 |
|
Why does this script not highlighten the opened web-page?
| Code: | Run, www.yahoo.com
MouseMove, 0, 0 ; Prevents the status bar from showing a mouse-hover link instead of "Done".
WinWait, Yahoo! -
WinActivate
StatusBarWait, Done, , , , , 20
if ErrorLevel
MsgBox the command timed out before a match could be found in the status bar.
else
Send ^a ; Highlighten the opened page |

| Code: |
Run, www.yahoo.com
MouseMove, 0, 0 ; Prevents the status bar from showing a mouse-hover link instead of "Done".
WinWait, Yahoo! -
WinActivate
StatusBarWait, Done, 10
if ErrorLevel
MsgBox the command timed out before a match could be found in the status bar.
else
Send {tab}{tab}^a ; Highlight the opened page
return |
read the doc on statusbarwait...
the tabs are needed so the focus is in a position on the yahoo page to highlight everything. otherwise the focus is in the search field (or button) and a ^a does not hit the page, just the search field. |

Thank you, except I don't understand why you've changed
parameters in in StatusBarWait command. I wanted the status
bar to be checked - while the command is waiting - every
20 milliseconds. Why did you take this parameter away?

oh, i had assumed  that you wanted the statusbarwait to timeout after 20 seconds. StatusBarWait, Done, , , , , 20 is correct for what you wanted to do. |
