Smiley357 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Ok I dont get it. All the post I have read say to use Controlsend() to send text to a minimized window. I have tried and it doesnt work for me. Could someone explain what Im doing wrong? Here is my code. $hGUI = WinGetHandle(Run("notepad.exe")) WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad") Sleep(4000) ControlSend("Untitled - Notepad" , "", $hGUI, "This is a line of text in the first notepad window {enter}") It is simple. Opens up notepad and gives me 4 seconds to minimize notepad then suppose to send the text the minimize notepad. What happens is notepad opens I minimize it and no text is sent to notepad. If I dont minimize it the text is sent to notepad. Can someone please show me my mistake? Thanks for all help and ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted July 14, 2008 Developers Share Posted July 14, 2008 This doesn't look rigth: WinGetHandle(Run("notepad.exe")) The run command returns a handle and the WinGetHandle() needs Title,Text aa parameter. ControlSend() needs the ControlHandle in stead of the Window handle.

Smiley357 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 SOLVED!!! Jos, thank you so much for the help. That answered my question. OMG I was starting to get a headache from beating my head on my desk so much. LOL My goal was to send text to 2 different windows that is minimized. Here is my simple code if anyone is having the same issue. AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) Run("notepad.exe") WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad") $handle = WinGetHandle("classname=Notepad") Run("notepad.exe") WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad") $handle2 = WinGetHandle("classname=Notepad") Sleep(4000) ControlSend($handle, "", "Edit1", "AbCdE") ControlSend($handle2, "", "Edit1", "FGHIJ") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentosan Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) I'm using a script wich will run "cmd" but everytime I open another "cmd" Command Prompt window it will write in this last active window. Here is a part from the code: AutoItSetOption ( "WinTitleMatchMode" , 4) WinWaitActive("system32") ;WinWaitActive("[CLASS:ConsoleWindowClass]") handle = WinGetHandle ("classname=telnet") Sleep (1000) ControlSend ($handle,"","","{Enter}") What am I doing wrong ? You are using classname not CLASS. Why ?AutoIt v3 Window Info is showing Class for a window property... Edited July 19, 2008 by mentosan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
