Virtualdobmod: Msched stops by the 3rd window

mazzo · Post by **mazzo** » Sat Oct 13, 2007 8:30 am

I'm tired of doing the same thing over and again in vdubmod, so I tried to make a macro.

When the application opens, everything works fine. Msched presses F7 and the "Save As" window opens. Again everything is fine. But when msched pushes the "Configure" Button a new window opens. And then msched just stops.

Why is that?

Are you using the PushButton command? If so try sending keystrokes to the button instead. E.g. use the ALT key shortcut, or Press TAB to it and Press Enter. Also make sure you are allowing time for the window to appear before trying to click the button. Use WaitWindowOpen etc.

It doesn't work. Msched just doesn't recognize the new window.

I'm sure there is a way to get your macro to work. But without seeing your code and some screen shots we cannot really help further.

Here goes. As you can see, I've tried many things

Virtualdubmod opens The "Save As" window first. No problems. Then, by pressing "Change" in the "Save As" window, The "Select video compression" is displayed. That window is the trouble window. Msched just halts.

I downloaded VirtualDubMod. There's something funny about that Change button. And it doesn't have a short cut key sequence. That's open source for you

But pressing Tab to get to the Change button and then hitting Space works for me:

Code: Select all

SetFocus>VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.2*
Press F7
WaitWindowOpen>Save As

Wait>1
Press Tab * 9
Wait>1
Send>SPACE

WaitWindowOpen>Select video compression

MessageModal>done

When the Save As window opens focus is in the filename box. So it's 9 tabs to get to the Change button.

I see you're doing other stuff on this form so you'll need to change the above code and you may need more or less tabs. But hopefully you get the idea.

Incidentally - why all the mouse events? I prefer to navigate around windows using the keyboard.

I suppose an alternative, since this is open source, is to fix it and add a short cut key (ALT key) to the Change button.

Works fine now. I only had to stay clear of the "PushButton" command - vdubmod doesn't like it. Thanks!
