Hmm doesn't seem to work for me but my context menus aren't that pixel color. How do you edit these MXE files?

Yeah I was considering that and tried it. Problem is that this app won't let me copy data from the textboxes that are within the Java app. It would make my life sooo much easier if I could. So getting info from the app into ME just isn't working. But for this particular solution the reverse tab seems to work.

Actually now that I revisit Tabbing, I realize I didn't think out of the box. While it may almost never be in the same tab order, it is always the 2nd to the last in the tab order. So... Using this seems to work every time on random screens I've tested. Making use of the reverse tab order. Shift Key Down Repeat Start (Repeat 6 times) Text Type: <TAB> Repeat End Shift Key Up Text Type: <ENTER>

Yeah getting the endless loop isn't the problem as much as getting the "If right mouse click" or "If Pixel color" change. I use the scripting editor as the direct one is just not up to my level yet, and If mouse clikc and Pixel color change are not an option. I've tried creating something within a loop that might look to see if this has happened, but again.. Nothing that I can see that will say change variable N1 to 1 if right mouse button is clicked at any point.

Not really a breakpoint question.. Different question. Is it possible to have the macro wait for either of 2 conditions? Here's what I mean.. Wait for Right mouse click OR wait for a pixel color to change on the screen.

I use a program called "Tweak UI" at http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/c...wertoySetup.exe This is for the XP version but if it's anything like the win2k version there is a tab where one can easily have it login to a specific user every time. I use it on my automated macros every night, when I have the machine reboot at Midnight. Logs in as my test account and then ME starts itself up and macros run on schedule on a clean slate.

Not really possible to post the URL, it's inside of a DB tool that we use internally, and is proprietary so... Bad things happen to Jeremy if He post urls. Also the reason I don't have a more complete screenshot. There is a demo reel out of it at http://www.cobaltgroup.com/products/prospector.jsp# That can give you some ideas on the UI. As to tab order. I do use this quite a bit on other areas of the same product to automate it. However, the Tab order needs to just change by 1 between each screen to mess up that macro. While one screen might have 21 tabs to get to Submit, another might have 30 to get to submit. I can try stuff out too should you have any suggestions? Also feel free to IM me if you would like me try out some stuff, my MSN Messenger info is on my profile.

Ok so I have a screnshot attached to this post with the picture of a button I want ME to find and click. It is within a JAVA based app and the Control finder doesn't recognize it. It is the submit button for a database query, so it will not appear on the same spot twice. I thought of doing something like mapping the pixel colors for a certain area of it and have it loop through attempting to find "this pixel color followed by this pixel by this pixel by this pixel etc..." Hoping there is an easier way. Thoughts?

No CRs.... Got it... Is there any way get Excel not to put in CRs when it saves a CSV file? (Mildly off topic but there ya go)

I just have had nothing but trouble with this command and can't get it to work. Basically what I want is to have in a CSV file a set of usernames and passwords, then have ME load these into variables, so Even variables will be usernames and Odd ones will be passwords. However I just can't get it to process the file right! I'm creating the password list in Excel 2000 and saving it as an MS-DOS CSV file which is attached (Obviously not with usernames and passwords..... )To test it I do this: Clear Text Variables: All ASCII File Begin Process: "test.csv" (Comma Delimited Text ) ASCII File End Process Text Box Display: ( %T1%, %T4%, %T7%, %T97% %T2%, %T5%, %T8%, %T98% %T3%, %T6%, %T9%, %T99%) No luck. This is what is displayed.... TEST98,,, TEST99,,, ,,, When the text box display in between the process I get this.... TEST1,,, TEST2,,, ,,, and when it hit ok at that point, it increments.... TEST3,,, TEST4,,, ,,, etc... What am I not getting here? I want T1 to equal TEST1 and T99 to equal TEST99 with all points in between. test.csv

I too think it's a useless command and needed it to be rock solid. So I did some tweaking an it works fantastic. What I did was changed the "throbber" in the upper right hand corner to be blue when it isn't busy and red when it is busy. Then ME looks for the pixel color change every .5 seconds. It has worked flawlessly ever since. Instructions for changing that animation can be found at... http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/logo_thr.html Look for the heading "Throbber" (What a horrible name)

Excellent! Both useful suggestions and already implemented, thanks!

Ok so I am making some automated tests with ME and I need some help getting around a consistant problem I have. ME will sometimes find some problem, say I mispelled the name of a macro, and put up this text box saying it can't run that macro. Problem is my macro will stall at that point and does not run other macros scheduled after that. So... How do I get ME to not do this. Obviously in this case I needed to make sure the name was spelled right but what I need is for the macro, if it hasn't completed by a certain time to clear the desktop and run the next macro at its scheduled time. Thoughts?

Ok so I've been attempting to get the time from the beginning of the loading of a website to the end of the loading of a website into a text file and I've run into a snag, and there is probably some easy way to do this. The way I went about it was this.. Click on button for webpage (This works fine) Clipboard Start Copy Time:Type Out hh:mm:ss Text type: ; -------- This is a deliniation because this data will be imported by an Excel sheet. Clipboard End Copy Clipboard Append Text: "Test.txt" Wait for Web Page "" Clipboard Start Copy Time:Type Out hh:mm:ss Text type: ; Clipboard End Copy Clipboard Append Text: "Test.txt" However this is what I get in the text file.... <hh:mm:ssP000{Y}{P000}>; <hh:mm:ssP000{Y}{P000}>; <hh:mm:ssP000{N}{P000}>; <hh:mm:ssP000{Y}{P000}>; Thoughts on how I can get this to work? I tried putting it into a variable but couldn't figure out how to get the variable to the clipboard or the text file.
