

no prob for me:

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4)
Run('notepad', '',@SW_MINIMIZE)
Global $text = InputBox("Dein Text", "Bitte Text eingeben")
ControlSend("classname=Notepad", "", 'Edit1', $text)

hm, your "solution" turns out to give me a '5' and i could have told you because i tried that one before. i guess the program does something special then? any way to circumvent that? maybe some formatting or send it raw thru some dll calls? i am really clueless of why that does not work..

Which program?

Try

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4)
Run('notepad', '',@SW_MINIMIZE)
Sleep(1000)
;Global $text = InputBox("Dein Text", "Bitte Text eingeben")
ControlSend("classname=Notepad", "", 'Edit1', '{ASC 037}')

thanks for staying with me but i tried the conversion already and i tried it again now but it just reads '037'. i hope it aint a problem that im using the window handle.

World of Warcraft to be exact and some other games like Hellgate London and i think i tried it on NFS prostreet

all 5's

The only other variation that comes to mind would be something like:

ControlSend("Untitled - Notepad","","Edit1",Chr(37))

[luzif3r]

its kinda embarrassing to bother you but it still gives me a 5 :/

code snippet:

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4)
$wow_handle = WinGetHandle("classname=GxWindowClassD3d")
ControlSend($wow_handle, "", "", Chr(37))

Send("{SHIFTDOWN}")

ControlSend("Untitled", "", "Edit1","55555")

Send("{SHIFTUP}")

[luzif3r]

result: abcabc123123 @hubertus ofc

your assumption is correct. how do i change that while keeping it minimized?
