Try putting a space between the 'SHIFTDOWN' --> Shift Down.

Perhaps use LSHIFT or RSHIFT?

Not sure if that would matter, you could also use WinGetHandle and use the handle in there instead :/ maybe that would work?

{SHIFTDOWN} no Shift Down but thanks

Need that to work with only WindowName

[AwAke]

Why not try;

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
$hwnd = WinGetHandle($windowname, "")
ControlSend($hwnd, "", "", "{SHIFTDOWN}")

Are you trying to minimized a window when SHIFTDOWN is pressed or send a keystroke of SHIFTDOWN to that window?

Are you trying to minimized a window when SHIFTDOWN is pressed or send a keystroke of SHIFTDOWN to that window?

I wanna send a keystroke of SHIFTDOWN to that window for any time ( example 100000 miliseconds )

or only keystroke of SHIFTDOWN to that window but must be used for a script time ( Example me holding keyboard button with SHIFTDOWN and dont do SHIFTUP )

Btw Send("{SHIFTDOWN}") Works but need to use that in minimalized window

Perhaps posting your code so we can see what you have atm?

While  1 
    $T_INIT = TimerInit()
    Do
        ControlSend($WindowName, "", "", "{SHIFTDOWN}")
Until TimerDiff($T_INIT) >= 800000000 ;3000  miliseconds = 3 seconds
    Sleep(100)
WEndoÝ÷ Ø:²{p¢¹ØZºÚ"µÍÙ[
    ][ÝÞÔÒQÕÓI][ÝÊ

works ok but need to hold button in minimalized window.

Might want to relook your TimerDiff() anyway;

Returns the time difference (in milliseconds) from a previous call to TimerInit().

>= 800000000ms?

I am new to this but I thought that you had to provide a ControlID to the ControlSend function. You might want to use the AutoIt3Info utility to get the ControID and then use that in your ControlSend.
