Send a key to multiple windows of the same class Topic is solved

[Ecimeric]

Code: Select all

if !WinExist("ahk_class Qt5QWindowIcon")
    return
else {
    ControlSend, ahk_parent, s, ahk_id %vlcid1%
    ControlSend, ahk_parent, s, ahk_id %vlcid2%
}
return

How can I send s to up to two VLC windows?

I'm not sure VLC reacts to ControlSend, as is the case with many applications' windows. This script will do it by activating each VLC window that is open and using Send. You can experiment with using ControlSend with the structure of this script for acting on all of the VLC window instances.

Code: Select all

WinGet, WinList, List, ahk_class Qt5QWindowIcon ahk_exe vlc.exe
loop, % WinList {
	WinActivate, % "ahk_id " WinList%A_Index%
	Send, s
}

WinGet, WinList, List, ahk_class Qt5QWindowIcon ahk_exe vlc.exe
Loop, % WinList
    ControlSend, , s, % "ahk_id " WinList%A_Index%

Perfect, thank you!
