lock or unlock windows session

Asked by vincent

I'am trying to success to lock or unlocka Windows session.

So for that I have to press using sikuli CTRL+ALT+DELETE

using type(Key.DELETE, KeyModifier.CTRL | KeyModifier.ALT) on a locked session -> do not work
using type(Key.DELETE, KeyModifier.CTRL | KeyModifier.ALT) on a open session -> do not work
playing with keyDown -> do not work
playing with num lock (bug) -> do not work

I've search deeper on the subjuect but seems there are really old bugs declared but no real solution.

is there any workaround to success ?

as far as I understand: this is not possible with Sikuli and the underlying Java Robot (but you might try on your own with Java Robot)

A bit late to the party, but maybe this might help someone who is still looking for a work-around.

On Windows 7 this works for me:

type(Key.WIN);
type(Key.RIGHT);
type(Key.RIGHT);
type(Key.UP);
type(Key.UP);
type(Key.ENTER);

Basically it opens the Windows menu and navigates to the "lock".

Can you help with this problem?
