jerz653 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 Hi everyone, I am running into an issue with a macro I am building and I'm not sure if a preference in Windows 7 is the reason or not. I have an application that is running 4 sessions. The macro is set to restore each window and log me in using the keyboard/type text command. After it completes that, it is set to minimize the window and then restore the next one and repeat the process. It seems to run perfectly when the sessions are not grouped together on the taskbar. However, when the windows are grouped, it only successfully logs me into 1 of the 4 sessions. This is being built for several users (hopefully) so I'm not sure what their preferences are as it relates to the taskbar. I was hoping to build this so that it will run successfully whether their sessions are grouped or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Quote
Look_Up Posted October 18, 2014 Report Posted October 18, 2014 When all Windows have the same name, MEP get in trouble. But you can try Text Type: Alt+Tab to change the tab. Or "Windows Control" that every windows get his own ID. Can you make a video from your problem ?! Quote

acantor Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 I have this code sample that is supposed to illustrate Handle variables. I am not sure where it came from, but I modified the code. No guarantees that it works! Quote
