MouseMoveRel

Post by TimTom » Sat Apr 24, 2010 1:53 pm

Hi,

MouseMove and MouseMoveRel have just stopped working. Been using the followling macro on Window XP Home with version 7.4.007 of Macro Scheduler. This is a tried and tested macro that has just stopped working. Would appreciate your help.

Hi TimTom,


Are MouseMoveRel and MouseMove not moving the cursor at all, or are they moving the cursor to the wrong location? Try putting a longer wait after each move so you can see the cursor. You may need to adjust the coordinates.

Has anything else changed? Like a new computer, new Windows, new browser, new version of the application? As today's blog says, it may be time to upgrade Macro Scheduler to stay compatible with the new environment - even if your scripts stay the same.

I suspect that this is just a portion of the total script. But I don't see a SetFocus that is needed for proper Mouse movements.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
