Using Autoit I have achieved automation to Open the Passport Mainframe application. I want to click on "Run Macro" button in the application for which I have a shortcut Alt+Shift+R, So using AutoIT I have used control send and sent the key. It worked fine in one machine and not working in another machine. Below is the code. Can any one help me understand why it is not working in another machine ? Please note that when I manually do Alt+Shift+R the action is performed as expected. Also I tried to record the steps using au3Recorder and it is not recording the Mainframe screen in machine where this automation I am referring is not working.

Func PassportInputs()
RunWait (@ComSpec & ' /c cscript.exe "' & @ScriptDir & '\initPassport.vbs" ALL /Q /NoCancel')
Sleep(20000)
Local $Title = WinGetTitle("[ACTIVE]")
WinGetHandle($Title)
WinSetState($Title,"",@SW_MAXIMIZE)
WinActivate($Title)
;;Need to set up shortcut in Mainframe Keyboard to run macro using Alt+Shift+R
ControlSend($Title,"","","{ALTDOWN}{SHIFTDOWN}r{SHIFTUP}{ALTUP}") 
EndFunc

Check the returnvalue of the Win* and Control* functions to make sure everything works as expected.

@water Thanks for replying. The Win* functions working appropriately

 

I see the WinSetState function have maximized the application. The problem is I could not send keys to the application. Again it is only in few machines and in other machines same code is working and sending keys that I sent using ControlSend in my above code.

Another idea:
Every Host emulator provides an API. Have a look at the provided manuals on how to access this API.
