The ability to send keys to windows/applications...
Posted: Tue Sep 27, 2011 11:37 pm
Hello,
It would be nice to have the ability to send keys (such as CTRL-T) to a window of choice. I know this can be done using script, etc. But it would be nice to have a cross-platform ability "built in" to LiveCode. (After all, keyboards are still the norm for the desktop.)
It would of course be necessary to be able to identify external windows/applications by IDs in order to make this possible (similar to windowID--but for other windows in addition to stacks). FYI: I am new to LiveCode, so if there is already a way to identify non-LiveCode-app. windows, then I am not familiar with it.
Thanks,
- Boo
