help creating ginaHook

[cheeseslice]

Hi,

I had started another topic yesterday (http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=87272) but I don't think I used the right topic title to get the specific help that I need, though Zinthose did point me in the right direction. I hope it's ok to start a new topic.

I need to create a script that will send a username and password and login to a workstation running xp sp2. The reason for this application is so that I can then send it remotely to all the machines on my network using psexec, I need them all to log in with the same credentials so that I can run presentations on them at certain times over the next couple of days.

With the advice from here, google and msdn I have realised that I need to create a service that will then use the following functions:

openinputdesktop - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684309(VS.85).aspx

setthreaddesktop - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686250(VS.85).aspx

sendinput - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646310(VS.85).aspx

These are all part of the user32.dll

This is where I've got to so far and I was wondering if someone could give me a bit more advice now. I've never used autoit with dll's before and I don't fully understand how to go about getting this to work.

Thanks

I have found the code that I need but it's written in c++ from 4 years ago:

HDESK old_desktop = GetThreadDesktop(GetCurrentThreadId());

// Switch into the Winlogon desktop

if (!SelectDesktop("Winlogon"))

{

return FALSE;

}

// Winlogon uses hotkeys to trap Ctrl-Alt-Del...

// HWND w=FindWindow("SAS window class","SAS window");

SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_HOTKEY, 0, MAKELONG(MOD_ALT |

MOD_CONTROL, VK_DELETE));

HWND w=NULL;

// evil forever loop follows?

while( NULL != (w=FindWindow(NULL,"Welcome to Windows")) )

SendMessage(w, WM_HOTKEY, 0, MAKELONG(MOD_ALT | MOD_CONTROL,

VK_DELETE));

// Alt-P for password edit

keybd_event( VK_MENU, 0, 0, NULL );

keybd_event( VkKeyScan('p'), 1, 0, NULL );

keybd_event( VkKeyScan('p'), 1, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, NULL );

keybd_event( VK_MENU, 0, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, NULL );

Sleep( 50 ); // maybe not needed

// Enter the password

char password[] = "not4u2no";

for( int c=0; c<strlen(password); c++ )

{

keybd_event( VkKeyScan(password[c]), 1, 0, NULL );

keybd_event( VkKeyScan(password[c]), 1, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, NULL );

}

// Send the enter key and do the default (logon)

keybd_event( VK_RETURN, 0, 0, NULL );

keybd_event( VK_RETURN, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0, NULL );

// Switch back to our original desktop

if (old_desktop != NULL)

SelectHDESK(old_desktop);

Is it possible for me to translate this to autoit?
