No.

Thanks Cory.

Could you direct me to Macro Express learning/training resources on the WEB?

Not per se and I'd be surprised if there is really any problem with MEP. One problem I often have in mixed environments is that things like themes, toolbars, and individual setups will cause elements to move. A prime example is increasing the Windows font size or the font size in a theme. Elements are often sized to fit the font and that can change the alignment. EG it makes the toolbar a little fatter now a button below is missed. I recommend you take a screenshot and analyze it with a graphics program that will display the pixel position like IrfanView. I'm willing to bet you find that MEP is doing what you told it to and Windows is changing the position of things based on selected theme. If you like post a couple of screenshots and tell me which is not working and I'll compare myself.

 

BTW in cases like these I will save the positions of things in the registry and reference them on macro load. This way each machine has it's own set of coordinates. Or I'll overlay and find a point that exists in the overlap of the two. I've even made training macros for the end user to create the list of coordinates. And of course the better thing to do is use the Windows Controls feature in MEP for interaction. This way it doesn't matter where the button is.

Cory:

Thanks for your response. I will get the tool and work on getting the answer.

Have you heard of the theme impacting the mouse left click?

Again, we have inconsistent behavior between themes.

Thanks again,

Jim

Has anyone experienced any impact to the mouse position based on the windows theme?

We have 2 themes - pixel coordinates work in the first theme and not in the second theme.

Any suggestions would help.

Thanks
