You could try using the Mouse Click on Control command.

The DirectX framework disables keyboard hooks to improve performance in the game which means Macro Express never sees the keystroke while in game play. The chat window is most likely a standard window that does have access to the hooks, which is why the keystrokes will play back in it. Unfortunately, this means that there is no way to get the hotkeys to work while in game play.

The controls refer only to items in the program, such as text boxes or drop down menus. If you attempt to send a Page Up or Page Down, Windows will intercept it and send it to the current running window.

Here are the commands that you will need. These commands can all be accessed from the Scripting Editor. Variable Restore Integer Variables //This command can be found under Variables If Variable %N1% =0 //Look under Logic to find this command Variable Set Integer %N1% to 1 //This command is under Variables End If //Found in Logic Text Type: %N1% //Found under Text Variable Modify Integer: %N1% = %N1% + 1 //Found under Variables Variable Save Integer Variables //Found under Variables

You could try doing it with the Variable Save and Varible Restore commands. Your macro would need to start with a Variable Restore command. You could then set an if statement to check to see if the variable equals zero. If it does, you will need to increment it to one. You can then have it type out the variable using the text type command and then increment the variable by using the Variable Modify Integer command. The last command should be the Variable Save command. The Variable Save and Variable Restore commands will only work if you do not run any other macros in between that also use variables. It will also not work if you shut Macro Express down and then restart it as the variables will be reset to zero.

If you do not turn off your computer, or run any other macros in between these macros, you can use the Variable Save command to save your information. You can then use the Variable Restore command in the next macro to load and then manipulate the variables for the next macro. If you do turn off your computer or run other macros, you will need to save the information to a file by saving the information to the clipboard and then saving the clipboard info to a text file. You can then use the Variable Set command to load the information in for the next macro. You can then manipulate the variable information for the next macro.

There is a schedule option for macro activation. If you have already written the macro, open it to the Scripting Editor. Above the list of commands are five tabs. Click on the tab named Properties. On the right side of the window are the activation options for the Macro, click on the Schedule option and then click on the Set Schedule button to set the activation schedule. If you are creating the macro, you can select Schedule as the activation type by clicking on the Schedule radio button on the Add Macro window. If you click on the Other option under Run Macro, you can set the macro to run every 1 hour and 10 minutes, or whatever increment you wish.

There are a couple of options. 1) The Window Title does not have to be a full title, so if even part of the title is the same, you could use that. 2) You could use the get pixel color at a certain location that changes color, such as the download status bar. This could be put in a Repeat Until command. The color would be stored in a variable and you could set the loopup to repeat until that variable equals that color. 3) The Wait for Mouse Cursor command can sometimes be used. If the busy cursor is used while downloading, you could use a wait command to wait for the arrow cursor.

There is not a way to prevent a user from stopping a macro after it has been activated. You can change the command from Scroll Lock + Pause by clicking on Options|Preferences and selecting Playback from the list of options. Unfortunately, this is as close as it comes.

Try clicking on Options and then selecting Preferences from the Macro Explorer to activate the Options window. Select ShortKeys from the options on the left side of the window. This will display the preferences to activate a ShortKey. Double check and make sure all of the settings are the same as on one of your working machines.

The Macro Abort message can be turned off by downloading the TweakMe Macro from: http://www.macros.com/downmore.htm. This is a playable macro that you can save to your desktop and run by double clicking on it. When you run the macro, it will activate a window with several options. Check the option "Macro Stop Abort Message" and then press the OK button. This will then give you the option to either turn message off or on.

If you are using the Repeat Command, you will need to specify the number of times you wish to have the macro repeat. Using this method, you would need to use a Start Repeat, then a Mouse Right Button Click command followed by a Delay command. The final command is the End Repeat command.

The easiest way to do this is to make a copy of the macro file and move it to where you would like the new file. You can then click on File and select Open Macro File. Browse to the new location to open that file. You can then delete the original file from the My Documents Folder.

Below are the instructions listed on the Microsoft website: 1. Quit any programs that are running. 2. Click Start, and then click Run. Type regedit and click OK. 3.

With New Value #1 selected, type AcbControl, and then press ENTER. 5. On the Edit menu, click Modify. In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, click Decimal under Base. Type 1 in the Value data box.

Some web forms block certain characters in text fields. Can you manually type a period in the field?

I just checked the Firefox forums and found that Control F5 will force a refresh.

This feature will tentatively be added in a later release as an option.

This is a bug in older versions of Firefox. According to their website, it has been fixed. You might want to try downloading the latest version if you have not already done so.

There is no way to set up a pop-up or floating menu to run only when a specific window is running. There are two options to work around this. The first is to set the macro's scope to run in only that window. You would then have to launch the macro manually. You would then have to close the menu when you were done with the macro. The second option is to create a macro that will activate on the Window Title. The macro would need to use the Macro Run command. You would then need to close the menu when you were done.
