Build ANY Application Yourself In Minutes!

Thanx deedbr for the info .

Instead of

1. Send mouse click
Send a left mouse button down event at 507, 131 (Relative to Active Window) ******* Coordinates for my url bar yours will be a little different
i can use the following :
Code:
2. Send Keys
   Enter the following into the text box. {F6}
This will highlight the adress bar !!

Thanx once again and cheers.

I will be completing my yahoo answer macro soon , will post the exe after i have completed and tested it.
 
No Thank you


That just made one more step even more reliable in my opinion. Any time I can stay away from mouse coordinates I am happy.

Thanks,
Dennis

Hey,

Nice post. I'm just wondering I have automate 6 enterprise do you know if it will do the same as winautomation or will I need that one.
I am new to this app building so I'm not sure if I can make it .exe when app is complete.

It looks like it will be great once I get passed the learning curve.

Any comparison on the two programs would be greatly appreicated.

Cheers

I am interested in this too.

There was a thread a while back raving about Automate 6 it seems WinA can create .exe files which is the big benefit. I am guessing Automate is better for more complex tasks. I think A 6 is pitched at IT companies where as WinA is easier to use.

Hope this helps

:)
 
I have been using WinA for quite a few days. I have built a yahoo answer macro and now i will be starting a Link wheel macro !! WinA is quite easy to use in my opinion.

But the main disadvantage for me about these macros is they cant be run silently in the background. they have to be in the active window.

Any one knows how to build bots which can run silently ?

Hi,

I haven't been able to find a working ver of win A so I still can't compare. Yes, it is true that the A 6 site is geared to IT but from what I see it is feature rich. It is very easy to use as it is drag and drop but I don't know enough to know even now if it can be made into .exe.

As for running silently. I haven't seen anything in A 6 that says it must be the active window. Anyone able to ocnfirm this for me?

I wouldn't mind a copy of WinA 3 but so far no luck. I found A2.04 but didn't work sooooo, I'll keep plugging away.

Oh, another thing that seems pretty good with A6 is the built IP stuff that I haven't learn to use yet:).

Cheers
 
Automate enterprise - yes i got that - is very good, only bug bear is that it does not create exe's. Has a few more commands than wina to make up for that. If you only want to run your macros on 1 pc and don't want to monetize them then i would recommend automate over wina just for ease of use.
BTW hope this got a few peoples grey matter fizzing away - there is no end of things that can be automated. Mmmm, now then how about article submission, then software submission to shareware sites (linked to the articles) that would be a corker. Ah well, theres always tomorrow!:D
 
Thanks Johnny for claritying this. Well, then I see I still need WinA what I wonder is can I create the steps in A6 and then open the macro in WinA to create .exe for monitiztion?

Cheers
 
Autoit is probably better, and it's free anyway...I use it to creditfarm in MMO games.
 
So far I am loving the software.

The main thing I have learned is to slow down the keystrokes and provide some wait times depending on the website.

Lowers the amount of errors.

I might have to check out automate enterprise

I always put at least a second delay between 'on screen'commands, ie move mouse & click. And slow the keystrokes down when sending text.

I actually ran into a little situation where the forum post ended with something like f=3

Even when I slowed things down every now and then it would cause Mozilla to open the search box at the bottom and mess things up.

So in this situation I actually created an if else and checked to see if the correct window loaded. It it had not then I sent the mouse coordinates up to the URL bar and enter it that way.

Kind of a rare situation but I am just testing these loops over and over and every place it breaks I am trying to throw in some sort of redundancy like that.

I figure even if it slows the entire process down it will still be faster than what I am capable of and it allows me to take care of my kids and just make sure everything is running ever so often.

Do you have a recommendation on the milliseconds between keystrokes or is it site dependent.

Scratch that. I have increased my speed by at least 5 times but I just realized how much faster is possible.

I have been actually allowing the automation to enter the keyword text for to many things.

I just realized that I can be setting all these things into the clipboard then just pasting.

I actually had it opening up the text files grabbing all content and copying it. Guess live and learn. Just put file contents into variable. Put the variable into the clipboard and then paste.

Should cut down on errors plus greatly increase the speed of everything.

Really wish there was some more advance online tutorials but I guess struggling through it is a good way to learn also.

Dear OP:

Let's take this one step further and simple give us your .EXE file to run. Save us all the time and hassle.

:)

Be a pal.

Thanx for the clipboard info. i was loading the url from a text file , and most of the time when the url was being added it showed errors such as htttttp:///

I guess with the clipboard and pasting , there wont be such errors.

thanx

I get the odd clipboard error every now and then. Something like it can't read it or get content from clipboard, something like that. I have cleared it up by adding a slight wait time before certain events. Still have so much to learn about it.

For the most part when I use the clipboard method and just send keyboard control V with all the curly brackets I have gotten rid of all the typo errors. I was getting the occasional error before of sometimes dropping the first letter and things like that. Now that problem is completely fixed.

Now I have just been running loop after loop and when I catch a pattern of something breaking down I just add some wait events right before it or modify things.

Even with a couple frustrating bugs here and there it really is so much faster that me doing it manually. I used to do these posts that would take 5-6 minutes each with all the extras that I would add. With the kids interrupting me constantly I could only do so many in an hour.

Now I am doing about 12-13 in about 9 minutes. Plus I can take care of the kids during these little posting sprees.

Just love it.

Go for it! This is what I REALLY like to see! Action taken + Results = Profit!!

Are you using winautomation or what are you using?
 
I am using Winautomation.

I can't really compare to other programs. This is the first macro software I have used aside from the occasional task with Imacros for Firefox.

So far my experiences have been positive. I only wish the Winautomation website had tutorials showing loops in action and such. But just by doing it you can figure it out. Especially if you read the error messages and just fix them. :)
