 Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2008 10:59 pm Post subject: How to use Script recorder |
 |
|
I tried recording key strokes Alt+F5 with Script recorder and it yielded the
following script "Send, {ALTDOWN}{F5}{ALTUP}".
I then pasted the script into notepad and saved it with the .ahk extension.
I was hoping that would initiate the action, but, no such luck.
Thankfully a guest member of the forum told me to use this script
"Send, !{F5}" and that has done the trick.
What concept about script recorder am I misunderstanding?
I was under the assumption it was similar to recording a macro in excel.
Please enlighten me
Thanks in advance,
EvilDave |

Not positive, but I think the first code should have worked...

Incidentally, I tested it o my Libretto, so 98.
While writing this post, I tested the exact same code in XP.
Also incidentally, I susgest people not ue the scriptwriter. There are much better ways of making the script do what you want, and the scriptwriter code always has to be massaged into what you want anyway, so why not write from scratch?

most use macro recorders to create examples to modify helps the learning curve they learn from how the script writer executes and what form it takes it beats the heck out of rtfm if you only ever going to use it once or twice
But in the end i agree it is as macro recorders go, one of the worst examples of one out there
