Injecting

[populus]

Could someone help me with injecting a simple "send this button to this program" script? I've got the script that send the key. But what's the code to tell it only to send to the program I want it to? I tried the help files, but they weren't much of a help.

I will continue looking for it in the help files. But an answer would be really helpful! (:

Use ControlSend

Or work with WinActivate / Winactive etc

I found ControlSend. But how does it work? This is what I wrote

ControlSend ( "This is the program", "", controlID, "z12" [, 1] )

while 1

send("z")

send("1")

send("2")

sleep(260)

wend

Func quitscript()

Exit

EndFunc

As you can see I am trying to send the keys z12 to this program. And as you probably figured out I am pretty new to this.

As you can see I am trying to send the keys z12 to this program. And as you probably figured out I am pretty new to this.

For starters, in your example:

ControlSend ( "This is the program", "", controlID, "z12" [, 1] )

you'd want to remove the square brackets from the "1" at the end. Square brackets designate that the specified parameter is optional (if you don't need it, you don't have to include it).

Additionally, where "controlID" is shown in the code, you'd want to actually give the name of the specific control ID ("[CLASSNN:Edit1]" or some such).

So, for that particular line, with the example control ID of "[CLASSNN:Edit1]", you'd want to change it to:

ControlSend ( "This is the program", "", "[CLASSNN:Edit1]", , "z12" , 1 )

Hope that helps clear things up a bit.

alright, first of all you dont need the :

send("z")

send("1")

send("2")

you could just write Send("z12"), this will save you time in the future

try this:

CODE

HotKeySet("!x", "exit")

WinActivate("name of window/program");activates the specified window

WinWaitActive("name of window/program") ;this will wait until that program is active and then continue with the script

while 1

send("z12")

sleep(260)

WEnd

Func exit()

Exit

EndFunc

this will repeatedly send "z12" until you hit alt+x [HotKeySet("!x", "exit")]

hope this helps

Additionally, where "controlID" is shown in the code, you'd want to actually give the name of the specific control ID ("[CLASSNN:Edit1]" or some such).

So I put in [CLASSNN:program] and it's still the same.

This thing "CLASSNN" makes no sense to me. What does it stand for? What does it do? /:

Why can't it just be "Send "z""1""2" to "the process of the program"

Tapeworm. That looks alot easier. But now when I run it it says "badly formatted func statement"

Use the info tool to find the classname and number of the control you want to send to.

Look in the help file for the entry on Controls for information on identifying (with the AutoIt Window Info Tool) controls, and their usage.

I think I got it right this time (: It's just the func thingy left. "Badly formatted "Func" statement." And I can't figure that one out.

Line -1

Func exit()

Exit

EndFunc

Maybe I was a bit unclear. When I try to run the script. It says

"Line -1"

"Badly formatted "Func" statement"

What should I do?

[ProgAndy]

Func exit() ...

You mustn't use a key-Word as Function name! (AutoIt is case INsensitive)

You can use this:

Func MyExit()

Exit

EndFunc

[populus]

Now it starts without giving any warning prompts.. But nothing happens except that the window opens.

cant have

func exit()

change it to

func quit()

and on the setkey make it

HotKeySet("!x", "quit")

Thanks everyone for your help. I figured out the last problem. I appreciate it.
