display a text in a box without any butto

I use the question dialog.  But I don't ask a question, I put in the notice.  Then I set the auto-button-press feature for as long as I want the message to be displayed.
I guess you could put this into a loop to continually update you.

Login Widows from Hibernate

Maybe leave the computer unlocked but remove the keyboard and mouse overnight?  RoboTask can still run but no one could affect change to the computer unless they went to a lot of trouble to figure it out and find a keyboard and/or mouse to attach.

Concurrent Task Limit

Thanks. I have many file monitor tasks set up, pointing at files that change often.  They change when my computer is off at night, etc.  When RoboTask starts, regardless of the interval setting, they all fire at once because each detects a change in the file at first glance.  I was seeing RoboTask l...

Concurrent Task Limit

...also wondering if there is a limit to the number of BASIC tasks running at the same time.  Are there some common resources in the BASIC plugin that would come into contention if many BASIC scripts were started over the same period of time?

Process Loop

Would be nice...
Process Loop.  Just like Window Loop but would provide the name & handle of each running process.
This can be done from BASIC but it would avoid the BASIC overhead if done on an interval.

Concurrent Task Limit

Sorry if this has been asked before...
Is there a limit to the number of tasks that can be running at the same time?  I know each is in it's own thread, but is there a limit, maybe even imposed by Windows?
Thanks!

System Variable Idle Seconds

Does that mean, if you were to add the feature, I won't be able to use RoboTask with Windows 98?  Oh no!

Basic Functions & Procedures as Actions

It would be cool to have two new actions: one to call a Windows function (return a value) and one to make a Windows call to a procudure.  This is like the Declare Function in the Basic plug-in.  It would be a way to make custom system variables. For example, you could get the handle to the foremost ...
