Help with browser script.

I have been trying my hardest to figure out the missing pieces in this macro...

I cannot figure out how to add the window event trigger.

Basically it should wait until the google chrome crashes (and it will) and once the crash box appears, restart it and restore the page automatically, then go back into monitor mode...

I recorded the strokes via recorder and i thought it would be simple as adding the window trigger via properties but no luck there what am I missing here?

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve. It may help to just explain what you want to do. Your script just appears to wait for some windows to appear and then press keys like Up. Why would this cause Chrome to crash? What window are you wanting to set up a trigger for?

Maybe go back to basics, show us some screenshots and instead of posting a script explain the process you are following, the keys you need to press and the outcome you are looking for.

no the macro doesn't cause chrome to crash, i want it to start up when chrome crashes,

When chrome crashes a dialogue box appears asking you to restart? you click yes, it restarts then it ask you to restore lest session, so that is another click. the backspace just clears whatever was in the URL address bar.

For some reason though when the browser crashes the macro isn't starting.

Please send a screenshot of the message that appears when Chrome crashes.

Could you send a capture showing the first window in full, so that we can see the window title.

So it looks like you want your trigger settings as follows:

Trigger Type: Window Event
Trigger: Window Opened
Window Title: Google Chrome
Only When Visible: Checked

Now this assumes there is no other window precisely entitled "Google Chrome" already on the system that is visible.

I have Chrome but I can't find a way to make it crash, nor have I seen it crash for months, so I'm not sure how I can test it out.

isn't there suppose to be macro result and macro true false?

NewScriptee · Post by **NewScriptee** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:11 am

did that and again still doesn't trigger the macro...

NewScriptee · Post by **NewScriptee** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:56 am

okay i set it to run, now when the box appears it just gives the error:

Cannot focus a disabled or invisible window.

which is odd because if i click the button manually for chrome the macro will recognize the next step just not the first yet any suggestions?

NewScriptee · Post by **NewScriptee** » Thu Mar 10, 2011 5:21 pm

OKAY it turned out to be much simpler:

WaitWindowOpen>Google Chrome
SetFocus>Google Chrome
Press Enter
WaitWindowOpen>New Tab - Google Chrome
SetFocus>New Tab- Google Chrome
Wait>2
Mousemove>662,493
LClick

Now the only problem i have is that once it completes it turns off the macro how can i make it go back to a monitor state?

You can use the trigger settings. Or you can use a loop.

1. Using the trigger settings:

In macro properties, click on Triggers then set the trigger up as I suggested previously:

Trigger Type: Window Event
Trigger: Window Opened
Window Title: Google Chrome
Only When Visible: Checked

2. Using a continually looping script:

Change your code as follows:

Code: Select all

Label>start
WaitWindowOpen>Google Chrome 
SetFocus>Google Chrome 
Press Enter 
WaitWindowOpen>New Tab - Google Chrome 
SetFocus>New Tab- Google Chrome 
Wait>2 
Mousemove>662,493 
LClick
Wait>0.2
Goto>start

And then set the macro to run on startup in macro properties run when settings.
