I created a macro that part of it clicks on a button on a web page to send a message like the new topic button on the top of the forum.
The problem I'm having is that if I run the macro the mouse will move to position and I can see the pointer change to the hand and click, but it doesn't bring up the message window.
If I click thru the marco in debug mode it works fine.
I'm just starting with macros and don't have a lot of experience with them.
What could be the problem as to why it's not working?
The only thing I can think of is that you might need to break it up into two actions, with a pause in between? One action can move the mouse but not click. Then add a pause for a fraction of a second or so, then add an action to click at the current mouse position?
Just a guess. I would think there’s a better way, but I don’t know what it would be.
It is working pretty much the way I want it to right now with the exception of the paste command at the end.
What I want it to do is to click on the message icon in the blog and then click on the plus sign for a new message.
Then switch over to copy a name from a LibreOffice spreadsheet.
Switch back to Chrome to paste the name in the entry box for the name of the person I want to send the message to and hit enter to accept them.
Then it will switch to Notes and copy the message from there, switch back to Chrome and paste into the message section of the screen.
This is where it is messing up because it is pasting it back into the field for the recipient and not the message section.
I'm going to try to create a video of the way it should work and the way it is working.
1.) I’m not clear on this:
Is your macro functioning correctly now?
Or are you still looking for debugging help?
If still looking, I have a suggestion that might work.
That is a good suggestion, Mark.
I will keep that in mind for future Macros, but what I have is working fine now for clicking on the image, but the problem that I’m having now is that it is not pasting the copied text in the right place at the end of the Macro.
Take a look at the 2 videos above to see what I’m talking about.
