shaidyn Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hi there, I'm trying to make a macro using a control variable. I lauch the utility, drag the purple X over the window, and it fills in something like this in the details: > . - [Program] When I hit okay to save the control details to the variable, it says "You must first select a control. Please correct." How do I grab a control if the program's developers didn't give it a name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 They don't think they need a name. Are you sure it's a Windows Form control? Many things are not. For instance you cant reach into a Java control running in a web browser. What is the application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaidyn Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 It's not in a web browser, so I'm not sure what it could be. Here's a picture of the error: Everything else on my machine doesn't seem to have a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Please answer my question. What is the application? The program your'e trying to interact with. There are many different things like Java. Just because it looks like a control doesn't mean it's a Windows Form Control. What's more I think some applications like games who actively block control access so people can't write game-bots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrypin Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hi Cory, As the OP hasn't yet answered your question ... it's a graphics computer game. "ArcheAge is an MMORPG developed by Korean developer Jake Song (former developer of Lineage) and his development company, XL Games. The game was released in Korea on January 15, 2013, Europe and North America on September 16, 2014, and has also had a closed beta in China." I think MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. --Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acantor Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 The caption text contains today's date, so the caption changes every day. You might be able to make this work if you switch "Exact Match" to "Partial Match," and then specify only the part of the caption that is unchanging, e.g., - ArcheAgeorArchAge DX11 or whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
