I'm trying to take a simple code which loops key "9" (with added delay and sleep) and make this run in a game window which is minimized (inactive).
It works perfectly while the game is active/maximized however I'd like to be able to have this run in the background by itself without interfering with other things I have to do.

Here is the code for the simple loop:

loop, 1000
 {
   random, delay, 2000, 5000
   send, 9
   sleep, %delay%
 }
return

end::exitapp

Now I just need someone who can help me integrate that code into something that can make it run in an inactive window.
I've been suggested to use controlsend, however I'm not sure how to place the current with that.
If anyone has any ideas or can help, please let me know.

Replace the send command with controlsend control send needs some other parameters like the name of the window. You can probably leave the control me blank in this case.

Please post what you tried if it still doesn't work.
Also, check the gaming forum or search for your game to see other options. Controlsend doesn't work for all games

Not sure if I did this right, however now it doesn't work at all, not even when it's active.

loop, 1000
 {
   random, delay, 2000, 5000
   ControlSend, 9, ahk_class WFHalcyonClient Window
   sleep, %delay%
 }
return

end::exitapp

Maybe I'm missing something?

that worked 98%...

wait a minute...got it to work %100 by switching ^v with {LCtrl down}{v}{LCtrl Up}

^v wasn't working when window was active, it just spammed the letter v

Ok, so sorry for bumping a thread, but with a change similar to this, you can send clicks in a minimized windows and still use the mouse?

Or if not, I suppouse you can at least be typing with the keyboard?
