controlsend

[Nwb]

Hey, wondering if you could help me write a simple controlsend.
I don't understand how control send works but I need to write a script for a macro.

1) I'm guessing control send is for inactive programs, right?
I need that!

So what do I need to type in for this to happen:
Send F2 in the window.

here's windowspy screenshot of my application, since I don't know which of those are needed.


So That's all I need just the code that will send F2 in the window.
Also would help me if you showed what I need to do the same but with controlclick.

Thanks A lot.

Bad luck. Looks like JAVA. A real PITA

I dont know what PITA is...
and what does that mean? the game can't be controlled?
So I need to run a virtual box or something? will the virtual box work? cus you're controlling the virtual box and indirectly the game right?

a) http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pita
b) JAVAs controls are not as accessible as standard windows controls. To much unreliable workarounds. But I might be wrong.
c) TBH, no idea about that.
