  1. It depends on the program that you are running the macro in. It is possible that the child (sub) window is actually a control, in which case, Macro Express will not resize it as there is no way to resize a control. If the child window is a separate window, than it should be able to resize it without any problems. Unfortunately, in your case, it sounds like it is a control.

  2. You cannot delete the file from within Macro Express. However, the file can be deleted by using My Computer or File Explorer. Just browse to the location where the file is stored and then right click on it and select Delete.

     

    Macro Files have an extension of .mex. You can see the current macro file's location in the Macro Explorer above the list of macros.

  3. You would need to change the screen resolution for this to work properly as the location does rely on the resolution. You can change the resolution using the Default Display Size command found under the System Category. The only trick will be to find a resolution that is common to all of the displays. The list that is displayed when using the Default Display command will list only the resolutions available to your computer.

  4. We have seen this kind of behavior in a few programs. Usually it is a program that uses some sort of an auto-correct or auto complete. We have found that when these functions are turned off, ShortKeys functions will run properly.

     

    We have also found in some web applications, mostly gaming lobbies, that updating your java drivers will remedy the problem as well.

  5. We searched through our bug tracking system, but were unable to find your report.

     

    As stated on the bug report page, personal replies are not sent out unless we need more information regarding the report when resolving the issue. If you wish to receive a personal reply, than you should e-mail us at: support@wintools.com. When contacting us, please be prepared to provide your license information.

  6. Is it the first command that you issue after the web page is loaded? If so, you will need to place a Wait For Web Page command after the Web Site command (You can also check the Option to Wait for Webpage on the Web Page command).

     

    If it is not the first command after the Web Page command, you may need a small delay as the keyboard buffer may be overloaded and thus, skipping the Tab.

  7. This is because Macro Express is monitoring the keyboard buffer and it sees that <ENTER> because it has not yet been cleared out. In situations like this, it is best to change the Wait key to a key other than <Enter>.

  8. Version 3.7 has added a new feature under the Preferences to do this. Click on Options and then select Preferences. Select the Miscellaneous option on the left and then click on the Advanced button in the bottom right corner of the window. Uncheck the HotKey Abort option to suppress the abort message.

     

    If you are using an earlier version of Macro Express 3, you can download the tweakme file from http://www.macros.com/downmore.htm. This is a playable macro that you can run to change certain settings in Macro Express that would otherwise be impossible to change.

  9. Is your macro file on a network drive? If so, then it will remain checked as this feature is needed for shared macro files. If you are getting this error on a network drive, it is because you do not have full read-write permissions for that location which, unfortunately means that you will need to restart Macro Express to edit a newly captured macro.

  10. In cases like this, it is sometimes just a matter of speed. The macro may be sending the arrow down command before the query has had time to complete. You may want to try breaking up the text type command with a small delay, such as 2 or 3 milliseconds. This should allow the computer ample time to finish the query, fill in the field and then press the arrow down.

  11. If you are referring to the Windows pop-up when you right-click your mouse, than the answer is unfortunately, no.

     

    If you are asking about the Macro Express pop-up, than the answer is yes. You can change the coordinates under the Properties tab when you double click on your macro from the scripting editor.

  12. You need to release the Control Key before the macro will launch.

     

    You may have more success using the Macro Run command. The calling macro will run macro A and then once that macro has completed, it will run macro B. The Macro Run command does require that your macros have a nickname as this is how you select the macro to be run.

  13. We tested this on a Vista 32-bit machine. We found that it had some issues . This is most likely because of thumbnails that you have been seeing. We have made some changes in the code that help Macro Express differentiate between the two and have been able to get to run reliably. We hope to get a new version posted soon so everyone will be able to take advantage of the new feature.

  14. You can use the Repeat with Folder command. The macro would look something like this:

    Repeat with Folder
     Variable Modify Integer: %N1% = %N1% + 1
    Repeat End

    You could then use variable %N1% to tell the macro how many times to repeat.
