Simulate Key supmission with programm Focus

[KriX]

Hey guys!

I'm new to AutoIt and I've already tested some stuff.

Now I want to make a script witch simulate key submission it should be able to change the focus - from program to program (e.g. Chat - Games...)

And of course it should be able to send these keys in intervals (something around ~5min).

Anyone got a idea how to write that?

Thanks a lot

Welcome to the forums.

The first step will be reading through some entries in the Help file.

For simulating keys, take a look at:

• Send()
• ControlSend()
• and depending on your needs, ControlClick()

For toggling focus on windows:

• WinActivate()

Then, if you encounter any issues with your code that you need help troubleshooting, post a question (with the code you're having trouble with) and the forum members will assist as they can.

ok but how can I send these key submissions in intervals ?

Use a while loop. You may be better off trying to learn how AutoIt works by taking AutoIt 1 2 3. You can find it as a sticky in the example scripts area. I think once you take the course, it will answer most of your questions, and save you loads of headaches. Again, welcome to the forum.

ok now ive done this >

HotKeySet("{ESC}","_Exit")

$Minuten = 5 * 60 * 1000

AdlibEnable("_SendeDaten",$Minuten)

;~ _SendeDaten()

While 1

Sleep(250)

WEnd

Func _SendeDaten()

Send("{a down}")

Send("{a up}")

send("{w down}")

sleep(10)

Send("{w up}")

controlSend("Program Manager","","SysListView321","^a")

EndFunc

Func _Exit

AdlibDisable( )
