    Hi,
    I have a really simple question. Can someone please give me some example code to send CTRL-S to a window. I can get the window handle, I just don't know how to send CTRL combos.

    Thanks,
    RIchard

    Use the SendKeys statement.

    The Ctrl is represented by ^. Therefor, you can use the following method to send Ctrl+S

    Code:
       AppActivate "MyApp"
   SendKeys "^" + "V"

    Use setforegroundwindow instead of using appactivate, as you may not know what youre app's caption is if it's changing, also another apps caption can interfere. And you said you got the handle, all you need is to pass it
    Code:
    Declare Function SetForegroundWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
