I was playing around with the new Internet Explorer 9 Beta on my test system which is using Windows 7 Pro x64 and Macro Scheduler 12.0.9. IE9 Beta definitely has some performance improvements over IE8 but some other changes are not to my liking :shock: I noticed some Macro Scheduler text capture com...

I found something similar starting with MS 11.1.17 Check this thread http://www.mjtnet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6300 Also the Help file for WaitWindowOpen contains notes on system variable WF_TYPE. I changed some of my scripts to use WF_TYPE=2 and was able to improve performance somewhat. " It is p...

I had significant performance issues starting with MS 11.1.17. There was a fix applied that : "Fixed: Window commands - if wildcard not specified child/MDI windows would not be found" In my scripts I was using several OnEvent>WINDOW_OPEN commands. Once these commands were executed, everything slowed...

Thanks Gale . Moving the SkipLabel command seems to work. I still think there might be a MS bug here since moving the end_macro code also "fixes" the problem as mentioned in my original post.

I am having problems with Onevent and Skiplabel commands : OnEvent>WINDOW_NEWACTIVE,0,0,NewWin let>j=0 label>restart let>dummy= let>j=j+1 wait>0.2 if>j>50 mdl>time out exit>0 endif goto>restart label>end_macro mdl>%NewWin_title% ended exit>0 Srt>NewWin GetActiveWindow>NewWin_title,xpos,ypos Let>patt...

hi, I am current working on Windows XP on 32-bit. I am trying to fetch the contents displayed in "control panel" window using GetWindowTextEx>Control Panel,str But, when I execute the script, sometimes all the contents is not getting stored in 'str'. Some text gets missed for few runs. Please let m...

I've been getting errors from the Mjtnet RSS feed for the past several days. Error message : This feed contains errors. Internet Explorer will try updating this feed again later If I delete the feed and try to recreate it I get : An invalid character was found in text content. Line: 387 Character: 1...

The imbedded " " marks in the window text can cause problems for Macro Scheduler. If you insert a StringReplace>strText,",*,strText after the GetWindowTextEx the script should work. The reason I asked about the OS you are using is that I am getting "consistently inconsistent" results with some of th...

I would think that GetWindowTextEx might be the best option. You can parse the output with the Separate command. GetTextatPoint only gets the text on one line and may not be what you want. The older GetWindowText may not get you anything useful. You have to experiment to find out. You mentioned some...

Thank you. I had only tested JRL's first script. It looks like his second script also works by starting the cmd prompt without using the Run> command. I had to make changes to the script since it appears to work only with a classic start menu.

I have already tried the technique you proposed but there is no change. Just to double check, I copied your script and tried it but there was no improvement :( :( FYI ..I also tried this on Windows 7 X64 RC1 ..same problem but different error messages Z:\Program Files (x86)\Macro Scheduler 11>vssadm...

The VSSADMIN error messages are the same whether I use /c or /k with or without >>vss.txt port. The key issue appears to be running certain commands in a 64 bit OS. If I enter the commands manually they work fine. Its only when I use Macro Scheduler (which is a 32 bit program) that I have issues. An...

I am trying to use Macro Scheduler Pro 11.1.15 to automate a daily run of the command VSSADMIN LIST SHADOWSTORAGE This script works fine on a Vista x86 (32bit) system : let>RP_ADMIN=1 let>RP_WAIT=1 Run>"cmd.exe" /c vssadmin list shadowstorage >> G:\doc\vss.txt exit>0 However when I run the same scri...

I am trying to automate an IE8 web page using Macro Scheduler 11. What I need is a way to automatically move the mouse to the current field hilighted by the Tab key ?? If I can get the mouse to that location, then I can use the GetTextatPoint command to extract the data that I need. I can't seem to ...

Thank you for the help
