Easier Way to Connect to a Password Protected Local Computer

[kjcdude]

I need a simplified version to connect to a local password protected server.

Here's how i do it currently, but the problem is that it requires mouse movements and opening windows.

WinWait("Program Manager","FolderView")
If Not WinActive("Program Manager","FolderView") Then WinActivate("Program Manager","FolderView")
WinWaitActive("Program Manager","FolderView")
MouseClick("left",42,16,2)
WinWait("My Computer","FolderView")
If Not WinActive("My Computer","FolderView") Then WinActivate("My Computer","FolderView")
WinWaitActive("My Computer","FolderView")
MouseMove(189,101)
MouseDown("left")
MouseUp("left")
Send("\\server00{ENTER}")
WinWait("Connect to server00","&User name:")
If Not WinActive("Connect to server00","&User name:") Then WinActivate("Connect to server00","&User name:")
WinWaitActive("Connect to server00","&User name:")
Send("install{TAB}6789{ENTER}")
sleep(5000)
winclose("server00","")

Thanks

A better way to do this is to use a VNC as application or if it is Windows 2000 or higher use RDP.

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$width = 1024
$height = 768
$oRDP = ObjCreate("MsTscAx.MsTscAx")
$GUI = GUICreate("Embedded RDP control Test", $width+20, $height+20, 0, -1, $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oRDP, 10, 10, $width, $height)
GUICtrlSetResizing ($GUIActiveX,$GUI_DOCKAUTO)

GUISetState()

; connect to the server. if this is not done first, the child controls are not rendered.
; which is a problem, because we have to change their styles to prevent clipping
$oRDP.Server = "SERVERNAME"
$oRDP.Domain = "DOMAIN"
$oRDP.UserName = "USER"

$oRDP.Connect()

; Determine the class name of the ATL control - it seems to be random from system to system
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)     ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase
Opt("WinSearchChildren", 1)     ;0=no, 1=search children also
$sATLClass = ""
$aClasses = StringSplit(WinGetClassList($GUI,""),@LF)
For $i = 1 To $aClasses[0]
    If StringLeft($aClasses[$i],4) = "ATL:" Then
        $sATLClass = $aClasses[$i]
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Next

; get the handles to the controls that must have their styles modified
$hUIContainerClass = ControlGetHandle($GUI, "", "[CLASS:UIContainerClass]")
$hUIMainClass = ControlGetHandle($GUI, "", "[CLASS:UIMainClass]")
$hATL = ControlGetHandle($GUI, "", "[CLASS:"&$sATLClass&"]")
ConsoleWrite("$hUIContainerClass (should not be 0 or blank):" & $hUIContainerClass & @crlf)
ConsoleWrite("$hUIMainClass (should not be 0 or blank):" & $hUIMainClass & @crlf)
ConsoleWrite("$hATL (should not be 0 or blank):" & $hATL & @crlf)

; modify the styles of the child controls to match those set by the offical client application
; this prevents clipping problems - though, I don't know why
Const $WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY = 0x4
Const $WS_EX_NOINHERITLAYOUT = 0x100000
$hUIContainerClassStyle = BitOR($WS_CHILD, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, $WS_VISIBLE) ; 0x56000000
$hUIContainerClassStyleEx = BitOR($WS_EX_NOINHERITLAYOUT, $WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY) ; 0x00100004
$hUIMainClassStyle = BitOR($WS_CHILD, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, $WS_SYSMENU, $WS_VISIBLE) ; 0x56080000
$hUIMainClassStyleEx = 0x0
$hATLStyle = BitOR($WS_CHILD, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, $WS_VISIBLE) ; 0x56000000
$hATLStyleEx = 0x0
$guiStyle = BitOR($WS_BORDER, $WS_CAPTION, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, $WS_DLGFRAME, $WS_GROUP, $WS_MAXIMIZE, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_SYSMENU, $WS_TABSTOP, $WS_THICKFRAME, $WS_VISIBLE) ; 0x17CF0100
$guiStyleEx = $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE ; 0x00000100
_SetStyle($hUIContainerClass,$hUIContainerClassStyle,$hUIContainerClassStyleEx)
_SetStyle($hUIMainClass,$hUIMainClassStyle,$hUIMainClassStyleEx)
_SetStyle($hATL,$hATLStyle,$hATLStyleEx)
_SetStyle($gui,$guiStyle,$guiStyleEx)
Func _SetStyle($hwnd,$style,$exstyle)
    DllCall("user32.dll", "long", "SetWindowLong", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", -16, "long", $style)
    DllCall("user32.dll", "long", "SetWindowLong", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", -20, "long", $exstyle)
EndFunc

; $WS_EX_NOPARENTNOTIFY and $WS_EX_NOINHERITLAYOUT seem to be fairly important
; This may still be important for other projects with similar problems.

AdlibEnable ( "checkconn", 1000)
Func checkconn()
    If $oRDP.Connected = 0 Then
        Exit
    EndIf
EndFunc


While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

GUIDelete()

Exit
