Run script on an unfocused window so I can stull use computer while it runs?

[killmenext]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to run my script on a window that is not focused, so I can still utilize the computer for other tasks while my script is running. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Killmenext

ControlClick , ControlSend .

I tried to look it up but I dont exactly understand the syntax of its usage.

If I may, I will post the code and if you could demonstrate a little on how to actually use the code, I would be great appreciative. I will just follow your lead to complete the rest. the window name is "Darkfall Online" and it is darkfall.exe
