ActivateWindow within remote session

[fabiano]

ActivateWindow apparently doesn't work if you are in a remote session and then minimizes the Remote Desktop Connection window.

I've written a script that sends an {ENTER} command for windows titled "Succeeded" and "Error". This script runs on a remote server. If I have the remote server RDC window open, the AutoIt script works wonderfully.

However, if I minimize the RDC window, the script seem unable to work.

The script is as follows:

$var = 1
$title_succeeded = "Succeeded"
$title_error = "Error"

Do
    If WinExists($title_succeeded) Then
        Local $hWnd = WinWait($title_succeeded, "")
        WinActivate($hWnd)
        WinWaitActive($title_succeeded)
        Send("{ENTER}")
        WinClose($title_succeeded)
    Endif
    If WinExists($title_error) Then
        Local $hWnd = WinWait($title_error, "")
        WinActivate($hWnd)
        WinWaitActive($title_error)
        Send("{ENTER}")
        WinClose($title_error)
    Endif
Until $var = 0

Is this the intended behavior for ActivateWindow? How can I automatize the action of closing windows titled "Succeeded" and "Error" without having to have the Remote Desktop Connection window open?

 

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Use ControlSend instead of Send and see if that works.

I changed the script a little bit, and used ControlSend instead of Send:

$var = 1
$title_succeeded = "Succeeded"
$title_error = "Error"

Do
    If WinExists($title_succeeded) Then
        Local $hWnd = WinWait($title_succeeded, "")
        WinActivate($hWnd)
        ControlSend($title_succeeded, "", "Button", "{ENTER}")
        WinClose($title_succeeded)
    Endif
    If WinExists($title_error) Then
        Local $hWnd = WinWait($title_error, "")
        WinActivate($hWnd)
        ControlSend($title_error, "", "Button", "{ENTER}")
        WinClose($title_error)
    Endif
Until $var = 0

Now it seems to be working.

Thank you very much!
