Does Tcl Support "SendKey" And "SendMessage" (For Controlling Other Windows Applications)?

22/09/2003

Does Tcl includes the ability to control other applications, e.g. notepad? Other programming languages provide commands like Sendkey (VB) or Sendmessage (VC). So I can executing notepad, putting text into textbox and saving that in a file. That's all possible because of controlling menuoptions by sending Windows-Messages ... It is possible in Tcl too? - RS: See tcom for COM support, but not sure whether Notepad understands that.. - JPT: You could also try cwind (http://mini.net/tcl/5019 ). I've used it once and it did the (simple) job I had to do.
