Windows Server 2012 and AutoIT Script!

[staufi90]

Hey guys, i need your help!

I use some simple AutoIt Scripts so click on different positions on some homepages.
That's a example.

MouseClick("left", 2049, 12, 1, 1)
sleep(100)
MouseClick("left", 2049, 12, 1, 1)
sleep(500)
MouseClick("left", 2320, 291, 1, 1)
sleep(500)
MouseClick("left", 2506, 400, 1, 1)

 

It works. So now my problem. I want to use this scripts on a Windows Server 2012. The scripts only works when i have a active RemoteDesktopConnection.

So i search on google and found some info that it could work with ControlClick.

My Idea from the help box but it didn't work...

ControlClick("Binary Options Trading | MarketsWorld - Google Chrome", "", "[CLASS:Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND; INSTANCE:1]", "left", 1, 394, 293)

 

This is the summery from the AutoIT Window Info:

I just have to ask...why would you be browsing a Trading site (or any site, for that matter) on a server??

[staufi90]

I use this AutoIT scripts to trade automatically on Trading Sites. I develop some indicators for MT4. So the script do my work

I think the point he was trying to make is, why are you doing something so dumb as to surf the web on some trading sites, on a server?

[staufi90]

Oh easy reply. The script placed trades for me on this sites.

I use a server because i don't want that my pc runs 24hours a day.

I use a server because i don't want that my pc runs 24hours a day.

The cost of running a PC 24/7 is much less than a server.  I think a valid concern that JLogon and BewMan may share with myself (as would most any server admin) is that web activity on a server is a bad idea.  Exposing a server to the web unnecessarily--without proper protections--increases the risk of being compromised.  It's kind of like smoking...you could smoke every day and never get cancer, but the chances of it happening increase with direct relation to usage (dumb analogy I know).  Not that it's any of my business, but if the server performs (an)other essential system function(s) that clients rely on why risk it being compromised; and if the server does nothing else but is used to automate trading, that would be even more so a reason to use a PC.

Just some food for thought.

 

To actually address your question ControlClick can be tricky--if even possible--when used with non-standard controls. Certain controls respond to mouse click messages and I believe this is what the controlclick function is designed to do. One of these links may lead you down the right path, but by first-glance it may nott be as simple as telling the script to "click here".
