Re^2: Sending The key {ENTER} using WMSetText function in win32 module.

in thread Sending The key {ENTER} using WMSetText function in win32 module.

um, no , you linked the postmessage constant, which can be used with a hwnd which is not active

the guitest docs say $set = WMSetText($hwnd,text) where $hwnd is the id of the window

Its not unlike hwndSendKeys

win32 is for real programmer -- there is nobody to help :D

I'm sure OP would appreciate a short but complete example illustrating how this can be achieved. Thanks. Apologies, I've never found MSDN documentation to be great to use :)	[reply]

Ah, so simply: `WMSetText($hwnd, "herp\r\nderp\r\n");` [download] which works works on a non active window. Thank you, I'd missed this in the docs.	[reply] [d/l]
