kw_rock Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Quick scripting question with AutoIT. How would I go about sending a command to a program without having it maximized? Say I want to send 12345 to notepad.exe while it's open, how would I do that without having the window active? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludocus Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) ControlSend example: ControlSend("Untitled", "", "Edit1", "This is a line of text in the notepad window") Edited June 18, 2008 by ludocus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Give this example a try Run('notepad') WinWait('Untitled') ControlSend('Untitled', '', 'Edit1', '12345') ControlSend() sends the string direct to the control Edit1. AutoIt Info Tool will supply you with control info needed to recognize controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
