Hi, I have an application with combobox that contains names of currently running applications. As I understood from msdn library, SendKeys method can send keys only to active application. Is it somehow possible in .NET, to send keys also to inactive app? Or at least in WinAPI ? ...
Those two useful classes are both under the System.Windows.Forms reference.... I can't see much relation between those and winforms.. Does anybody know why they're there? thanks. ...
Is there a way to automate an old DOS application (16-bit, probably needs an emulator such as DOSBox) from Python (on Windows)? I would like to send keys and strings to the application, detect updates to the DOS "screen" and get the application output. It would be even better if the DOS application could run "hidden", i.e., not showing ...
In Moc10.6, I want to put a active application to de-active, or minimize by Python I know I could use sendKey in Windows with Python, then what about in Mac? Thanks, guys! ...
A change in a vendor's WinMo application forces me to jump through some hoops to avoid forcing my users to log in every time. This is highly inconvenient as A) my users are farmworkers who aren't highly sophisticated and B) the application is not sensitive in the sense that there is any meaningful data associated with running the app on ...
The latest Python Sendkeys module is for Python 2.6. I can't upgrade it myself as it needs the C module to be recompiled. Does anyone know of a fairly easy alternative way to send keys to a window? Using win32ui.FindWindow() I can find the right window, then make it active with PyCWnd.SetActiveWindow(), so all that's needed is a simple...
Situation: A GUI app contains functionality (off a menu option) that produces a frequently updated image to a directory. A logged-in, running instance of the app is the ONLY source for this image (functionality 'reliant' on display device). I have researched this to death - it is a sad fact. The GUI application offers COM interfaces, ...
My application uses SendKeys to navigate through and enter data into the input fields (I know that is not the bestway to do it, but I have to work with this limitation). Now, I want to make sure that the correct window is active when the SendKeys are at work. One way to do confirm this is to check for the current active window before e...

I am sending keystrokes to other running application by using SendKeys.SendWait. But it is not working if the target application is not minimize. Is anything wrong with this method? What are the other methods to send keystrokes to running application. Code Block that I am using: SetForegroundWindow(handleToApplication); Sys...
I have a Python program that sends keystrokes to another application using SendKeys. Some of the keystrokes, however, must be sent to the application after it does some processing (which takes an unknown amount of time). So far I have had to let the Python application know the processing was finished by Alt+Tabbing back to the DOS window...
I'm automating some common GUI tasks I have to do in an application, and I'm using a Python program and SendKeys to do it. So far I've had to activate the application I'm sending keys to (since SendKeys just sends the keystrokes to the active window), but I'd like to be able to send keystrokes to an application in the background. Is ther...
I have to use SendKeys to send a filepath to a text box in VB6. The code is like this - cSK.SendKeys "c+(:)\Test.txt" I have replaced the : with +(:) to enable SendKeys to type out : and not ; (It is like holding the shift key down). My problem is - when I execute this code, it all works fine but the text that is typed into the text...
I am having a weird problem with SendKeys.Send Basically what happens is this. I have Internet Explorer in focus at google.com and I call SendKeys.Send("TestSample\n"); it sometimes sends some keys twice (like TeestSample or TestSSSample) in an unpredictable way. It happens about 20% of the time. Also, when I include a space in the str...
I am using SendKeys.Send("{HOME}") in a MaskedTextBox to bring the cursor to the beginning of the textbox when the text is empty. When I try to close the project the application freezes if it doesn't have focus. How do I put this application in focus before I call SendKeys? Public Class Form1 Private Sub MaskedTextBox1_GotFocus(ByVa...
I am trying to use the SendKeys() command to another window with my VB6 app. What I wanted is to click a button, and then have 10 seconds to go to the other window before the app sends some keys to that window.

I created a simple test with SendKeys, and tried both SendWait and Send.
