Ptigrouick Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hello, I'm quite new to AutoIt and I don't know if it is possible to do what I want. Here is my problem : I need to automate some tasks for a computer & screen installed beside the reception in my office building. So I don't want people to see the windows where AutoIt work. Is it possible to send keystroke or commands to a window in the background (and not only the activated window). I searched a reply to my problem inside the AutoIt documentation and wiki without any success. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptigrouick Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I tried to use ControlSend, but I was unable to get any control ID with AutoIt Infio Window Tool. I get a class name, but no ID inside the app I need to automate (Mozilla Firefox). Is there any workaround to use ControlSend in that case ? Thanks for help.

KaFu Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Are we talking about Mozilla Firefox controls, or about website Elements? For the later I'll suggest you take a look at FF.au3:http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...&hl=firefox OS: Win10-22H2 - 64bit - German, AutoIt Version: 3.3.16.1, AutoIt Editor: SciTE, Website: https://funk.eu AMT - Auto-Movie-Thumbnailer (2022-Nov-26) BIC - Batch-Image-Cropper (2023-Apr-01) COP - Color Picker (2009-May-21) DCS - Dynamic Cursor Selector (2024-Feb-16) HMW - Hide my Windows (2018-Sep-16) HRC - HotKey Resolution Changer (2012-May-16) ICU - Icon Configuration Utility (2018-Sep-16) SMF - Search my Files (2023-Jun-03) - THE file info and duplicates search tool SSD - Set Sound Device (2017-Sep-16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaFu Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Hmmm, yeah, now I remember. Have fought with that too while coding FFAddOn. I fell back to extract ShortCut's from FF and just used send(). I don't know any method to access e.g. the right click menu via controlsend(). Take a look at FFAddOn (but the program is focused on performing tasks while FF is maximized). Otherwise take a look at the link I posted above. FF.au3 utilizes MozRepl FF-Plugin to send commands in the background, most of FF's features can be accessed this way.
