Newbie embarrassed to ask but...

Post by rdy4trvl »

I can get Robo to open the program - window opens (for Ad-Aware) but can not figure out how to tell Robo to highlight and click on the "Start" button.  Actually I can use "tabs" to highlight the button and can program Robo to left click - but it doesn't seem to work together.  Ad-aware does not have any keyboard shortcuts that I'm aware of...which I think makes this more difficult.Any suggestions?

DanW posted this solution...at http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ ... replies=11# post-507I've gotten Ad-Aware to run and automatically start scanning. Here's how I did it.
1. Have it run Ad-Aware
2. Add a delay. It takes Ad-aware about 7 seconds to start up (for me) so I had mine delay about that long.
3. Have it press Tab five times, and space once. ( {TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB} ) Make sure you get the space at the end.
4. Add another delay to let it load the scanning window. I have it delayed for one second
5. Have it press space once.
Once this is done, everything should work out. Here's a screenshot of the script.

Also (and better) you can select the task and press Ctrl-C to take the task into clipboard. Next, you can paste the text of task into any text editor.
