Checking if the sessions the application is running in; is active or not

[Nick A]

I have an application running in an RDP session via Remote Desktop Manager. (RDM)

So for example, I have 4 sessions open and in one of those sessions (e.g session 2) my application is running.

 

Now; when I switch to session 1/3 or 4 via the RDM; my session doesn't have the focus anymore.

Problem now is that some actions of my application don't work anymore; for example creating a screenshot fails because 'nothing' is visible.

When I activate it again; it works.

 

When having open the 4 sessions in individual RD connections and leaving them open it's no problem.

But when you minimize it; it doesn't work either.

 

Is there an API to know if the session has focus or is hidden/minimized?

Then at least I can log that the RDP session wasn't active.

 

I need to capture screenshot & copy logs from test systems if something fails but in this case I can't create the screenshot. :-/

 

Thanks!

I don't know of an API for this, unfortunately. The closest you can get with the RDS API is checking the status (active, disconnected, etc.) and idle time of a session. Perhaps there is a way to do this using a Windows device API to query monitor information -- I'm not sure.
