If window exists, minimize and sendcontrol

[jmcall10]

Hi,

I have tried and failed to achieve what I believe to be a fairly easy task.

Basically I want to find a window with a particular name. For this example lets use notepad.

The first obstacle is that there are two windows with very similar but always different names. for example "window 1.txt - Notepad" and "window 2.txt - Notepad".

I can find the window I want ok and minimize it, however I cannot send text to the window I minimized.

I tried getting the ID however I couldn't get it to work.

Can anyone offer any help?

Not all windows will let you send text to them while minimized. Notepad should, though, I think. Are you sure you are getting the correct handle for the window? Can we see your code?

I will post code in a few hours (unable to access my code at present)

How can I tell if the windows I am using accepts text or not when minimized.

Thanks for the help.

The only way to tell really is to just try it and find out, unfortunately.
