[SkuaR]

Hello!
I have a question for Auto IT, i can have many clients with autoit(s) in same PC? or i need Virtual machine for this?

Thank!

Yes u can have multiple clients with autoit if you use ControlSend and ControlClick i think, which will simulate the click,keypress in background mode

sorry, i totally noob, it a different program?

[yellowspark]

No mate , ControlSend is a function in autoit

ControlSend works in a similar way to Send but it can send key strokes directly to a window/control, rather than just to the active window.

Thank!!

From my experience, it is better to use VMware because it simulates a new computer with its own identity. With VMware, you don't need CTRL click/send either. I'm no expert, but based on what I've read and some research, it is safer in general.

Based on some experience I have, CTRL Click/Send functions in Autoit scripts seems pretty unreliable because many other mouse and keyboard functions are needed that CTRL Click/Send alone won't be able to provide, such as MouseClickDrag, MouseMove, etc. Unless there is a way to simulate CTRL along with them as well, I can't see it becoming a fully functional script.

I don't have too much experience as I started with AI recently, but if anyone knows better, feel free to correct me.

*EDIT* Its possible to have it hold down CTRL with: Send("{CTRLDOWN}") during the entire duration of the script, but I'm unsure how CTRL-down will affect other actions performed by the bot
