in reply to How to perform click operation on 'Use another account' Option in the 'Windows Security' Window which popups in 'Remote Desktop Connection' process?

But none of the functions were successful in clicking the "Use another account" option.

Why do you think that is?

What do you think you should try next?

Are you using any of "the spy" tools available?

    I want to login with different user credentials. so i want to click on "Use another account".
    Sorry, I have not yet used "the spy" tools as I am new to perl I have no knowledge on "the spy" tools.

    I think, I will have to perform that function through AutoIT and converting that code to exe and then calling it in my perl script.....

      "the spy"

      See this collection of win32 tutorials/examples for a link to the spy

      Win32 programming is very laborious and requires a great deal of win32 knowledge (in addition to a win32 machine:), error checking becomes very important (sending a click doesn't guarantee you actually clicked your target, or the new window/dialog has shown yet ... sometimes you have to wait for it)

      I think, I will have to perform that function through AutoIT and converting that code to exe and then calling it in my perl script.....

      Sounds like a plan, the AutoIt folks seem to like win32 a lot :) and work with it a lot:) and make working with win32 a lot easier :)

      FWIW, if you look at http://search.cpan.org/~shimi/Win32-Watir-0.06-withoutworldwriteables/MANIFEST or Win32::IEAutomation you can see they're using AutoIt COM interface from perl :)

      lib/Win32/Watir/AutoItX.chm     
lib/Win32/Watir/AutoItX3.dll     
lib/Win32/Watir/AutoItX3_x64.dll

      Good luck:)
