ControlClick script not working when tried on different pc's

[methodman]

I've got a short script part of a larger program that should work as follows:

Program A is activated and in focus.

Program B is a background application.

When I press a hotkey, a 'start' button from Program B should be clicked while still in Program A.

The clicking of the start button code is below (minus the hotkey functionality).

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) ;
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiRichEdit.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <TrayConstants.au3>
Opt("TrayMenuMode", 3);
StartButtonClick()
Func StartButtonClick()

   $t = ControlGetText("[Class:WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.378734a]","", "[Class:WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app.0.378734a;INSTANCE:6]");
   ;WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app.0.378734a
   ConsoleWrite("Start button:" & $t);
   if ($t == "Start") Then
      ControlClick("[Class:WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.378734a]","", "[Class:WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app.0.378734a;Instance:6]");
   Endif
EndFunc

This code works fine on my laptop, but I cannot seem to get it to work on my desktop pc - the code does nothing. The only way I can get it to work is if Program B is activated and in focus, which defeats the purpose of the larger program 

Both are running windows xp and Au3info gives the same info when looking at window and control info when run on the laptop and the desktop.  

I am pretty new to autoit - any thoughts?

Look at the remarks of

ControlClick

You might need to do something else, like make a file.  If the file exists, do what your button press would do.

Are you remoting into the desktop?

Are you remoting into the desktop?

No just booting up the desktop and logging in as normal.

Hmm ok. I'll have a more detailed look at the remarks for controlclick later on today - thanks for your help
