I have a front end for several emulators..

one emulator will not go into fullscreen unless I press alt+enter

I tried

{enter}!

and it says that

"error at line 18"

Line Text: enter}!
Error: This line does not contain a recognized action.

The program will exit

I have no idea to go back in and edit it again.. it did it automatically the first itme I launched it.. can someone help me out?

Look at the Send[ command.

F9::send !{enter}

This sends alt enter every time you hit F9.

so would this work?

SendMode, Input

; Sleep (How long to wait in milliseconds between moves.)
SleepAmount = 50

Send {enter}!

SleepAmount = 50

[color=red]Sleep, %sleepamount%[/color]

Send {enter}!

assuming you want to sleep the duration set in the variable (as opposed to just writing Sleep 50), I've fixed your code for you

He put F9 at the beginning because he was turning F9 into a hotkey for Alt+Enter to demonstrate what the code would look like

ahhh i see,

thank you guys you are really helpful, I just want to launch autohotkey.exe to prese the keys after a few seconds

I'm using a program called Maximus ARcade to launch several emulators, but one kept launching in windowed mode, Maximus arcade gives you the option of launching a program before the emulator, during, or after

so this helps a lot!

I'll let you guys know i fit works when I get to my desktop (it's currently not accessible)

Thanks!

I think this should work fine

I would use WinWaitActive

WinWaitActive , WinTitle ;Replace WinTitle with the actual title
Send !{Enter}

ok.. so it would be

WinWaitActive , PCSX2.exe ;Replace WinTitle with the actual title
Send !{Enter}

and I just ran across something.. when I launch the autohotkey.exe does it press alt+enter each time I launch it? Or does it have to assigned to a key (like the previous person who suggested f9)?

I'm trying to make it so launching this program alone will do alt+enter without any further button presses.

and by that i mean, the front end will automatically launch autohotkey.exe when it launches pcsx.exe and I want it to press "alt+enter" not to long after the game begins.
