TsunamiZ Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Anyone know if there is a way to set focus to the Windows 7 taskbar [without clicking and without win key]? It has no window title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acantor Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Get Control: (EXPLORER.EXE) Using z-order -> %TaskBar% Set Focus to %TaskBar% This seems to work. I set: Top Level Window Caption = * Use wildcards: checked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 It depends on what you want to do. <WIN>+B switches focus to the program that displayed a message in the notification area. <WIN>+T cycles focus through programs on the taskbar. Microsoft has an article that documents keyboard shortcuts for Windows 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoderickMabry Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Get Control: (EXPLORER.EXE) Using z-order -> %TaskBar% Set Focus to %TaskBar% This seems to work. I set: Top Level Window Caption = * Use wildcards: checked I have a similar issue. As Alan suggested, I solved my initial problem using this method. However after 3 or 4 cycles it decides to say control does not exist. And fails. Now I cannot get it to work at all. Even if I restart the target app or restart Macro Express Pro. The control is an edit control it appears like this... http://screencast.com/t/Bqbl7KOhEi I even tried and it work for at least 1 cycle. Get Control: (WSCEOKRNL.DLL) Using coordinates -> %email% with restore window. Set Focus to %email% The debug says email has a control for a value. But it fails on the Set Focus with control does not exist. Here is a different look. <GET CONTROL Flags="0" Program_Name="WSCEOKRNL.DLL" Class="THostForm.UnicodeClass" Title="Web CEO" Control="\"\",\"MDIClient\",\"Submission :: fpnproductions.com :: http://fpnproductions.com/\",\"TSubmit.UnicodeClass\",\"\",\"TstNotebook.UnicodeClass\",\"Setup\",\"TstPage.UnicodeClass\",\"\",\"TstNotebook.UnicodeClass\",\"OwnersDetails\",\"TstPage.UnicodeClass\",\"\",\"TstPanel.UnicodeClass\",\"Enter webmaster or owner's details\",\"TstGroupBox.UnicodeClass\",\"\",\"TstEdit.UnicodeClass\"" Variable="%email%" Caption="*" Partial="TRUE" Wildcards="TRUE" _COMMENT="email"/> <SET FOCUS Control="%email%"/> Any ideas on how to proceed? How to confirm this is a bug. Or just a bad marriage with WSCEOKRNL.DLL? Or user error? Or workaround? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
