Using Get Control

[ffortino]

Hi,

 

I'm new to ME

 

I tried using GET CONTROL

and MOUSE CLICK ON CONTROL

in the AVG anti virus program

 

the control is found and assigned to C1, but running the macro

causes an error

 

Is there a way that the program (AVG) can disable

a control, so that ME cannot click on the control?

 

Thanks,

[Linda]

Hi,

 

I'm still rather new to Macro Express myself, but I'll give you my experience in case that helps. (Also, I'm using a slightly older version of Macro Express, 3.0.4.1)

 

I suspect you may be clicking on the control before it's become active. Clicking on an inactive conrol causes the older version of ME to crash, I imagine in the newer version that's been fixed to just "give an error" as you describe.

 

Try using a "Wait" statement to wait for a fraction of a second after the window appears before grabbing and clicking the control. This helped me with a problem similer to the one you describe.
