Winactivate for remote applications

[SiteMaze]

Hello all,

I have a simple code

if WinWait("JMP","",5) == 0 then exit
        WinActivate("JMP")
        WinWaitActive("JMP","",5)

Above code works with any other desktop applications.

But in our company, we run the JMP application from a central server remotely, through Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server Client for 32-bit Windows.

The window title on the taskbar shows "JMP -- /remote".

AU3info shows the same title.

But it doesn't seem to activate the window.

Any ideas????

I believe it actually has to do with it coming through citrix. I noticed in the AutoIt info box it said Transparent window. Citrix is simliar to terminal services and if you are running the ica desktop client it might not recognize the window since its a published app. If you use the browser version of Citrix it would only activate the main window you are running the session through which would be the title of your Internet browser window. Hope that helps but I'm sure it has to do at how it see the Citrix window.

; Might help?

Opt("WinSearchChildren", 1)

Opt("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)

#cs

WinDetectHiddenText Specifies if hidden window text can be "seen" by the window matching functions.

0 = Do not detect hidden text (default)

1 = Detect hidden text

WinSearchChildren Allows the window search routines to search child windows as well as top-level windows.

0 = Only search top-level windows (default)

1 = Search top-level and child windows

#ce

Nice suggestion to try.

Nice suggestion to try.

The title shows "JMP - [changes according to subwindow] // Remote".

I read in another thread to increase the characters to have a better reliability.

So instead of winactivate("JMP") I tried winactivate("JMP - ") and it is having 100% hit rate.

I also use wingethandle("JMP - ") = wingethandle("Remote") to be double sure.

Hope it helps others.

This will work.

Try this.

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

$MyApp="JMP"

_WinWaitActivate($MyApp,"",5)

Func _WinWaitActivate($title,$text,$timeout=0)
    WinWait($title,$text,$timeout)
    If Not WinActive($title,$text) Then WinActivate($title,$text)
    WinWaitActive($title,$text,$timeout)
EndFunc
