carthach Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Just to be clear, is there no way to access an internal window or control in a Remote Desktop session with AutoIT? For instance: it's not possible to use ControlSend to access a Notepad instance running in a Remote Desktop session. Basically you have to hope that whatever internal window Remote Desktop has focused is the one you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively run the script within the RDP session which will give you access to the controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder is there any other way of communicating and automating RDP sessions with VB or COMs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilertoaster Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 There is a API for RDP: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383468(v=VS.85).aspx.But it likely doest do what you want. I can't think of a good use case for automating an RDP session. You'd either run an automation script inside the RDP session, or make any necessary changes to files/registry remotely.

Thanks for that link though, looks interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
