asking for a suggestion

I have a script that dies right in the middle of sending text. When I look at the Windows task manager, there is no msched running at all, apparently the macro just crashed completely. What is a good way to troubleshoot this? Write a debug statement after each line?? I am in a bit of a quandry as to...

my fix

My fix was to create a small template csv file, with the data comma separated already. Then all I had to do was an XLOpen>file and append data to it. When finished, since it was a pure CSV file, I simpled ignored the header line for good data. Thank you for your reply. I consider this question now c...

Puzzled by first line in Excel behavior

I initially used "XLCreate>" to create what I thought was a pure csv file, but after file creation, a hex editor showed that the file really was an xls file, regardless of the file suffix ending. So I abandoned creating the Excel file this way and did the GnuWin command "touch myfile.csv" which does...

Enforcing ANSI file format question

How can I make sure that all my scp files stay in ANSI format and NOT unicode? I am using some GnuWin emulated linux commands on my windows XP machine to help maintain integrity of the macros. For some reason, just running a Debug session on my 7836 line macro converted it all to unicode. Thanks for...

quick question on ircv.dll

I created an executable using the compile function, but the first time it ran, it failed to find the ircv.dll file. I noticed afterwards that an identical copy of this dll was placed into the scp area where I compiled the executable.

Just curious, why was the copy made into the scp area?

Environment variables restrictions question

How many characters can be allocated to an environment variable? I am trying to use 71 characters, but the setenvvar command doesn't seem to take. It works find for something smaller like "no errors" just fine. Also what characters are we restricted to use? I assume all upper and lower case alphabet...

Control-O and Alt-FO key stroke problems

I have been burning up some hours trying to get MJT macros to work with Internet Explorer. If I bring up IE manually, I can hit CTRL-O keys and it will automatically bring up the open box. However if I bring up IE and then run MJT to send the following >Press CTRL >SendText>O >Release IE acts like i...

Digging into the 2nd panel of a msctls_statusbar32 Question

Does anyone know how to retrieve the controltext of a msctls_statusbar32 window? (standard Microsoft Cstatus) While the GetControlText> works fine for just the text on the first panel, I actually need to get the text from the 2nd panel. I am going to assume that this is going to take some VB program...

found a work around

I was able to use the arrow keys to navigate the keyboard command set and found an alternative way to bring up the menu.

Restoring the mouse pointer (image) question

Has anyone come across this problem? After letting an compiled executable run for several hours, the mouse pointer image changes to different images. Sometimes it is a stack of ^^^^ piled on top of each other, other times it is two split mouse pointers, one superimposed halfway over the other one, s...

Digging into the MDI client's child windows controls

I am struggling to send text and control data to some MDI client windows inside an MDI frame. I have been able to successfully "drill" down into the classes in order to obtain the handles for the child windows embedded in the MDI frame. Here's where I am still uninformed. When I Rclick with the mous...

update

I posted the documentation request from reading the forum about 5 minutes or so previous to Marcus' post, so I didn't see it until I posted. Sorry about that. I was using nested Macro>%SCRIPT_DIR% at first, then went to nested Include>%SCRIPT_DIR% next. Placing all the (helping) macros into subrouti...
