Multiple Win Account support

How can be this controlled in that simulator? Can HIDmacros be used with this application?

Multiple Win Account support

Post by nescha » 08 Apr 2014, 11:21

Can you give me a direction how to cover HIDMacros remapping for multiple users?

If I set HidMacros to autostart by setting it in Startup for all users, switching between users makes it not working.

Exact scenario goes like this:
1. First user logins, HID Macros getsstarted and working
2. Switching to second User with login (without logging out of first user), HID Macros gets started again and working
3. Switching back to first user shows that HID Macros remapping isn't working even though the HID Macros is running
3. Switching back to second user also discovers that HID Macros is running but remap isn't applied

Hmm, never considered this scenario :-)
It means HidMacros currently doesn't support user switching (with running HidMacros). I'm not sure if I implement this support at all - there are more important things by my opinion.
Sorry for bad news for you, but that's my view.

I created a kind of a workaround, for anybody else that runs into similar problem.
It basically involves using Task Scheduler that will Stop current instance of HIDMacros and Run new one on events like Logon, On connection to user session and On workstation unlock.
Not perfect, won't Run immediately new instance because of Stop action, but after a minute, but can live with that.
Whoever needs more detailed explanation, feel free to contact me
