[Need help] Auto click in minimized window. <EDIT: DONE!>

[Stefanowski]

Hello.

I'm new to AutoIt.

I've heard many good things about this program.

I'm sure that it's possible, but I don't know how.

And here it goes:

I want my program (made with AutoIt) to click F1 all the time in specified application window, even when it's minimized.

It can do single clicks all the time, or simulate something like key being holded down. I mean I press F1 and I keep it pressed.

Let's say that the application name is "App1 window".

So... Can anyone of You expirenced AutoIt users help me with it?

I'd be glad to have program like this.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

It's done. For every1 who wants it:

While 1=1
ControlSend("Client", "", "", "{1 DOWN}")
WEnd

Great

Try the help file. It can be found at Start -> All programs -> AutoIT -> AutoIT Help File. Good luck with your coding.

There is a very extensive Helpfile installed in the AutoIt3 program directory. (F1 in SciTE)

I'm gonna try to code my 1st program Wish me luck.

btw: I'll post the results.

[Stefanowski]

I made this:

WinActivate("Client")
If WinActive("Client") Then

Send("{1 down}")
endif

But it doesn't work as I want it.

1st of all I don't want to press key in activated window. I want the key being pressed while "Client" is minimized on START bar.

2nd: key "1" isn't really holded down. When i run my program it's being pressed only once. How to make it being really hold down? Or maybe press the button infinite times?

Send("{1 }")

^ This one taps the button only once.

Help plz

[Stefanowski]

Need help. please...

I made

WinActivate("Client")
While 1=1
Send("{1 DOWN}")
WEnd

It should press that key all time now.

But how about clicking it in NOT activated window, minimized....?
