Is it possible to ControlSend Shift to 1 app so that anything else running on the system is not effected?

I tried this but it failed

ControlSend($window, "", "", "{SHIFTDOWN}")

Try sending it to the control that requires it.

ControlSend($window, "", "ControlID/ClassNameNN", "+")

By failed, i mean it didn't work. The reason i use controlsend is because the window does not have the specify control since it's a game.

Per the helpfile and our mod, who posted right below me, you DO need to specify a control, if you are using 'CONTROL' send . If you just want to send a key to a window, such as a game, just use the SEND() function after you activate it with WinActivate()

You misunderstand. ControlSend() specifically allows you to send keystrokes to a window without specifying the control so you can just send them to a specified window, which doesn't have to be active (as it would have to for Send).

I'm easily one to admit that i'm wrong; from the wording of the help file, and the fact that the controlID is not marked as optional, I made that assertion. I do apologize that the information i portrayed was wrong. Post deleted

ControlSend ( "title", "text", controlID, "string" [, flag] )

led me to believe that it was required, and

ControlSend works in a similar way to Send but it can send key strokes directly to a window/control, rather than just to the active window.

Looked like a typo

However, perhaps he should just use the key type, instead of name, as smoke stated:

ControlSend($window, "", "", "+")
