You're not talking to an expert. However, it seems that bringing a window into focus is an event that takes time. The appearance of the window has to change(the title bar color and perhaps the window border must change). I wish I knew some sure signal that would allow a script to know "the window ha...

I just posted a long question about a script I was getting error messages from, and after submitting it, the embarrassing realization hit me that I had neglected to set WIN_USEHANDLE=1. Problem solved. The only reason I'll leave this here is because it's such a neat device for waiting after executin...

1.Is there a way to indent a block of script more than just one space at a time? It's awkward to have to keep pressing Alt/e/b until the script is where I want it. 2.Why can't I get a hot keyed macro to acces the editor's menu? Let>SK_DELAY=40 SetFocus>Editor* Press Alt Send>eb Release Alt this scri...

I'm trying to put together a script which will remove from its group, a selected program from the Macro Scheduler program list. If I punch the buttons myself, everything works fine(alt, e, m, enter), but this script will not go beyond opening the edit window. ??? This script would be useful to one w...

THANKYOU! :D Everything is smooooth, quick and quiet! Thanks for explaining send> n (send SPACE n), I would have missed it. I've always used wait> and WaitWindowOpen> before, but now need to distinguish different irfanview windows- main window, clipboard, thumbnails, etc. Macro Scheduler would somet...

Sorry, I didn't realize that I wasn't automatically logged in when I submitted the above. It's mine- jalbt51. One more thing about the above, that deactivated WaitWindowOpen will stop the whole works if activated!!!

YES! :D Thankyou! I recognize this kind of waiting for a change, from a similar waiting for a pixel color on a certain spot in a browser window to change, signalling a new window being opened. And then the same spot changing back, signalling the process is complete(I had very iffy results with this ...

How can I use WaitWindowOpen> in WIN_USEHANDLE=1 mode, since the handle of the window just executed is not yet known? I thought I had this problem of grabbing just the right window solved, but the following script maximizes and then minimizes Macrscheduler instead of notepad. If I can use WaitWindow...

I'm a relative beginner, so these comments should be checked by someone who knows. Have you already sent an ExecuteFile> command to open WinOPS - Operations Plus? WaitWindowOpen> only waits for the file you have previously Executed. I find the correct pathname for the ExecuteFile> command by opening...

Here is a script which will give you the window handle of the very last window opened(in this case notepad). when the message appears you will see a number which is the window's handle. (To check this number,I don't use the "view system windows" from the editor page- it seems to freeze up occasional...

When I started in MacroSch I learned from recording my own macroes. Having gone from the observed MouseMove/Click, method of pushing buttons, to TAB controls, I give a loud YES! :D to Bob Hansen's comment about it. They are more reliable and you dont have to worry about where the buttons are! No mor...

It works! Thanks

I SEE , said the blind man! WaitPixelColor>absolute x coordinate, absolute y coordinate, color value, timeout value This comment, and this: The reference to "Paint" in the WaitReady command does not refer to the "Paint" program. It refers to the OS "painting" the screen images to the monitor, or doi...

When I open Macro Properties dialog and choose Pixel color, I only get 3 coordinates. Do you want a screen shot of it? If so tell me how to include in letter. Thanks again jalbt51

1.Bob, Thanks for your reply. I don't understand #3. The tabbing is to find a button that opens the NEXT window. (is yours a script to open the first window?) This starts in an already opened window which I find after searching around through the sight for something I like. First the medium size pic...
