Default Keep alive for Universe? - 08-26-2010 , 09:19 AM






I'm attempting (again) to find a way to send keystrokes into a wIntegrate
process to keep the server timeout from logging me off. Has anybody done
this? I see keep alive software, but it either wants to ping my ISP or needs
an IP address of the server to ping. I just want to poke text into a process
on my desktop (wIntegrate).

I'm looking at autohotkey. It may do it, but perhaps someone has gone
through the learning curve already...

Thanks,

Ed

Ok, I finally bit the bullet and rolled my own. I first tried AutoHotkey,
and got 90% home, but alas, it couldn't send text to a wIntegrate window
without activating it, bringing it to the foreground (icky). Curiously it
could for Notepad, but the wIntegrate control wasn't findable with AHK. So I
went to AutoIt3 and with very similar syntax (ControlSend), I was able to
send {SPACE} + {BACKSPACE} to the session every 25 minutes. Works like a
charm, and in the "background," so to speak.

If anyone wants this, I'll post it.
