terrypin Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Many of the programs I try using Window Title activation, with Window is Opened as the option, fail to work. They do work if I switch to Window Gains Focus. My test macro is simply: Text Box Display: with the text "Macro is running." In most cases, it just never runs. It doesn't matter whether I use Partial (with/without wildcards) or Exact. Of course, most of these are programs which many here might not have installed, thus limiting discussion. But here are examples that are widely accessible: 1. Control Panel 2. Event Viewer 3. Services 4. Printers and Faxes 5. My Documents ete, etc I'm using XP Pro, but I suspect the same issue might apply to other Windows OS versions? Can I get some feedback on whether others see the same please? -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acantor Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 With this command, I have discovered no consistency with opening windows and gaining focus. In some context one works, and sometimes the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I just tried with the Computer Management window in Windows 7. I get the same results as you, i.e. nothing happens with Open, but it works with Focus (but very slowly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrypin Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Thanks both. The same operation works fine consistently with another macro program I use, the 12 year old Stiletto. All those examples above immediately popped up a message: I'll report formally to Insight as a bug. -- Terry, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
