Send Key while not focused

[ffrankcool]

Is it possible to send a key/click to a window while it ain't on top of the others/focused !?

If yes could link me the documentation to this.

That's for sending text and I needed this:D but I also need to know what about Mouse clicks?

Edit: So will this work for doing background clicks: ControlClick() ?

Help menu, look for control() functions

Just to clarify, so you guys are saying that all the control() functions can be sent to a minimized/running in background window!? Edited May 3, 2008 by ffrankcool

Some controls will resist clicking unless they are the active window. Use the WinActivate() function to force the control's window to the top before using ControlClick().

Using 2 for the number of clicks will send a double-click message to the control - this can even be used to launch programs from an explorer control!

Yes, run this sample code...

Run("calc")
WinWait("Calculator", "Backspace")
WinSetState("Calculator", "Backspace", @SW_MINIMIZE)
ControlClick("Calculator", "Backspace", "Button10", "", 3)

...and you should have "555" entered in while it was minimized.
