Citrix and Keyboard input

[Juvigy]

1. I have a citrix desctop that cant install anything on.

2. I have a list of names.Lets call it VIP list - for example 'John Dow' .

I want to make a small program that runs on the desctop that connects to the citrix that when somebody goes to the Citrix desctop and starts a third party program and types 'John Dow' a popup would appear and say " This is a VIP" . How can i make this work? Any other way i can go instead of raw keyboard monitoring ?

'John Dow'

Search for HotStrings

I found something similar to AutoIt - AutoHotKey. But it supports only V2 and there are a lot of differences.

Can this feature 'hotstrings' be added to AutoIt ?Maybe someone worked on similar UDF?

What i whant to accomplish is : When you tipe 'John Dow' a msg box to pop up and say "This is VIP"

[PhoenixXL]

Download HotString from

and then Try This

#include <HotString.au3>

HotStringSet('John{SPACE}Dow','This')

Func This()
MsgBox(0,'','This is a VIP')
EndFunc

While 1
Sleep(10)
WEnd

Thanks - the search didnt find this UDF - i searched for "Hotstrings".

'John Dow' doesnt work though - if i put 'John' only it works.

I tried 'John{Space}Dow' but this doesnt work either.

Found it:

HotStringSet('john'&'{Space}'&'dow', "examplefunction")

it works for me maybe you could try with StringLower i.e. 'john{space}dow'

[Juvigy]

This works for me - HotStringSet('john'&'{Space}'&'dow', "examplefunction") - strangely 'john{space}dow' didnt work.

Edit:

I am doing something like this:

For $i= 1 to UBound($users)-1 step 1

HotStringSet($users[$i][6], "examplefunction")

Next

Where $users is array containing all the VIP users.

How can i know which hotstring has called the example function?:

Func examplefunction()

MsgBox(0,"","This is VIP -"$Trigger)

EndFunc

I dont want to create different example function for every VIP user...
