How to set mouse cursor on found text !!!

hardik_228 · Post by **hardik_228** » Mon Dec 07, 2009 1:20 am

Hi All,

Can anyone please help me out here?

I have created Macro to copy text from excel and entered into IE. Now, I know how to find text on the screen and wait macro to stop until particular text found on screen with "WaitScreenText" function.

BUT, when my macro copying from excel and paste into IE it will search record from database and then it displayed 4 types of text on the base of search like record duplicated, record not found, record empty and invalid record id. all these errors have particular ID.

Now, my question is;

-How can I set my macro to stop until any of the text appear on the screen (because if i put "WaitScreenText>id5412458?" then if anyother error comes up then still my macro wait for particular ID)

-if particular text appear on the screen then, how can i move my mouse onto that text (not an image).

What I am trying to do is, I want to set loop for the macro that work with anyof the errors,

wait for screen text id5412458? but if screen text is id5415124? then go to another loop and then if screen text is id5454187? then go to this loop.

Is there anyway to do this one?

Thanks.

when you use waitscreentext you can set a timeout in seconds i would just do like 5 second per text you wish to detect or how ever long you need to wait depending on script and window explorer loads and what not

so something like this

label>1
Let>WST_TIMEOUT=5
WaitScreenText>screentext1
if>WST_RESULT=true
do this
if>WST_RESULT=FALSE
goto>2
label>2
Let>WST_TIMEOUT=5
WaitScreenText>screentext2
if>WST_RESULT=true
do this
if>WST_RESULT=FALSE
goto>3
label>3
Let>WST_TIMEOUT=5
WaitScreenText>screentexti l
if>WST_RESULT=true
do this
if>WST_RESULT=FALSE
goto>1

Hi hardik_228,

You may want to check whether the error message ID###### is displayed in a window or object is recognized by GetActiveWindow and the other window commands. If the ID number is the window title, GetActiveWindow will return the ID number and the coordinates of the window. If the title is something else GetWindowText might retrieve the ID number.
