Why does this error?

[Koil]

I want to send SPACE bar to my diablo window every 1.2 seconds but it errors!

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
$handle = WinGetHandle("Classname=DIAWIN", "Diablo II")

While 1

If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Could not find the correct window")
Else
   ; Send some text directly to this window's edit control
    ControlSend("$Handle", "", "", "{Space}" )
    Sleep(1200)
EndIf

Wend

Fix it for a cookie..

EDIT:

ControlSend("$Handle", "", "", "{Space}" )

ControlSend($Handle, "", "", "{SPACE}")

Does this help?

MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Could not find the correct window")

that error, not finding the right window..

Well, you've got a couple of problems.

First, you aren't closing the program if you get an error.

Second, you put $handle in quotes, which is wrong.

I had the window open for a while before I replied.
