Send commands to a window?

[Zisly]

Is it possible to make so the program will send commands to a window/program even if it is minimized? so I can do other stuff while running the program?

Thankfull for answers

Yes you can do that. Check out the Control functions in the helpfile

Will do,thanks for the fast response

Edit: I didn't find it :S

Could someone tell me what I should search for in the helpfile to get it? or what the function is called?

Look for functions that start with "Control", e.g., ControlClick()

I think i found it, is it this one?

ControlCommand

Sends a command to a control.

?

If I use that will I be able to do other things while the programs ex send messages in another window?

Only found "GUI control styles" :S

Go to the Index tab, and scroll down until you get to all the "Control..." functions.
