terrypin Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 This one line macro consistently fails for me. Window Activate: Macro Express Pro - Explorer <WINDOW ACTIVATE Title="Macro Express Pro - Explorer" Exact_Match="TRUE" Wildcards="FALSE" _IGNORE="0x0006"/> Yet if I change that from Exact to Partial match, it's OK.

Cory Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 It works for me in both methods on 4.3.0.1 & W7-64U. Perhaps it's due to the existence of hidden windows. Macro Express Pro - Script Editor [Test]Macro Express Pro - Script Editor (Test)Macro Express Pro - ExplorerMacro Express Pro ExplorerMacro Express PlayerMacro Express Pro[/Code]These are all the ones I see related to MEP even though there are only two visible. I was wondering if somehow you were trying to activate a hidden window. Like if the window order was different than mine and the partial found a hidden first in your case.

Thanks for taking the trouble to test it. I found a window in the Hidden list that had exactly the same name so I thought I'd choose that instead. But that still failed to activate the window. What [u]does[/u] work, although I confess I don't understand why, is to change the name to another entry in the Visible list, [b]Macro Express Explorer[/b], which is the name of the [u]taskbar[/u] entry. --Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 There have been other questions about the exact/partial match. It would be interesting to know the logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
