Script
Command: SENDINPUT
SENDINPUT
[-AbCd:f:mMSv]
{character(s) to send}
This
command is a wrapper to provide script-level access to the SendInput()
function in Windows. In the nutshell, this allows the user to simulate
keyboard (Virtual Keys) input to other applications (whichever application is in the
foreground).
Options:
-A
invoke characters with ALT key depressed *
-b
move current foreground window
to the back
-C
invoke characters with
CTRL key depressed *
-d
###
delay in
milliseconds prior to making sendinput() call.
-f
{[classname,]windowname}
bring application
the foreground using FindWindow(classname,windowname) to retrieve the
handle.
-m
minimize current foreground window
-M
maximize current foreground window
-S
invoke characters with
SHIFT key depressed *
-v
use low byte of VkKeyScan(ch) for each character
*
not heavily tested
Notes:
- Be aware: Not all ASCII characters map directly to virtual keys, refer to MSDN Virtual Keys for more information.
- Referring
to FindWindow documentation and the -f option....
If
'classname'
is NULL it finds any window whose title matches the 'windowname'
parameter.
If 'windowname'
is NULL, all window names match.
- If
-d and -f are specified, be aware that the delay is inserted after the
application is brought to the foreground and before SendInput() is
called.
Examples:
# Send
Left-arrow key to whichever application is currently in the foreground
SENDINPUT
\x25
# Bring "Programmer's Notepad - [<new>]" to the
foreground and send 12345
SENDINPUT -f "NULL,Programmer's Notepad - [<new>]"
12345
# Bring "Programmer's Notepad - [<new>]" to the
foreground, delay for 2 seconds and send 12345
SENDINPUT -d 2000 -f "NULL,Programmer's Notepad -
[<new>]" 12345
# Same as above, but we can omit the leading "NULL," it will
be implied...
SENDINPUT -d 2000 -f "Programmer's Notepad - [<new>]"
12345
