Recommended Posts

If this the "MetaFrame Presentation Server" Window is not highlighted, it does not received text being sent to it even though i am using "controlsend" to send the text. Below is the code, can anyone explain why this is not working.

Opt("SendKeyDelay", 1)

ShellExecute("iexplore.exe", "http://homer/citrix/MetaFrame/auth/login.aspx")

WinWaitActive("MetaFrame Presentation Server", "")

ControlFocus ("MetaFrame Presentation Server", "", "")

ControlSend("MetaFrame Presentation Server", "", "", "{TAB 8}")

ControlSend("MetaFrame Presentation Server", "", "", "hyvestra")

ControlSend("MetaFrame Presentation Server", "", "", "{TAB}")

ControlSend("MetaFrame Presentation Server", "", "", "homer")

ControlSend("MetaFrame Presentation Server", "", "", "+{TAB 2}")

ControlSend("MetaFrame Presentation Server", "", "", "Administrator")

ControlSend("MetaFrame Presentation Server", "", "", "{ENTER}")

thanks.

Are you using the Beta 3.2.3.0, I know that 3.2.2.0 had issues with ControlSend and blank ControlID parameters.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

You might want to add the ClassNameNN of the main control inside the browser, e.g. "Internet Explorer_Server1" (parameter 3 of the Control* functions).

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?
