How to auto type in other program?

[MamboWumbo]

Hello guys currently I'm stuck, my AHK script won't type my text in another program here is my code

Code: Select all

Run, C:\Users\File.exe,,, GTX01
sleep 5000
ControlSend,, {1},  ahk_pid %GTX01%  ;type 1234 (but wont work, the script stuck there)
ControlSend,, {2},  ahk_pid %GTX01% 
ControlSend,, {3}, ahk_pid %GTX01% 
ControlSend,, {4},  ahk_pid %GTX01% 

Sorry, im very new into programming, i think that spam "ControlSend" wasn't good, and how to make it efficient? thanks!

You can test the following.

Code: Select all

Run, notepad,,, GTX01
WinWaitActive, ahk_pid %GTX01%
ControlSend,, 2

Unfortunately, ControlSend does not work in all windows. You can try ahk_parent as the control name. Tips for games sometimes help.

I would also display the PID so that you can ensure that a value is present. I would probably first see if you can send to the window without specifying a PID, but perhaps try ahk_exe File.exe.

Of course, if your target window is active, you can use Send instead of ControlSend.
