need help compiling a script

I need some assistance compiling a script, and do not know how to compile it. Below are a few elements that I believe should be included (they need to be edited though), but I need help to put it all together.
Essentially what I wish to do is send a keystroke command to my QTtabbar without having to bring it into focus, and I want to send this keystroke from my game controller
ControlSend,,{shift A},WindowName (how do i get the window name)?
Joy13::Send {shift A}
Can anyone assist?

You may want to double-check the {shift A}. Are you trying to send A, +a, or {Shift down}a{Shift up}?

What I'm saying is your syntax isn't correct. You need to use one of the ones I showed you.

I use QTtabbar, and from my tests, it doesn't seem to respond to ControlSend, as is often the case. Some windows just won't accept ControlSend. I tried sending to the window's top control (leaving the control parameter blank), to WindowsForms10.Window..., and to SysListView321, and nothing worked. However, using Send with the QTtabbar window active works, so perhaps you can very briefly bring it into focus for what you're trying to do.

thanks for your reply. hmm. kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a script when QTtabbar has its own shortcuts. I was trying to make my workflow faster by not having to bring QTtabbar into focus.
See my next reply..

i was able to not use QTtabBar for the purpose of launching the script, by using
Code: Select all
Joy11:: run "F:\RE4 modding\-Script.bat"
thanks!

You missed the point.
You wouldn't be bringing it into focus.
The script would briefly bring it into focus, send your shortcut key, then return focus to whatever window had focus. You're looking at what an AHK script can do way too narrowly.
