Hello,

Hi milan,

use AutoIt. Or try to fiddle with Windows API function calls to manipulate windows of other applications…

You need to activate that field somehow. Most applications support TAB. Try manually first too see what key-presses you need.

Oh, and you may want/need to activate that application window too:
