When I execute my script it works fine, but if I blocked windows session, the script execute in the time but dont fill the text fields.

My script:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1700" Guid="{5B5D2B33-1146-4FC1-9885-61E6D193233B}" Time="1432735597.8">

Thank you very much!

Updating...

There are two behaviors:

1. When I execute the script above manually on windows thought EG, everything works fine but the message error above is logged.
2. When I lock windows, wait the task scheduler execute the EG with my autostart script and log in windows again, the EG just open the log in box of the program I want to execute, it doesnt type USER, ACCOUNT TYPE and PASSWORD.

Thanks.

I don't know if it works, but you should use the "Find Window" action to select the input boxes instead of using wait and tabs.

But why everything work fine if I'm logged in windows and run the script and when the windows is locked it doesn't work?

Thanks!

Window.SendKeys uses the front-most window if you don't do a "find window", which may not be exist or be something else when the screen is locked.
As I said, I don't know if it works, but it's worth a try.

It didn't work...
And in my tests I saw that the app logon window was active after I unlocked my Windows.
It was show a continuous "Failed to get data from the clipboard", and I had to finalize the EG process.
I don't know what to do.

Thanks.

What is the message "System.ClipboardChanged"?

It is appearing constantly and I can close the EG just finalizing the task.

This occurs when I connect to the computer by SSH with Ubuntu.

Using the computer directly this problem doesn't occurs.

I still can't make work my script when the computer is locked/logged off.

When I'm logged everything works fine.

Today I connected to the computer to see if the EG had executed, but again the EG just executed my software, it didn't write my user and password and enter the application.

Someone know what I can do?

No one knows how to automatic run EG without login on windows?
I had configured on scheduled tasks to run EG in defined hour and this always work fine.
But if I'm not logged on windows, the EG run and stop in first step.
How to fix this?

Thanks!

There has been a discussion somewhere on this forum how to run EventGhost as a service but I do not remember where it was discussed (you have to try search feature of the board). Besides, I do not know if those solutions will still work with the latest versions of Windows. I did a test myself a couple of years ago and it worked then fine with Windows XP.

Thank you krambriw!
