Hi All

I have the following code running as console application.

public static class CustomerManager
    {
        public static bool IsCustomerInSession()
        {
            AutoItX3 au3 = new AutoItX3();
            if (au3.WinExists("Request Desktop Control", "There are no customers in the session.  Please invite or wait for customer to join the session.") == 0)
                return true;
            else
                return false;
        }
      
    }

But my problem is that if no user is logged in to the machine the process unable to get correct answer from

au3.WinExists() and it always says that the windows doesn’t exist.

Any Idea how this code will work also if no user logged in to the machine

This is Vm .

You won't be able to get support for that in this forum. It's an AutoIt forum, not C/C++/C#

it is not c# question this is general question regarding WinExist() this is also occur if I run this as script

@rcmaehl: It is AutoIt related - AutoItX. Check the source code.

We have a special forum for AutoItX related questions.

When no user is logged on I don't think there are any windows you can act upon. I would suggest to query for any logged on user and then try to handle the window.

the problem is that I do need this program work also when no user logged in.

So any idea how should I check it?

So your program runs as a service?

[abramovi]

no .. I have a service that open my program as console application

What user is your service running on ? 'system' ? Normally AutoIt GUI functions doesnt work when no user is logged on.
