# /notify

## Syntax

**/notify** ***windowname*** **\*\*\_**0\*\*\_**|**\_**controlname**\_\*\* \[ **\_**notification\*\*\_\*\* \[**\_**data\*\*\_\*\*] ]\*\*

## Description

This is used to interact with UI windows instead of using the mouse (/notify cannot be used to interact with objects).

* Entering "0" for *controlname* would send the message to the window itself (used for "close" at least, possibly

  others).
* The use of *data* will usually not be necessary unless you are notifying a slider control or a list.
