ControlSend and Java

[initspawn]

Hello,

I've been trying to automate a process to check in the GUI of a Java program for a certain condition. When I use the Autoit Window information tool I don't get anything under the control tab, which seems to be normal for a Java program. I've been able to automate what I need using ControlSend and checking for the condition using ImageSearch but the Java program will not accept ControlSend unless it is the active window. I'd like to run the script while the window is inactive so I can still use the PC but haven't been able to come up with a solution other than a virtual machine. I even tried sysinternals desktops to create a second virtual desktop but that just causes WinActivate to return a failure after you switch to another virtual desktop. Does anyone have any ideas for getting a window to think its active when its not or an alternative to ControlSend that may work?

Thanks.

Also, I've tried the Java Access Bridge but that just causes this Java program to crash. I don't think the developers put the necessary previsions in the program for Java's accessibility tools.

I haven't looked that thoroughly into it, but this UDF should be of use to you:

Let me know if you have any other questions!
