Xander Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Starting to write a little script that will lock my PC when my phone is not on the wifi. Should be pretty simple: Opt("SendKeyDelay",0) Opt("SendKeyDownDelay",0) While 1 $ping=Ping("192.168.0.13") ;check for phone with static IP If $ping=0 then Send("#l") ; send Win+L to lock Sleep(60000) ;will adjust once working WEnd The first two lines were recommended by the Help file but don't seem to make any difference. If I change it to "#r", I do get the run box so I'm not sure why #l isn't working. Once I get this bit fixed, I'll pretty it up and maybe see if I can get it to unlock when I get home (suggestions welcome). Edited February 25, 2016 by Xander
InunoTaishou Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) If you can avoid using Send, do so #include <WinAPISys.au3> If (Not Ping("192.168.0.13")) Then _WinAPI_LockWorkStation() If ping does not respond, Lock Workstation. Edited February 25, 2016 by InunoTaishou Xander 1
Xander Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 I knew there had to be a more elegant way to do it. Turns out my Autoit was behind by a bit and the WinAPI entries weren't in the Help file.

InunoTaishou Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 After doing some searching there doesn't look to be an easy way to unlock the workstation. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12565878/c-sharp-unlock-workstation That stackoverflow post leads to this. Which looks complicated, using some classes I've never seen.
BrewManNH Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I'd certainly hope that there wasn't an easy way to unlock a computer without the correct password/username. Otherwise, what would be the point of locking it in the first place? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Xander Posted February 28, 2016 Author Posted February 28, 2016 Well, IF it were possible, I'd be fine with popping my login information into my own script. This is all more of a "let's see how it works" experiment than anything else.
