[MHo] An addition to wait for a window to appear:
======
 proc ::cwind::findwind {title {max 5} } {
      set cur [::cwind::wlist]
      set i 1
      set delay 100
      set max [expr $max*1000/$delay]
      while { [lsearch -glob $cur $title]<0 && $i<=$max} {
            set cur [::cwind::wlist]
            incr i
            after $delay
            update
      }
      if {$i>$max} {puts "Can't find the window : $title"; return 0} else { return $i}
 }

'''''How''' is the [SendKeys] page interesting?''

Well, if someone actually filled it out, it might contain information about techniques for sending keystrokes to tcl applications, which is something that one would want to be able to do when testing an application. Alas, right now there is little info on that page along that line.

Also see [TWAPI] which provides mouse and keyboard input support as part of a broader Win32 API extension (Only explicitly supporting NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP - not Windows 9x).
