pradeep,krishna has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hai monks....

Is there any module in perl supporting the interaction with a window which is minimized or not in foreground(Active).
I know how i can bring an which is minimized or not in foreground(Active) to foreground and interact with a window in foreground(Active) using win32 module. But not with the window which is minimized or not in foreground (Active).

thanks in advance..

Pradeep Krishna :)

    You want to interact with a window sitting inactive in the background without activating it proper and bringing it into the foreground.

    Just out of curiosity: Why? Why is bringing it into the foreground not a good idea?

    perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

      I suspect becuse they've found out that they can't use Win32::GuiTest to send keystrokes to a window when the screen is locked, and they're trying to work around the problem by leaving the session unlocked but minimising the window, which also won't work.
