Description

I am trying to write a GUI-script which should run unmanned (without a user session) on a remote computer (our buildserver). I occasionally take a look at itäs desktop and manage the computer using a remote desktop session. I have written a script, which works well on my computer as well as at the remote computer, when I have a user (desktop) session with them. However, when there is no session, the script does not run .. stops right in the beginning where I would first check a target window and interact with it. As there are many Windows concurrently open at the remote computer and possibly a virtual window at front (since no session is open) and new active windows (of other apps) may emerge at any time when the script is running, there is a possibility that commands may go to wrong window ..despite of various wait-functions. What would make script more robust, would be an option to target / direct ALL virtual-key and mouse + window title and text interactions to ONE SPECIFIED PROCESS. I would see this as a function that could be called in the script, for example. ForceTargetProcess("thecontrolledtargetapplication.exe"). Has this been thought before? This feature would make the scripts more robust. I Would be very glad to see support for this! (and think that this is a general Milky Way -class feature for any GUI-scripting language). Other current features of AutoItV3 seem to be well thought and quite completely produced - so thank you for this product!

Sounds like an "I'm too lazy to correctly identify the correct application so I want you to do it for me" feature. Seriously, this takes less than 10 lines of code to write yourself depending on what you are trying to do.
