RE: [Talk] BWS and Remote Desktop Connection issue.

[Thom C. Blackwell]

Greetings, The Digital OCR connection uses an "implied activate" inside it's keying commands in order to make sure the keys it sends are going to the correct window. This is basically looking at and remembering what you had connected into. For Citrix deployed applications however, the "title" that you see is not the actual title so to speak so you need to turn the "implied activate" off and use a specialized keying format to send the keys - that's a complex way of saying: Execute the command: OCR.Activate "@_NOACTIVATE"  - after the connect to turn off the implied activate And for keying commands use Key “@@_MyKey” For example To send an enter key use -  Key “@@_{ENTER}”   Regards, Thom   Thom C.
