Utility: SendMessage v2.2

[Henki]

hi
I've got a small problem with sendmessage.

I use Nielm's "Dynamic Customizable Main Menu” and have made a button within sage that sends a message to Meedio to grab focus. I've tried to do this with SendMessage 2.2, but because I don't have Meedio's window name the arguments are:

sendmessage.exe -C H2-WM-COMMAND -N "" -M 273 -W 45 -L 0

This works great with a batch file. But this doesn't work in an xml file because of the quotes.

Is the any way I can use something else than the quotes. Preferably nothing...

Have you tried using " in your xml file?

Hello,

I've successfully created a script utilizing send message to toggle full screen mode, even if Sage does not have focus. Unfortunately, if Sage is minimized my script does not successfully run. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to utilize sendmessage to restore a minimized window, such that I can then toggle full screen off and on (or take any other required action)?

Thanks,
Dave

Maybe I'm missing the obvious but, how do you determine which client to send to?
I have two clients setup but only want to send to the one in the bedroom.

TNX in advance,

I'm not sure I understand... are you trying to control a client on another computer? This program only sends Windows messages to another program on the same Windows computer where the utility is running.

OooooKay, Now I get it.
I'm looking for a way to use the FM radio plugin on my Bedroom client as an alarm clock. I can set HomeSeer to send command at any time or day. I was hoping that this might work. Oh well, thanks for the fast reply.

Has something changed w/ the latest Beta and SendMessage?? I'm getting an error now.

What's the error? It worked fine for me when I tested it a couple minutes ago.
