Send Command fails when the server is locked via MSTCS

[capsandiego]

Hi All,

I have a very strange problem. If I run the simple PHP script on the server while I'm logged in via MSTSC (Desktop Remote) it works. But if I log out (always via MSTCS) and schedule the script to run, the Send() command fails and nothing is written to the Notepad page.

I tried several times and it's related to the Send() command only. Does the MSTCS program lock AutoIt somehow? Is there something I have to configure on my XP server?

Thanks in advance, best Regards.

$autoIt = new COM('AutoItX3.Control');

$autoIt->Run('notepad.exe');

$autoIt->WinActivate("Untitled","");

$autoIt->Send("Hello World!","Untitled");

There is no actual screen session to send keystrokes to when you schedule the script.

Used ControlSend() as that should work.

Hi Jos,

Thanks very much... this is something I didn't think of... and it has a big impact on the script... I need to replace all Send() with ControlSend() so I'm forced to specify the Control ID/NN for all the input fields I want to populate.... since there is no other way to do it I'll do...

Thanks again

Regards

Hi Jos, the function WinWaitActive() is also affected by the schedule? It seems it doesn't work...

Thanks in advance
