AutoHotkey Community

.. Hi there,


I know, there are 3-4 Posts here about that, but they didnt help me alot..
im a complete noob in such things, my first script, and then its a bigone :/


All i need is to send the key "H" to a window called "Darfkall Online" even when the window isnt active (minimized or not, dont matter)

what i tryed out so far is:



Where i get the code was:
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/SendMessage.htm

But i dont get it, 0x111 should stand for a wm_command.. but i dont know what that is..
so im lost at the very first word of the code :/

hopefully someone can help me out here!

thx a lot!

I believe you'd better try using the ControlSend command rather than Post/Sendmessage.

With ControlSend, i can send to an inactive window too?

Ok, this shows me how to put the menus and stuff in..

but all i want is to send a simple letter (hotkey in the game) to the game..

nothing more, i just dont get it..

Winspy wount show me any messages when i press "H"..

It seems you are taking the terms "PostMessage" literally, as in "chat" message, while what PostMessage actually does is posting a "computer" message.

What you want to do is Send a simulated keystroke. Therefore, have a look at Send and ControlSend (which can send to an inactive window).

Dont know why it wont work, maybe the game is made that it wont work?

If using IE, this should work:
