I tried some other ideas. I created a corrupt.wav file and selected it for IE Complete Navigation. IE did not play a sound but did not throw an error that I could see. I renamed sndrec32.exe thinking this is the file being used to play the wav file. Windows replaced sndrec32.exe in C:Win/Sys32 confi...

Thanks adroege

I did look at the link.

Unfortunately it cannot detect what sound is being played.

Also I would have to create an event of some kind that could be recognised by Macro Scheduler.

I really would like to detect a sound being played to automate this application rather than detect when an image or pixel has changed. I think it would be a much cleaner solution. Currently, my scripts are not supportable enough to distribute. I confirmed Internet Explorer is playing Windows XP Star...

Thanks adroege The database is not public so I can't share a URL. I am grabbing the smallest image I can for speed reasons. The images seems to change color and size. Because of the size change I do not think color tolerance will help me. I think my application is playing the Windows Nav Start.wav f...

I just grabbed the text using GetWindowText. Unfortunately, it appears the developers treated much of the text as images or there is something else going on. The app uses Java, not Javascript. Is there anything in VBscript that could detect if a sound is played? The app is probably playing a .wav fi...

Get File List - Directories

If you set GFL_TYPE=1 and use GetFileList>C:\*.*,DIR you get the directories in C:. You do not get a list of the subdirectories.

Similarly, a method of getting a list of all directories including subdirectories would be nice.
