The original poster made this comment : NOTE: I have also had problems today with Screen Capture commands not working properly, when they had worked previously. I have already tried rebooting, and also shutting down MSched and re-starting. That helped with the text captures, but not with this proble...

I do not automatically assume that the poster's problem is a coding issue on his part. I can only say that I distinctly remember spending hours on what I thought was something wrong with my Position> code back in July of this year. Unfortunately I no longer have the code, or the proof that it was no...

My guess would be you would NOT have a problem, but you are getting into an area beyond my experience. Marcus is aware of the text capture problem. He would be a better source of advice at this point.

p.s - check your private messages :)

There are various ways that a second copy of Macro Scheduler is automatically started and then that copy ends as soon as the called macro ends. One way is the "Create Desktop Shortcut" option. If you use that option, and then start the desktop shortcut, then any macros that are later started from th...

Try restarting Macro Scheduler to see if the problem goes away. If so, then this may be the same problem that I have reported with various text capture commands. The problem occurs when you invoke a second copy of Macro Scheduler via a bat file or cmd prompt. For some reason that second copy of Macr...

As I stated in the original post, I actually observed the application's mysterious 60 second delay. Without that direct observation, I would have never known there was a problem. In my view , it is not an issue of mismatched log entries. I do not use scheduling of any kind. All macros are initiated ...

Mysterious 60 second delay in logfile

I have a macro that automates an application continuously 24x7. Recently while observing the application I noticed an unexplained delay. While examining the MS log file I uncovered a mysterious 60 second delay that I can not explain. I then added some VBEval>Timer commands to further diagnose the pr...

Locating window scroll bars

Is there any way, short of using the FindImagePos command, of finding the position and/or testing the existence of scroll bars in a window ?

64 bit support for GetTextAtPoint and GetWindowTextEx

Version 10 of Macro Scheduler has some new and powerful window text commands such as GetTextAtPoint and GetWindowTextEx. However these commands do not work on 64 bit applications in a 64 bit OS like Vista Ultimate x64. Examples are Notepad, Wordpad, Task Scheduler and Windows Explorer. GetTextAtPoin...

Another frequent issue that I have experienced is timing. Sometimes the application just cant keep up with Macro Scheduler. Automatic delays between each step using the STEP_DELAY variable is one method. Hard coded delays with the Wait> command along with other commands like WaitwindowOpen> etc are ...
