DoOutOfBox Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'm new here. I wanted to know if Autoit can allow me to activate an existing / opened web page at my remote desktop. Can you help with the commands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juvigy Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 You will have to run it on the remote PC. The commands are easy - WinActivate(). Check it in the help file. DoOutOfBox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Is there any option to run the same step from Local Desktop? I'm wondering if Autoit has any other function 'in specific' to activate any opened window which is in a remote desktop?

Juvigy Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 From Local desktop it is a lot more difficult. It think it might work with th Control functions like ControlSend. DoOutOfBox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoOutOfBox Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 The Remarks states: ControlSend() works in a similar way to Send() but it can send key strokes directly to a window/control, rather than just to the active window. So no option. We need know if there is any other set of guidelines to follow while working with remote desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juvigy Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Why not? You can "send" activation command to the window even though it is not active. DoOutOfBox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoOutOfBox Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 So can we conclude that the AutoIT wont run on remote PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juvigy Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 No. It will run. For example using PSEXEC. There are some limitations. DoOutOfBox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudw2k Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'll try to illustrate it: PC 1 has a Remote Desktop connection to PC 2 PC 2 is only receiving mouse and keyboard inputs from PC 1 PC 1 is only receiving screen captures from PC 2 Thusly, Window and control handles/IDs on PC 2 are not directly accessible on PC 1. Window and control functions on PC 1 can not see or directly communicate with window/control handles/IDs on PC 2 You need to run AutoIt on the Remote PC (PC 2) if you want to interact with the windows/controls.

DoOutOfBox Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 @ spudw2k: Thank you. Placing the tool on the remote PC (PC 2) would be a good procedure. But there is a challenge to do so. I do not have a permission to place the tool anywhere on the remote PC. So does Autoit has any key function to address these challenges or do we need to relay on other programming source in such scenarios. Please share your views.

Trong Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 1. Compile your script to receive exe file. 2. Connect to the remote pc, and copy and paste it anywhere. If RPD does not support copy and paste files you can upload/download exe file to any email or upload to website and download it to a remote computer. 3.Finally run it on the remote pc.

You have to run the script on the target PC to get that information. RDP is not going to give you that information. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
