Hi,

How can I output the "TESTING" in Notepad of the VNC window ?

Code: Select all

Gui +AlwaysOnTop
Gui, Font, S10 C000000 , Tahoma
Gui, Show, x131 y91 h155 w300,Program
Gui, Font, S10 c000000 , Verdana
Gui, Add, Button, x10 y22 w100 h50,Button1

#Persistent
WinGet, a_ID, ID, A
SetTimer, aa, 500
return

aa:
WinGet, a1_ID, ID, A
If ( a_ID != a1_ID )
k_ID = %a1_ID%
Return

ButtonButton1:
  if WinExist ("New Text Document - Notepad")
  {
  WinActivate, ahk_id  %k_ID%
  SendInput TESTING{ENTER}
  }
Return

GuiClose:
ExitApp

You can write like this without "ID"

AFAIK, to push the button while VNC viewer isn't in full screen mode, means, that (probably most, if not all of the) events will only trigger locally, ignoring the remote session. Therefore your local script isn't able detect the remote Notepad session (well, except graphically), just the VNC viewers window instead. So, you have to find a way to handover your data in the most reliable way to that remote window/the remote box. I'd go the way and set up an AHK client that is sniffing for incomming commands/data on that remote box.

You can handover this data using options like a shared network drive/folder, shared ClipBoard, or things like an UDP/TCP-socket (that btw, you can use from your mobile as well!). Nevertheless, you can have a try triggering the VNC viewers window using AHKs Control set. But IMHO that means throwing a stone through an open window without being able to see its remote target.

The Space between the function name and its parameters is wrong for sure: if WinExist ("New Text Document - Notepad") --> if WinExist("New Text Document - Notepad").

Hi,
It can not output in VNC window.

Hi poetbox,
Thanks for your reply. It can not output in VNC window.

Hi BoBo,
It seems that is not possible to use AHK to export directly the VNC window? It seems to activate the VNC window but not the NOTEPAD window.

Hi gregster,
Thank you for your reminder, I tried it and it still works, but not the NOTEPAD of the VNC window. I will change my habits.
