eg.triggerEvent()

[Neywiny]

is there a way to trigger an event not under main? like under keyboard?

[Sem;colon]

yes.

Code: Select all

eg.TriggerEvent(prefix="keyboard", suffix="myEvent")

[Neywiny]

okay so that works as far as the log goes, but how do I get it to actually do the event? (I know how to emulate keystrokes, I want it to actually preform another event to the system)

[krambriw]

Ehhh...put the code above into a python command or script, save, then execute

[Neywiny]

haha no, that's not what I mean. I execute the code, and it prints the event to the log, but when I tell it to execute Keyboard.E, for testing purposes, t just prints to the log and doesn't do Keyboard.E. That's what I meant.

[Sem;colon]

Of corse not, events and commands are two totally differend things.
If you what eventghost to emulate the keypress you can't use TriggerEvent.
Btw. There is an action in eventghost that can emulate keypresses.

[Neywiny]

well finally the no I dreaded, as I said before I know that I can emulate keystrokes, I wanted to emulate something other than a keystroke, an event that showed up in the log, but I appreciate the help anyway,

[Sem;colon]

Ok, I'm confused, you don't what to emulate a key press but you also don't want an event that looks like a key was pressed without the key being pressed?

[Neywiny]

this may sound a *bit* rude, but if you actually read the thread, I say that I need to be able to trigger an event from code, and that I know how to emulate keystrokes. I want to do things that aren't keyboard controlled.

[krambriw]

Your explanations are confusing me too so better improve the details in what you wanna achieve. Otherwise, not much we can help
- put in screenshots, code samples etc etc

[Neywiny]

I want to do one things and one thing only: from code, trigger an event that would happen normally in the computer. That's it. that includes, emulated keypresses, shutting off screens, activating windows, locking the computer, etc. I am not having an issue with the code, so there is no need to post it. I just want to know if there is a way to trigger a windows event.

[krambriw]

if there is a way to trigger a windows event

Now we are talking, your question was not formulated like that from the beginning

Have you looked at the Window/Send Message action?
