Hey, I got Buddy API and am using the following method to send stuff to an outside App.
on sendStuff me step1 = baActivateWindow(getAt(theWin, 1)) baWaitForWindow(getAt(theWin, 1), "active", 300) if step1 = 1 then step2 = baSendKeys("{ENTER}") if step2 = 0 then step3 = baSendKeys(theMsg) if step3 = 0 then step4 = baSendKeys("{ENTER}") if step4 = 0 then step5 = baActivateWindow(baWinHandle()) baWaitForWindow(baWinHandle(), "active", 300) else alert "mess up 4"&&step4 end if else alert "mess up 3"&&step3 end if else alert "mess up 2"&&step2 end if else alert "mess up 1"&&step1 end if end theMsg is a string and theWin is a list that has the correct windows handler. The problem is when this script is run, (for instance with WordPad being theWin), WordPad only halfway comes up (it was minimized), nothing is entered and the mouse locks. The only way to break out is to Ctrl+Alt+Del, and then the movie moves on, having not accomplished its job. Any ideas? W.
