AHK Newbie: SendInput to a particular process
(1/1)
mediaguycouk:
Hi all,
I've just written a very simple AHK script to load up VNC and then log into a PC, open IE, go to a website and login. The trouble is that if I click off the window it all breaks.
Is there a way of sending keys to a particular process (and if so how to find the process)? The process is started by AHK in the script.
Thanks
Graham

--- Code: AutoIt ---Run, c:\path\to\my.exe, , , myPID ; myPID will have the started process' ID.
You can then try the ControlSend command for sending keys to a particular process. Controlling a web browser in this manner can be an exercise in frustration, however.

Thanks, that's the perfect command.
Do you see why this doesn't work?
