Macro Scheduler 10 introduces powerful screen text capturing functions which can retrieve almost all kinds of text. The image recognition functions have been optimised and FindImagePos has benefited from a 30-50 fold speed increase, making the time taken to find a bitmap on a 1600x1200 screen almost instantaneous. Version 10.1, released April 2008 further adds native database functions. The debugger has been uprated and improved to allow multiple breakpoints and the ability to run through to end or next breakpoint from current debug step. There are also new functions, new features and many other improvements. See below for details.

Fixes/Improvements:

Fixed naming sequence of buttons and labels on custom dialogs (see backward compatibility note below)
Fixed: ScreenCapture command crashes if Y2 < Y1 or X2 < X1
Fixed: MSG_XPOS, MSG_YPOS not working correctly to position Message on secondary monitor.
Fixed: "string"" in complex expression causing "Unterminated String" error in infinite loop.
Fixed: FileBrowse object caused modal dialogs to close.
Fixed: debugger skips line immediately after breakpoint.
Fixed: tray icon now recreated if explorer crashes and restarts
QuickHelp syntax helper no longer confused by parms containing complex expressions
Enlarged Rename Macro dialog.
Fixed: 0 for modifier key in KEY_DOWN event was treated as NONE or ANY, not just NONE
Added default variable names for many return vars in code builder.
Allow Multiple Instances now defaults to off on first run
Fixed: Bad Numeric Format error stuck in infinite loop
Fixed timeout parm of WaitRectChanged not accepting variable

New in 10.1 (07/04/2008):
Fixed: Hang in macro properties when using mouse scrollwheel and pressing left mouse button at same time
Fixed: Complex expression containing a comma when used in If statement would cause incorrect results
Fixed: A dialog with ONE OF TOP OR LEFT set to center had BOTH set to center after editing
Fixed: Duplicate SRTs with same name would cause infinite loop
Fixed: Script files sometimes being deleted after editing after a Search
Fixed: Dialog checkbox captions can now be set by variable
Fixed: "End of factor" error that could occur in Until statement

Backward Compatibility:

This version fixes an issue where button and label dialog objects were inconsistently named. The name reported by the dialog designer did not match the name assigned at runtime. The naming sequence was incorrect. In order to provide the SetDialogObjectFont and allow for future possible functionality we had no alternative but to fix this issue. Unfortunately, however, this means that any existing scripts which refer to buttons or labels by name may have to be edited. It is unlikely that this will affect many people. If you do have any custom dialog scripts which manipulate buttons or labels programmatically you will need to verify that the correct name is being used. To check the correct object name edit the dialog in the dialog designer and double click on the button/label and you will see the correct name reported at the top of the properties dialog. Use this name when referring to the object in the script.
