    Need variable sent as keystrokes to third party applications

    I am currently using Worm's keystrokes dll and have no problems when i need to send keystrokes that are predetermined. But I am currently working on a project that requires keystrokes to be sent to an active window. And the keystrokes that I need sent needs to be what is inside a variable. There are several things that I would like to get the keystrokes from. At times I can get the variable from the clipboard using a copy command on the source. Other times I would need to use a user input box from autoplay that would then send the keystrokes to a third party application running underneath. Basically, I need to get input from various sources. Store the input in some type of variable that then can be sent thru some type of sendkeys script. I am somewhat of a newbie to autoplay so my scripting knowledge is limited but learn very fast from examples. Again any help would be very appreciated.

    have you looked at input.GetText("Name of the Input object");
    stores it in the variable result as an example
    Code:
    result = Input.GetText("Input1");
    Dialog.Message("Input result", ""..result, MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
    then you would use the same methode for the key to be sent, and use the resulting string variable as the key to be sent
