Macro Scheduler on servers, diskless workstations, Citrix.

Hi, I have been away from testing and automation for a while, but now my job brings me back to it. We have moved to an environment where all of our users are on diskless workstations running under Windows 7. The actual client applications are published on Citrix. Previously we had our Macro Schedule...

Perhaps it is a Delphi error on which Macro Scheduler is based. Google on "delphi windows 7 regional settings" and you will find some articles on delphi ignoring some date/time settings.

Hi nOrm41,

Here is what you want:

Code: Select all

GetActiveWindow>window_title,X,Y,Width,Height
MDL:Actve window title: %window_title%
MDL:Active window located at: X:%X% Y:%Y%
MDL:Active window size: Width:%Width% Height:%Height%
All of the parms are variables for the function to return information.

Hi cyberiguana, You will probably want to take the sample code and put it in a Macro Scheduler subroutine. You will need to use the ScreenCapture command to get the image file (stored in the sImage variable). The ScreenCapture command lets you define the upper left corner of the screen and the width...

Hi Dick, I tried it and it is working as expected. The local variables are updated in the watchlist but are cleared out after the script leaves the subroutine. Put a wait>10 in the last statement of proc and run in trace mode. You will see: 1. port appears 2. n appears 3. localArray appears 4. globa...

You have 800 lines of code in your real script. There may be a syntax error in there somewhere. Make sure all of your braces, brackets, paranthesis, and quotes balance. Otherwise the script will run out of code before finding the EndWhile statement.

The help for WHILE does refer you to REPEAT and UNTIL for the forms the expression may take. It is looking for a variable and a value.

Did you try something like this?

Code: Select all


Let>whileval={complex expression}
While>whileval=TRUE
   Let>whileval={complex expression}
   do something
Endwhile
