Thanks, I'll try if this works and get back to you about it

Well, that's the problem. Because the statement for the macro to activate will stay true when I'm not at the keyboard - because the window stays in front. That's why I thought with going when the content of a control changes - but i'm totally at a loss here on how I'd go about that.

Hello MacEx Community.

I have an application which pops up from time to time. When the application pops up, I have to press a certain key.

I've tried to use Controls, when the Window has Focus / is on Top, send the key.

My problem here is, that it sends the key over and over again, adding a "Macro Stop" in the Macro Editor didn't help. Another problem is, that when I leave the PC, and the window Pops up again, it should again send the designated key.

There is a Control in the application which changes each time it pops up, but I wasn't able to work out how to use this correctly unfortunately. In the Helpfile or Tutorials I unfortunately haven't found anything that would help with this problem.

Would anyone have any insight, how to tackle this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
