Sending input to non visible area of screen? Topic is solved

[Guest2018]

Hi,

On sites like Amazon, Google etc. you normally have a search bar on the top of the site.
When scrolling down, you have to scroll up (or press Home) in order to see that search bar again.
Is it possible with AHK to send inputs to these search bars even though they are not visible?
Sure it's no problem to create a script which scrolls up/presses Home, and types input into the search bars.
(I've already done that.)
However, since AHK can even write data in closed files or controlling background applications (without opening/highlighting them),
it sounds possible to control a non-visible area as well.

On another site there is a chat bar which is placed on the downer left corner.
I always have to scroll down 1 time to type in text and then scroll up 1 more time.
Also here it would be interesting if the scrolling can be eliminated.


Can it maybe help to "cheat" with the screen resolution?
If it's 1280x1024, then the chat window would be somewhere at y = 1224, for example.
Not sure if it would work to send the mouse cursor to that y pos and to type in text.

Thanks for any help.
