Hi All,

I've created a script that read some fields in a software's window.

To identify the window I use the window's title and the script works well.

My point is that for other people that are using the same software through Citrix, the macro is not working even if the WindowsSpy confirms that the window's name is exactly the same.

Has anybody faced this issue?


Cheers..

Hi

Is the AHK app running on the local PC or within the CITRIX environment?

In our work, we use the AHK quite extensively within a remote situation(either Windows RDP or Citrix).

I have found that the AHK app has to be running in the OS that is receiving the keystrokes. In other words, within the virtual environment.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

thank you for your advice!

The AHK is running locally.

Your suggestion is really interesting, but not possible for me, because I can open the AHK app from the Citrix server, but not on the same instance of the other remote app.

So I can asume that from local is not possible to access a Citrix app...

But thank you anyway!

AHK is pretty tricky to run on a program operating via Citrix client since you're not per se using the program so much as you're using a reflection of the program. Virtually all of the typical "hooks" you use with AHK to create the shortcuts ( i.e. specific ahk_classes and controls) are not available. You have to attempt to make those same shortcuts in Citrix with more literal action sequences, which will be slower but with good code the effects could be made almost negligible.

Could you post some code of things you can do with the program locally that you can't get AHK to do through the Citrix client and explain what the code should be doing?
