Many of the programs I try using Window Title activation, with Window is Opened as the option, fail to work. They do work if I switch to Window Gains Focus.

 

My test macro is simply:

Text Box Display:

with the text "Macro is running."

 

In most cases, it just never runs.

 

It doesn't matter whether I use Partial (with/without wildcards) or Exact.

 

Of course, most of these are programs which many here might not have installed, thus limiting discussion. But here are examples that are widely accessible:

 

1. Control Panel

2. Event Viewer

3. Services

4. Printers and Faxes

5. My Documents

ete, etc

 

I'm using XP Pro, but I suspect the same issue might apply to other Windows OS versions?

 

Can I get some feedback on whether others see the same please?

I just tried with the Computer Management window in Windows 7. I get the same results as you, i.e. nothing happens with Open, but it works with Focus (but very slowly).

Thanks both.

 

The same operation works fine consistently with another macro program I use, the 12 year old Stiletto. All those examples above immediately popped up a message:

I'll report formally to Insight as a bug.
