_SendMessage function help

[CyRius]

Hey. Anyone knows how can i hold down the CTRL key on minimized window? Send("{CTRLDOWN}") doesn't works on minimized window.

The code with active window is:

Send("{CTRLDOWN}")

MouseClick("",$area_x,$area_y,1,1)

Send("{CTRLUP}")

The code with minimized window would be:

_SendMessage(WinGetHandle($clientname),???)

ControlClick($clientname,"","[iNSTANCE: 1]","left",1,$area_x - $client_pos[0],$area_y - $client_pos[1])

_SendMessage(WinGetHandle($clientname),???)

How should i use the _SendMessage function or how could i make this with any other function(s)? I didn't find any useful command in help/Windows Message Codes. Any ideas?

Try controlsend function.

ControlSend() don't work. I already tried it.

I have an autohotkey code which hold down the CTRL but i dont understand how it is works:(

$hwnd := ControlFromPoint($XX,$YY,$ProcessID1,\"\")

PostMessage, 0x201, 0x8 | 0x1, cX & 0xFFFF | (cY & 0xFFFF) << 16,, ahk_id %hwnd%

PostMessage, 0x202, 0x8 , cX & 0xFFFF | (cY & 0xFFFF) << 16,, ahk_id %hwnd%

ok after spending about 6 hours looking/learning about this (i had the same problem)... in autoit the call would look be this...

$X = 
$Y = 
$windowname = 
$controlID =

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd",  ControlGetHandle ( $windowname, "", $controlID ), "int",   0x0201, "int", BitOR (0x0001, 0x0008), "long",  _MakeLong($X, $Y))
    
DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SendMessage", "hwnd",  ControlGetHandle ( $windowname, "", $controlID ), "int",   0x0202, "int", BitOR (0x0001, 0x0008), "long",  _MakeLong($X, $Y))

Func _MakeLong($LoWord,$HiWord)
  Return BitOR($HiWord * 0x10000, BitAND($LoWord, 0xFFFF))
EndFunc

btw this is in the form of a dll call, but it is the same as _sendmessage function and autohotkeys PostMessage
