ControlSend To Entire Window

[PaulLeavitt]

Hello! I'm trying to open a new window within a program, which is accomplished manually by pressing {Ctrl}r. I can accomplish this by using Send {Ctrl}r, but I can't figure out how to make it work with a ControlSend command. I use ControlSend a lot, but it's always for sending requests to discrete controls, not to entire windows. I tried simply omitting the control parameter, and using ahk_id %ControlHwnd%, but neither of them cause anything to happen. What might I be doing wrong?

Control [paramter]:
<snip>
If this parameter is ahk_parent, the keystrokes will be sent directly to the target window instead of one of its controls (see Automating Winamp for an example).

For example:

Code: Select all

ControlSend, ahk_parent, {Ctrl}r, ProgramTitle

Though I think you might've meant {Ctrl down}r{Ctrl up}
