Here is my first AHK script Very Happy

Code:

$F7::
Loop
{
if GetKeyState("F8", "P")
break
ControlSend, , 2, Untitled - Notepad
Sleep, 100
}
Return

What will happen is, if you hit F7, the 'Untitled - Notepad' will constantly typing out the word 'Apple' until you hit F8 to stop it.

The question is, if I have two 'Untitled - Notepad', one is active, the other is not. How to command it to send the word 'Apple' to the non-active 'Untitled - Notepad' only?

Please help

This should do it (sorry but no time to test it).

Code:

WinGet, UntitledList, List, Untitled - Notepad
if (UntitledList0 != 2) {
MsgBox, There must be exactly 2 windows titled "Untitled - Notepad" for this script to work
ExitApp
}

$F7::
if IfWinNotActive, ahk_id %UntitledList1%
InActive := UntitledList1
else
InActive := UntitledList2

loop
{
if GetKeyState("F8", "P")
break
ControlSend, Edit1 , Apple, ahk_id %InActive%
Sleep, 100
}
Return

Thanks for your reply... Anonymous Smile

But, when I start your code (with 2 untitled notepads opened), the MsgBox came up straight away, then the script exited when I click 'Ok'...

I need your help again... Embarassed

My bad Sad

Code:

Replace: if (UntitledList0 != 2) {
with: if (UntitledList != 2) {

I tested it this time. Very Happy

Code:

$F7::
Loop
{
if GetKeyState("F8", "P")
break
ActiveWindow := WinExist("A") ;gets id of active window
ControlSend, , 2, Untitled - Notepad, , ahk_id %ActiveWindow% ;exludes the active window
Sleep, 100
}
Return

This one will basically never send to the active window.
