Sending KeyStrokes

[Jackster]

1) Is it possible to send keystrokes to an application without the window being focused? (In AutoIt)

2) If I want to send "Hello world!" do I have to do this:

Send ("{H}")
Send ("{e}")
Send ("{l}")
Send ("{l}")
Send ("{o}")
Send ("{SPACE}")
Send ("{W}")
Send ("{o}")
Send ("{r}")
Send ("{l}")
Send ("{d}")
Send ("{!}")

or is there an easier way to do that?

Okay thanks, never knew we could do that. I'll look for the control send help documentation.
