Input problem, sendkey etc not working

[JRowe]

My problem is relatively simple, I think. Normally, au3irrlicht scene is the active window, however, in this case, the active window is the gui, and the au3irrlicht is a separate process entirely. Because it's embedded, I don't want it to be active. The mouse movement works fine, but i need to redirect the arrow keys, somehow.

How would I send arrow key up/down to the second process?

I could use animators and work out a custom camera, which wouldn't be too hard, but I'd rather use the one that's already there.

The Secondary process which is handling the irrlicht side of things is identified by $CoProc1Process

You'll need CoProc.zip and Au3Irrlicht.zip in order to run this.

I'm fairly sure this is just a controlsend issue, but there aren't any controls I'm sending to that are apparent to me, right off.
