Roboscripter Hints

Keywords: 	 roboscripter hints

Question:

A couple of hints on issues I've run into with Roboscripter.

Found that the cClickButton quite often has to be changed to cPostButton in order to work correctly. Also, a WinWaitExist, or a While loop waiting for the window handle, or a pause has to be included for windows that take time to appear. The While loop sometimes has to be used waiting for a handle, even when the window is showing...

Answer:

  1. With SendMessage, a message is sent and the program waits for a response for each message.

    With Postmessage it does not wait for a response, so if come program is not responding....it does not stop.

  2. Yes, you will still need to add code to Wait for windows to appear, etc. Roboscripter is meant as a tool to get the script roughed out, and then you need to go back in and customize the script for your individual application.
