Runing script as another process + Keyboard

[Guest atzplzw]

Hello!

I want to run the autoit script as another process. That means that this user is not active and so I can't use e.g. Send("key")

Is there any way to send a program (actually the process) a Keyboard input which is not active and even running under a different user than the logged-in one?

thx

If you mean that you want to run a script as another user, check the help file for RunAsSet. If you want your script to appear as another process than Autoit.exe, just compile the script and the process will be the name of the compiled script.

To send to keys to a process that will depend on the process. You can only send keys to a process that will accept input, eg Winword.exe, but not spoolsv.exe.

To send keys to inactive windows, search the helpfile for ControlSend.

Hope it helps

Thanks! ControlSend is just what I needed.
