Limit a macro's scope to the Windows 7 taskbar?

[TsunamiZ]

Is there a way to limit a macro's scope to the Windows 7 taskbar?

 

Example: I have 2 macros that are activated using the middle mouse click...

 

#1 is set to scope "window title: Program Manager". This limits the scope to the desktop.

 

#2 is set to scope "program name: explorer.exe". Back in ME3, this limits the scope to the taskbar. But now in MEPro, it also works on the desktop and also plays when I activate macro #1--which I don't want. I want the scope limited to the taskbar.

 

Is there a way to fix this?

I've tried adding the Lock Player command to the beginnings of both macros. But macro #2 still interferes with macro #1. Any ideas how to fix this?

a workaround i found is by doing this...

 

if window "program manager" is focused

else

[run macro]

end if

 

this makes the macro run when window title "program manager" [desktop] is NOT focused. thus limiting the macro to run on the taskbar.

I suspect you might be trying to use MEP in ways it was not intended. You might in the future try a more general description of what it is you're trying to accomplish so that we might offer suggestions. It appears to be you are either a highly advanced programmer or you are not 'getting' the idea about what the designed intent was on how to use MEP. For the prior I suggest you consider a real programming language and the later try to embrace the MEP intended usage.
