clicking inside of UAC dialog

Does version 9.0+ of Macro Scheduler allow you to click on the "Continue" or "Cancel" buttons of vista's UAC dialog? I have a script which launches an installer that brings up this dialog when UAC is enabled. Is it possible to click on the Continue button. I have an older version of Macro Scheduler ...

Thanks JRL! I think that did it and it's much simpler. mtettmar, I only briefly looked at the code but how could I modify that to search for processes using a specific module? Here is my situation: I have various automated tasks that run on a daily bases. These processes spawn various child processe...

I see. When I run your script I run into problems when the PID is not 4 digits because then it starts on a different column. For instance a 3 digit PID starts at 31 and 5 digit PIDs start at 29.

killing processes and parsing data file

I am trying to write a script that checks every 5 minutes for "certain" processes that have been running for more than 30 minutes. I find these processes by using: tasklist /M EVENTS.DLL /FI "CPUTIME gt 00:30:00" > C:\test.txt I can figure out the timing aspect but how do I grab the PIDs from the fi...

messages/help returned from command line?

Is it possible for a compiled script to return some type of message/help info in the command line like other dos commands? e.g.

C:\>xcopy /?
Copies files and directory trees.


thanks!

retrieving button name from some dialog/window?

I uninstall a program that has a dialog that comes up during the uninstall. The only way I can tell that it finishes is when the "cancel" button changes to a "finish" button. Is there some way to wait/find this button? I should note that It does have a status bar however I'd like to be able to do ot...

thanks! Why doesn't this work for FileDate though? That seems to be treated as a number

FileDate>c:\test.txt,builddate
Sub>builddate,8
Message>builddate

that returns:
20040999

yesterday's date

How could I get yesterday's date (or tomorrow's for that matter)? This seems trivial but somehow I can't seem to arrive to simple solution :?

Use TightVNC/RealVNC/VNC (Freeware) or another remote software like PC-Anywhere. That'll work. I'd recommend RealVNC over TightVNC. I ran into some odd problems with TightVNC and MacroScheduler. If I hit play and then close the VNC window it causes strange lockup problems with MacroScheduler. I wat...

ConCat using variables generated by Separate

Why doesn't this combination of Separate and ConCat work?

Let>k=0
Repeat>k
Let>k=k+1
ConCat>file_names_%k%,1
Message>file_names_%k%
