... very useful tool  :up:
 for reach to any search box from one GUI such as FARR

Hi,
do I implement WinSendKeys.exe as a batch file (like .bat) in DOS or in a command window /dos window?
Double- clicking doesn't do it  ;D
Thanks,
Mike

Micha: yes, you need to run WinSendKeys.exe from the command line to pass it arguments

Ath:
Most likely you can configure a command to be executed behind either a button or on a program event. There you could enter an entire command-line for WinSendKeys to do it's useful job. Or if there's not enough space, pass it a keystroke file (using the -f option), or just create a batchfile that does the job.

Can be quite nicely combined with WinButtons, published as a coding snack by myself :up:

OK, so I found a bug, all on my own :up:, oh well, maybe that's not so good after all :tellme:

The fix was small and easy, so here is another update WinSendKeys 3.0.2

Latest release & download moved to separate thread

Here's the changelog since 3.0.1:
; 2011-03-12, version 3.0.2
; ! BugFix in detecting an active application/window
; + Added application version to helpmessage
; * Minor cleanup
; * Adapted the helptext somewhat

The readme was cleaned-up a bit by removing the change history (it's in the source), the source and compiled exe are also included in the attachment
