Im using webaii 1.1 and webaii design canvas 1.1 with NUnit for automation scripts execution.We have automated a customized CRM application.Currently our scripts do not run if we minimize our application,how can we add a feature so that our scripts can run in backend even if we disconnect from our VPN connections.
Please suggest.

This is a very old UI automation problem that exists in any Windows UI automation task. The problem is that Windows removes the "Interactive Desktop" permission anytime the app is minimized or you disconnect your VPN. When this permission is removed it blocks all mouse actions and keyboard actions. Only web tests that use nothing but DOM actions (click element, select, verify property, etc.) will work in this mode. As soon as you have a Mouse Click or a send key step, the test will not work in this mode.
At this time there is no work around to this problem. it is a problem that plagues all UI automation problems. We are actively working on trying to solve this problem for tests running under Test Studio. At this time we have not yet solved this problem. Hopefully we will in a near future release.
