May I suggest to add the ability to show a visual representation of "area on the screen" coordinates? Such as by showing a transparent colored box overlay. This can aid in creating clickable areas over specific areas of the screen.

Also, it would be helpful to be able to draw such a box on screen as an alternate method to input "area on the screen" coordinates.

BUG: I have a simple macro scheduled to play a sound at startup. But the macro running tray icon sometimes doesn't auto hide after it finishes running during startup. It just stays there forever. As a workaround when this happens, I have to manually exit and restart Macro Express Pro to make it disappear. This bug happens about 10% of the time and has been happening for a long time now, even in older versions. Can this be fixed?

Macro Express Pro 4.3.0.1

Windows 7 x64

nah, i just submit them both at the same time for the quickest way of doing things

i do also submit them officially. but i also post here to get replies from the community in case of anything.

When selecting an icon for a macro, may I suggest to default the icon preview to "48x48 - true color/alpha blend"? Currently, it is using "48x48 - 16 colors" and looks very bad. In fact, I don't understand why there is even an option to select less quality colors for this. Can this be improved in the next version?

How about add the ability to set scope based on "window class"? Such as in this screenshot example from the StrokeIt mouse gesture program. This is more useful in some situations. It is also necessary for some processes that don't have a window title. Additionally, an .exe can have different window classes, so using window class can provide greater specificity.

How about add the ability to activate macros using...

- mouse back/forward side buttons

- mouse wheel scroll up/down

- mouse wheel tilt left/right

This will allow us to activate more macros by simply using the mouse.

"open" as in "loaded"

is there a simpler way? like is there an .exe that runs when there are new windows updates?

I'm on Windows 7. Anyone know how to make a macro that is activated when new Windows Updates are available?

btw, i used this for a macro that is activated with a middle click on the taskbar

May I suggest to add the option to identify programs by "window class"? Similar to "window title" or "file name", but an alternative to them.

As shown in the screenshot sample from StrokeIt mouse gesture program...

BUG: "Wait for LEFT mouse click" command doesn't work when clicking in system tray right click menus. If we use it, the macro just pauses at that command because it doesn't detect the left mouse click. And then we have to manually cancel the macro. Can this be fixed?

NOTE: "Wait for RIGHT mouse click" isn't affected by this bug.

Windows 7 x64 SP1
MEP 4.4.1.1

Can we have longer macro nicknames? This would be useful because it allows us to write more descriptive nicknames or write short notes in the nicknames.

i finally found a way to do this on windows 7 using the flip 3d [WIN+TAB]. unlike ALT+TAB, the order of flip 3d is reliable. so i add this to the end of the macro...

<WIND><TAB>

delay 10 ms

<WINU>

i hope it helps someone else too

May I suggest to add logics: "If Mouse Wheel Scroll Down" and "If Mouse Wheel Scroll Up"?

Is there any command that can be used to count the number of active windows in the Windows 7 taskbar? If not, may I suggest adding such a command in a future version?

The way I would use such a command is...

I'm on Windows 7. I have to activate a macro on the taskbar and I want it to activate the last focussed window after the macro runs. Anyone know if there is a macro method to switch back to a previously focussed window after running a macro? It has to be a previously focussed window and not a specific window. I've already tried various (SHIFT+)ALT+TAB tricks but they don't work reliably because results differ between having 1 or 2+ windows active in the taskbar.

Is there any command that can be used to count the number of active windows in the Windows 7 taskbar? If so, then maybe I can make it work using "if" logics.

i prefer macro express to have the ability. it would make things simpler than adding another program.

How about add the ability to activate macros with either mouse wheel scroll up or down?

Please add ability to activate macros with mouse buttons 4 / 5 [back / forward] and tilt wheel [left / right]. That would give us an extra 4 macro buttons on the mouse.

Yes, it works. I set my wheel click to Ctrl-J, and wrote a mcro activated by Ctrl-J. When I clicked the wheel, the macro ran.

that method is by hotkey. i'm interested in knowing if the command line method works [such as via macexp.exe and the meproc.exe]. more info can be found in the help under "Command Line Parameters". has anyone tried that?

For example:

"C:\Program Files\Macro Express Pro\MeProc.exe" /A::c:\My Macros\Test Macros.mex?Test macro

i dont use any logitech item that have G keys yet. but i'm curious to know if the command line approach mentioned does work or not. so if anyone has tested this with logitech G keys, please post to let us know.

but the Logitech SetPoint software wouldn't have the same level of macro features that ME has. so i was wondering if my question was possible.

Is it possible to use Logitech G keys to trigger Macro Express macros? Logitech has these extra programmable keys for their hardcore mouses and keyboards. For example, I'm interested in the Logitech G700 mouse. Is there a way to get those G keys to DIRECTLY trigger Macro Express macros? [Directly--as in not needing to substitute in normal hotkeys as a bridge.]
