No access to Virtual Desktop

Hi,

I was trying to control an Application which makes use of Virtual Desktops.
My script is working fine until the Application switches to the second
virtual Desktop.
After this all Keyboard-Commands or Mouse clicks have no effect anymore.
When the Application switches back to the first Desktop, everything works fine again.

Is there a way to control virtual Desktops from Macro Scheduler (Perhaps via VB-Code) ?

- Macro Scheduler 8.0.3e
- Windows XP embedded SP2

Windows only allows one desktop at a time to take keyboard focus. So keyboard and mouse events can only be sent to one desktop at a time.

Marcus,
Thank you for the quick reply.

Windows only allows one desktop at a time to take keyboard focus.

The problem is that Windows (i.e. the Application) switches focus to a new (second) Desktop, while Macro Scheduler has its focus still on the first (=initial) Desktop.
I'm looking for a way to tell Macro Scheduler that it should change its focus to the same (second) Desktop as the Application.

Joerg
