Hallo,
Notepad accepts this controlsend,
try:

Code: Select all

^5::
ControlSend, , {enter}, ahk_exe notepad.exe
Return

If topgood.exe does not accept it then try it with window active, specification of the control and run script as admin.
E.g. for Notepad:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force
If !A_IsAdmin
	Try Run *RunAs "%A_ScriptFullPath%"
^5::
WinActivate, ahk_exe notepad.exe
ControlSend, Edit1, {enter}, ahk_exe notepad.exe
Return

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force
If !A_IsAdmin
	Try Run *RunAs "%A_ScriptFullPath%"

^5::	


WinActivate, ahk_exe topgood.exe 
ControlSend, Edit1, {enter}, ahk_exe topgood.exe 
Return

Sorry Bro, your code still can't controlsend the {Enter} key

You have used ClassNN = Edit1.
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/ControlSend.htm
Control: Can be either ClassNN (the classname and instance number of the control) or the control's text, both of which can be determined via Window Spy.
If your target control is an edit control, as with Notepad, then try:

Code: Select all

^5::
Control, EditPaste, `r`n, Edit1, ahk_exe topgood.exe 
Return

In order for people to help you, for your part, it's best to provide as much information as possible. Looking at this, I (and I'm sure others) have no idea about what topgood is. Maybe you can provide a screenshot of the program and your attempt? Did you try to use WindowSpy (or such similar programs) to get information about the window you are automating (maybe screenshot that too)? Send with WinExist()/WinActive() might be a little better. Just a few suggestions, if you still can't get it to work.

SOTE, thanks for your suggestion.
WinActive command can fix my problem.

Code: Select all

^5::
WinActive, ahk_exe notepad.exe
ControlSend, , {enter}, ahk_exe notepad.exe
Return
