Send an input to a specific active/inactive window only

[owopeachy]

Hey there folks ive been trying to figure out how to send a spacebar input to a monster hunter world window, but i cant seem to get it working
from what i understand i should be able to get the right window using ahk_exe and then send a spacebar input with ControlSend and repeat, and it should work even if the window is not active, but i dont really know how to go about this
could u provide any example code?
Thank!

EDIT:
i found this piece which i adapted to do what i'd like, and it works in other windows but not in the game window, any idea why?

Code: Select all

msgbox, Press ctrl+h in the monster hunter window to bind to it, and press f5 to start sending space. To pause inputs, press Pause, to close the script, press End
