SendKeys and Excel VBA

[sswcharlie]

Hi

I am looking for examples of AutoIt using sendkeys.

What I would like to use is from an Excel VBA to call the AutoIt.exe file and then take a value from Excel (say cell D4 text  'abc') and sendkeys to an app (the only other open application). Could be Word, Notepad, Arduino monitor, etc. any and only 1 of which will be open.

Where would I find such examples ?

Please have a look at the Excel UDF that comes with AutoIt to read Excel values. 

To send keys to an application check Send or Controlsend.

Please take also a look in VBA manuals / google regarding VBA and SENDKEYS as you can do your stuff like notepad most likely directly from VBA.

Otherwise I would suggest to write your whole solution in AutoIT and not mix VBA and AutoIT complicating your solution.
