Message: [QUOTE="Michael Linfield, post: 4643084"] Alright, I have the input functions down to translate user input the moment it hits the terminal, however I don't want the user to be typing directly into the terminal for this to work o_O. I wrote a small C++ extension to attempt to bring the window to the front... however sticking the function in a - while true - loop makes it the only window one is able to access!! (basically you can't click on anything till you run the kill script) #### C++ Code #### #include <windows.h> HWND nHandle; int main() { nHandle = FindWindow(NULL, "app1"); SetForegroundWindow(nHandle); return 0; } ################## now "app1" is the title I gave the ruby script via: Win32API.new('user32','SetWindowText',['p','p'], 'L').call(win,txt) Now I'm beginning to understand the different direction I have to move in. Somehow, I want to shove all input to the window handle (which is stored in the "win" variable). How would I redirect all keyboard input to the win handle.. for multiple text programs such as notepad... word... ect. For reference, the problem I run into is that as soon as I click off the command prompt window to make use of inputting text into say.. notepad.. it no longer catches keyboard input. Thanks for any advice, - Mac [/QUOTE]
