Script or software to run a GUI based application

Show all headers | View raw

On my server a GUI based application is installed. If I start this
application I can enter the name of a city and as result I get many
information (GPS coordinates, population, ...).
My goal is to write a script or software which extracts all
information about a particular city. My current VB code opens the GUI
base application (VB command: Shell), enters the name of the
particular city (VB command: keybd_event), presses Enter and copies
the result/information into the clipboard and finally saves them into
a file.
My problem is that this approach works only if I'm connected via RDP
to my server where this GUI based application is running. If the RDP
session is disconnected my approach doesn't work.

Does someone know a way how to control a GUI based application even
though the RDP session is disconnected?

Regards
Stefan
