hi

i want do a keypresser for a game...
for moment i can use sendkey with game window on screen and active.

Can i do same with windows minimized, via handle (then i could launch 2 or 3 client of game and send at each a key) ?

For example send a "A"

Regards

You cannot send a key to a minimized window using Send.

You must use SetFocus on a window before you can do Send or MouseMove commands.

Bob is correct. Send> requires the window and also the field of the window be focused to receive text.

Some windows can use SetControlText>. Look up SetControlText in help.
