Using Send function on a remote server

[sanmeet]

I have developed a script using AutoIt and would like it to run daily on a server. But my script is not sending keys when I use SEND Function unless I am logged on to a sever. Any advice how can I run my script without logging on to a server.

Thanks

I think Send only works on the active window and since you're logged off it won't do much. You have to use ControlSend().

I just tried ControlSend function and it did not work for me. Here is my code: -

Run ("J:\fltctrl\bin\MxtCtrl.exe") ; to open my program

WinWaitActive("Log In - Maintenance Control", "")

ControlSend("Log In - Maintenance Control", "", "TEdit2", "username");

ControlSend("Log In - Maintenance Control", "", "TEdit1", "password")

You should test to see if you can get a handle to those controls first then.

$handle = ControlGetHandle ("Log In - Maintenance Control", "", "TEdit2")

If @error Then MsgBox(0,"","ERROR")

If there is no error you can use that handle variable to do the ControlSend()

ControlSend("Log In - Maintenance Control", "", $handle, "username");

I tried your suggestion and still not working....any other suggestions?

Did the ControlGetHandle show an error?

Maybe in this case try ControlSetText()
