Using ControlSend for a window that got no Controls

[Derak]

Hi guys,

You all know that the template of the command ControlSend() is as follows:

ControlSend ( "title", "text", controlID, "string" )

The window I'm dealing is for a game. I've tried to use "Autoit Window Info" to detect any controls in game window but only gave me that it CLASS is CLIENT. I've even tried this though I don't if it's written right but with no success:

ControlSend ( "game client", "", "[CLASS:CLIENT]", "123" )

(The window title is not that but I'm sure that I'm writing it right in my code ^^)

I know how to use ControlSend() with Notepad because I can detect "Edit1" as a control there. However I'm now stuck with this game >.<

Btw, I'm trying to send keys to a window while it's in the background. So don't bother suggesting to use Send()

Any help will be appreciated

let ID to 0... example:

ControlSend ( "game client", "", "", "123" )

let ID to 0... example:

ControlSend ( "game client", "", "", "123" )

Tried it...

With your code (ID=0), it's only keeping the game window active at all time and without sending any keys. Also, You can not go to any other windows as it get you back to the game window. ID=0 with ControlSend() is like using SendKeepActive()

Any other suggestions?

ohh... to let it blank

Yeah now it's working but its still keeping the window active all the time.

And yeah.... my title is right because I got it using WinGetTitle("")

maybe the game has some sort of warden that keeps the window active... dunno

I think you're right

Your codes are working perfectly with Notepad. (Sending Keys to Notepad while the Notepad window in the background)

Actually, the command Send() works with the game fine but I need to let the game active. I'm just looking for a way to do it while the game in the background

what game is it?

Alright, here is the whole idea (I hope it helps)

I'm just trying to make a program that Auto Presses Numbers from 1 to 5 ("12345").If you know the game, That's for choosing the attacks from the shortcut bar bellow. I have the codes for that using Send() :

(I'm not that good in coding but I'm trying my best )

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

HotKeySet( "{NUMPAD1}" , "Attack1")
HotKeySet( "{NUMPAD2}" , "A_Grab")
HotKeySet( "{NUMPAD3}" , "Pause")
HotKeySet( "{NUMPAD4}" , "Attack2")
HotKeySet( "{NUMPAD5}" , "GetTitle")
HotKeySet( "{=}" , "Terminate")

$Form1 = GUICreate( "Auto A4", 165, 125)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel( "[ Num 1 ] ", 10, 22)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput( "12346" , 118, 20, 40)
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel( "< Attack > ", 62, 22, 50)
$Label3 = GUICtrlCreateLabel( "[ Num 2 ]   < A-Grab >", 10, 44)
$Label4 = GUICtrlCreateLabel( "[ Num 3 ]   < Pause >", 10, 66)
$Label5 = GUICtrlCreateLabel( "[ Num 4 ]   < A-Grab2 >", 10, 88)
