Windows Automation, or Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for Windows, is the robotic control of software running on Windows. <\/p>\n
The process usually involves simulating user input – keystrokes and mouse events – to control the user interface of other applications, but can sometimes make use of programming interfaces exposed by other applications.<\/p>\n
Robotic Windows Automation software tools such as Macro Scheduler<\/a> provide a specialized scripting language with functions that simplify activating windows and other UI elements and simulating mouse and keyboard events.<\/p>\n The software includes other features to make the creation of Windows Automation macros easier, such as the Macro Recorder<\/a>, WebRecorder<\/a>, Code Builders and Wizards.<\/p>\n Advanced features like image recognition make it possible to control anything that can be seen on the screen regardless of the technology used to create the applications to be automated. <\/p>\n To get started with building your first macro see: Windows Automation for Beginners<\/a><\/p>\n
