WinAutomation Logo

Hello,

I created a script recently which I'd like to make a bit more flexible and robust.  The script automates interaction with another program, PageScrape, and currently makes use of wait for mouse, wait for window, focus window, & various mouse / keyboard commands.  In other words, it's almost all GUI.  How can I convert this to non-gui?  Is it even possible?

Thanks,

Greg

It's not possible at the moment (since there are no actions for automating third party applications in general, through their controls). However, if you do not want to loose the control of your machine, you can install WinAutomation in a VMWare machine. This way, your jobs will be assuming control of the virtual machine (it can be minimized) and you can work normally in your machine.

 

That's a good idea.  But, would that require another license for WinAutomation?

Hello GMarkham, As long as you are using WinAutomation on one machine, that is being controlled by the same user (so that you are still within the EULA terms and conditions: "The Software may be used only on a single computer by a single user at any time. You may transfer the machine-readable portion of the Software from one computer to another computer, provided that (a) the Software (including any portion or copy thereof) is erased from the first computer and (b) there is no possibility that the Software will be used on more than one computer at a time." .. you can use WinAutomation on as many virtual machines as you want. :) Samantha
