Is there anyway to send keys to a APP while its minimized?
Sure, but you have to activate the form first. Open up Notepad and minimize it.
Code:App Activate "Notepad"
sendkeys "% {Down 4} {Enter)", -1
Would this allow me to do other things in the mean time? Or would I have to App Activate everytime before I send a key(s) to notepad?
Whenever you want to send any keys to any prog, the prog has to have the focus, thus you must use appactivate or it will send the keys to itself.
If I used API to send the keys then, then would I be able to do other things while I API?
