Taskbar

[Rick T]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how I can get a macro to access the taskbar properties (I want to change the autohide property) in Windows 2000? I've tried the 'Get Control' feature but cannot get it to work on anything in the taskbar.

 

Thanks

I can bring up the taskbar's properties by right-clicking in the taskbar and pressing the Up Arrow and then Enter keys. You should be able to perform these steps using a macro.

 

Mouse Move Screen 1111, 1011
Mouse Right Button Click
Text Type: <ARROW UP>
Delay 0.1 Seconds
Text Type: <ENTER>

 

You will need to adjust the coordinates used in the Mouse Move Screen command. Also, you may want to make your macro work with different screen resolutions by calculating the screen size and using the Get Pixel Color command to determine an empty area of the taskbar.

Thanks Kevin,

 

I've tried your suggestion and it works great.

 

I appreciate the help.
