Please give more information, what is this "ceratin window", is one of your own GUI's?

Also do you mean GUICtrlCreateInput or InputBox?

Here is some small examples:

$text = InputBox("Title", "Write something")
MsgBox(0, "", $text)

GUICreate("test")
$i = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10)
$b = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 10, 50)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


$gui2 = GUICreate("another window")
$l = GUICtrlCreateLabel("",10, 10, 100, 100)
GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)
    
While 1
    Sleep(10)
    If GUIGetMsg() = $b Then
        GUICtrlSetData($l, GUICtrlRead($i))
        GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $gui2)
    EndIf
WEnd

i have this flash game contained in gui, now i used au3recorder to record the mouse movements and then turned that into a function all works well it simulates the mouse movements exactly and i canget it to type back in box whatever the macro recording me typing and then hit the submit button like i want it too but i want it to pause right before it would send the txt that i wrote and and open up and input box for the user to enter txt then continue on and hit the submit button

trying to explain it so you guys can be more helpful to me as im trying to explain it the best i can

and thanks for your help

Edit:

the code you have as you example is almost what i was looking for except i would like to output that where ever the "blinking Cursor" i guess it would be easier to do whereever text can be written?

i guess something like this example i found except i want it like your code when you press the okay button it closes and the writes the text instead of not closing the input box at all and just waiting while still waiting for the key to be pressed would be it. trying not to make this complicated all i want is a way to do this and i cant figure out how im using this project im working on to learn. any help and id be thankful thank you so much for your help so far Pain

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $file, $btn, $msg

    GUICreate(" My GUI input ", 320, 120, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 160, @DesktopHeight / 2 - 45, -1, 0x00000018); WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES
    $file = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 5, 300, 20)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
    $btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Ok", 40, 75, 60, 20)

    GUISetState()

    $msg = 0
    While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $btn
                Do
                    Sleep(10)
                Until _IsPressed("01")
                Send(GUICtrlRead($file) & "  This is a line of text in the notepad window")
        EndSelect
    WEnd
EndFunc
