OK. Sorry if I am being dumb here but I have tried both of the above and they work perfectly. However when I place what I need into my code I still have the same problem. I will elaborate and maybe it will make sense... The way I want this to work is: Block of code 1 begins Dialog is displayed here ...

Thank you.

I didn't see this in the manual Sorry if I missed it.

Hi there, To save myself designing tons of different dialogs I am trying to use a simple variable in my dialog: Dialog>WaitMessage Caption=Track Status Check Width=214 Height=93 Top=CENTER Left=CENTER Max=0 Min=0 Close=1 Resize=0 Label=%wait_msg%,6,22,true Label=Please Wait!,72,6,true Label=This can...

Not sure what you mean mate? I am using Firefox here...

so, your application window still is named Export Audio Mixdown? and you should ALWAYS use the * at the end of window names...it is just more forgiving when you use the first part of the window name followed by an asterisk. what is the name of this app? is it something I could download and test? Ye...

Thank you mate but it didn't do anything:

I tried:
As well just in case... nothing.

Thanks again.

Well I have tried and tried but can get no response from Get or Set control text. I have a feeling this is because the app I am controlling uses non-standard windows etc. (For example Get check box always returns empty as well). Or maybe I have the syntax wrong. The window I am trying to control is ...

Worked perfectly thank you.

Phil, to clarify, %SCRIPT_DIR%, strictly defined, is the location in which the current running script is found. Having said that, I use it quite a bit as the default path to many (not all) things in the execution of a script. Is the capture tool (and any related dll's, etc...) located in the same l...

Did a bit more searching and found:

%SCRIPT_DIR%

Is this what I need? Does that work if teh script is an exe file?

thanks again?

Hi there, Once again this may seem obvious but I have searched and can find no relevant information.

However one of my users could not get the application (which is an .exe file) to ...

Wow! Skunk thanks again, another huge amount of stuff to try out... I'll post back if I get any of it working.

Thank you again.

Hi again. I have now looked into handles and it would completely solve my long winded problem BUT it has created another problem: The window in question is a modal dialog type of thing and it's handle changes every time it is opened. I have tried various methods of getting the handle each time the w...

Look into using the window handle instead of the window name. Not sure how the app is written, but, hopefully, the window handle is the same no matter the name used. let>WIN_USEHANDLE=1 GetActiveWindow>wHandle,wx,wy now you can setfocus, etc...by the window handle.....as for the pushbutton commands...
