Image recognition in Parallels VM

I cannot get the image recognition function to detect basic images when run under a Parallels VM (Windows 10 Pro). I have used it successfully in VMWare VMs previously, however the most recent version of Parallels seems to be much better than VMWare's offerings so I have started using this. Has anyo...

Initiate script on PC from iPhone?

Conceptual question :

Is there any straightforward way to start / run a MS script on a PC using my iPhone?

I realise that I can do it with TeamViewer (or similar desktop viewing software) but I'm wondering if there is a neater and more elegant way?

Thoughts appreciated.

Interact with javascript buttons for pagination

I am working on a web scraper for a table. I have successfully set up extraction of relevant data from the table so far. I am trying to figure out the best way to manage pagination. I have attempted to use Macroscheduler to identify the "next button" object, however this has proven unsuccessful. I h...

Send notification to iPhone

I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on using MacroScheduler to send push notifications to an iPhone. I realise that it can be done via email, and there are threads on doing this with android / windows phones, however I am interested in iPhones. I can see that Prowl/Growl might potentially be usef...

Re: Get window handles of multiple instances

My current working script works by: - image recognition to detect and count each instance of the window - using this image recognition, it brings each successive window into focus and retrieves the handle using WIN_USEHANDLE=1 and GetActiveWindow. - each successive handle is then stored in an array ...

Get window handles of multiple instances

I have a program that has multiple instances open. I want to retrieve the handles of each instance so that I can interact with each in my macroscheduler script. Each window has the same window name. I was wondering if searching for window handles by window name was possible however I understand this...

Re: Find Object Wizard crashing

After all my investigations, I have : - reinstalled windows 8.1 - removed all unnecessary hardware It turns out the solution has been to log in to Win 8.1 with a local account (as in not using a Microsoft Account) . I have no idea why this would make a difference, however it seems to work. I now hav...

Re: Find Object Wizard crashing

In an effort to figure this out I have:

- completely reinstalled Windows 8.1
- MacroScheduler Pro as my only other software installed

The Find Object Wizard is still crashing. It is doing it even when I lower the screen resolution that I am using.

Any thoughts ? This is driving me crazy.

Find Object Wizard crashing

PROBLEM: Find Object Wizard crashing in current version I used the Find Object Wizard (FOW) today and have found that it seems to be crashing. Initially it seemed somewhat random, although there appeared to be a pattern that it was when I moved the crosshairs to the right of my screen. I wondered w...

FindObject Wizard - ? portable version for use on target PC

The FindObject Wizard is immensely helpful but I have a quick question: Is there a 'portable' version of the FindObject Wizard that we can use on (target) PCs that do not have MacroScheduler installed? I have some computers that I wish to create an .exe with MacroScheduler, and these computers do no...
