macrouser21 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 I have not had experience with the program yet. Does Macro Express allow you to use the computer while it automates commands (mouse etc.) in a different inactive window, such as a minimized window? If not, is there any program that does do that? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Macro Express interfaces with Windows with something called the 'hooks'. The hooks allow Macro Express to send keystrokes, mouse movements and mouse clicks. Windows will only send keystrokes, mouse movements or mouse clicks to the active window. Depending on how the application you are automating is written you may have some success using the Window Control commands. Either search this forum for 'Window Control' or look in the Macro Express help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
