script don't run with computer locked

[carlomagno]

Is it normal that the scripts do not turn if the computer is blocked?

(screen saver protection)

Maybe you mean an XP-computer?

Yep, try to shut it down with pressing short the shutdown-button on the computer while it is locked - I mean not pressing the button 10 seconds so that computer is completely 'hard' shuted down

Sorry, I don't uderstand.

The computer is locked because is active the protection [On resume, password protect] of screen saver.

I must use the CTRL-ALT_DEL and insert the right password.

Are you wanting AutoIt to do that for you?

JS

Hehe ! Either I`m way off, or the other guys are...

Anyway..

Carlomagno, I´ve never tried it, but it should work in at least with

some functions, I BELIEVE.. For example a simple :

If @SEC = 1 Then SoundPlay("ding.wav")

However, I doubt that for example any of the Window-functions would work..

If WinActive("home for Christmas soon") Then SoundPlay("woooohoo.wav")

But this is just guessing..

If you explain (or post) your code maybe we can help you..

Sorry that I couldn`t help.

Helge is right. For working in blocked machines Autoit have to use only windows unrelated or control commands.

[carlomagno]

ok

I have written one script that lancia a program.

After launch there is a form that asks userID and password.

The program stop here

here's code

Logon()

1 Func Logon()

2 $startSAP="C:\Programmi\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPGUI\sapgui"

3 Run( $startSAP )

4 Sleep( 2000)

5 $WndName = "SAP R/3"

6 WinWaitActive( $WndName)

7 Send( $userid )

8 Send("{TAB}")

9 Send( $pwd )

10 Send("{ENTER}")

11 Return ""

12 EndFunc

When the computer is blocked script stop line 7

bye

6 WinWait( $WndName)
7 ControlSend( $userid )

That is what helge and ezzetabi are saying? The screensaver is the active window. You need to use the functions for inactive window use.

Now I understand

Then I MUST ALWAYS WinWait and ControlSend

Thanks all

In most cases it`s better and safer to use ControlSend instead of Send,

because Send requires that the window/control is active/selected, but with

ControlSend that`s not required. The window/control can even be hidden !

About the WinWait. As I said before, I doubt that any of the windows-related

functions (and control-functions) do work with the screensaver.

I`m in a situation where it`s IMPOSSIBLE to try this, so I could give you a better

answer, so just have try it out yourself.

You could try something like this (UNTESTED):

Sleep(30000); Gives you the chance to start the screensaver..
If WinExists("Program Manager") Then SoundPlay("norsk_sau.wav")

Good luck !

WinExists will work. But to control that window you have to use control commands.

Also WinWait should work, but of course won't work WinWaitActive...

[SlimShady]

You could use WinGetState.

I tried using the desktop as an example but I failed.

[carlomagno]

I thanks all

I think that I disable screensaver

Bye
