[power-pro] Re: Send key before alt raised


Thanks for your reply. I apologize for the delay in responding to
you, I've been a bit busy unexpectedly moving to a new laptop and
seem to have lost outbound email as part of the process.

It behaves differently on the two laptops. On the old one, if I have
a hotkey set to require Alt+F9 and don't release the Alt key promptly
after depressing F9, I get a gong sound (error beep) 1-2 seconds
after releasing F9. The hotkey is activated when I release the Alt
key. On the new laptop, I don't get a gong but the rest behaves the
same.

The Setup dialog has an option that says "Always wait for ctrl, alt".
The way it is worded makes me wonder if it's hinting that when the
check isn't selected, some commands are still going to wait for Alt
to be raised. (I have noticed that the *Message command is processed
right away while the *keys command is processed later).

The gong isn't a major problem, the delayed activation until the Alt
key is released is annoying. Can the hotkey be executed before then?

I've tried several times to disable completely this function and have been
unsuccessful thus far.

TweakUI has settings to change it's operation...but those don't seem to
disable the feature, just adjust it.

[power-pro] Run script from commandline


Hello,
I am new to the group and fairly new to Powerpro. I would like to know
how to run a script from the command line. I have a script to run a
program. The script is named Map.powerpro. I have tried:

"C:\program files\PowerPro\PowerPro.exe" script.runfile("C:\Program
Files\PowerPro\scripts\Map.powerpro")

That did not work. I would like to create a shortcut to the script in
Windows and run it instead of the normal link to the program. Is there
any way to do this? Thank you.

[power-pro] Counter Script


Me and a fellow powerpro'er here have been hashing out a counting script for
the group. We've got a couple items that we'd like some input on. Here's the
script:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;Start Script;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Define variables for all the items used with the script
Static sjcounter, sjcounterinit, counterText, sjcounterend, sjincreaseby,
sjmultiplier

;If statements to pre-fill the variables if this is the first 
;time that the script has been run
	If (sjcounter == "") Do
		sjcounter = 1
	Endif
	If (counterText == "") Do
		counterText = "Enter keys using the send Keys format{enter}"
	Endif
	If (sjcounterend == "") Do
		sjcounterend = 10
	Endif
	If (sjincreaseby == "") Do
		sjincreaseby = 1
	Endif
	If (sjmultiplier == "") Do
		sjmultiplier = "+"
	Endif

;Use an input dialog to ask for the values of the variables. 
;The If() statement is used to cancel the script if cancel is pressed

[power-pro] problems with Win.Keys to Firefox


Hi list,

I am having trouble with a script that used to work, until I decided to 
get rid of the global variable I was using as a shortcut for the pgm's 
captionlist & replace it with a static var within the script.  Now, when 
I run the script I get odd things happening.

The target program is Firefox, and the line that is causing all sorts of 
funny problems isn't actually even using the static var...??  (so that 
may be unrelated, which I'm hoping)

This is [a pared down version of] the problem line:

    Win.Keys("{to *Firefox}^l")

and what happens now when I call this is:

    - Firefox opens 2 extra windows with captions "NetscapeDispatchWnd" 
& "XPCom:EventReceiver"

    - TaskManager stops appearing when I call it via 
Window.Show("=taskmgr") with another script until I reset it's pos with 
Win.Center("=taskmgr") -- even tho window("left", "=taskmgr") & 
window("top", "=taskmgr") return the same values before & after 
re-centering it

    - MYOB (on a different VDesk) sometimes also opens a window "GDI+ 
Window"

I can't help with the first part of your problem Mike, but re the win 
plugin -- it is installed by default with PP so it's available for you 
already, and you'll find info about it in "your-ppro-folder\plugins\win.txt"

In there you'll find Win.Sendkeys & Win.Keys do the same thing, however 
there are other methods for sending keys:  Clip.TextPaste() is one... 
there may be others, I'm still learning.  :)

[power-pro] Hotkeys flakey


After a while of not using the program (program running, but idle)
hotkeys fail to work; all other aspects of the program continue to
work properly.

There is not apparent rhyme or reason for the failure.  To restore
proper function of the hotkeys, I have to run the config program and
press "OK".

Very strange problem - any ideas??? (I have 57 entries under
key/mouse)

Using XP home and no other hotkey programs running.

Also (possibly related??) I'm seeing another problem with Firefox in the 
last week:

If I am viewing email on one VDesk & click a link to load in FF, which 
is on another VDesk, FF moves itself to the current VDesk where I'm 
viewing the mail, and a new tab loads with the link there.

However - when I actually click on FF (on first VDesk), it jumps back to 
the 2nd VDesk again, dumping me there too.

??

This is actually kinda frustrating, as I generally read a bunch of mail 
at once, clicking links as I go, then go to FF to view everything 
afterwards.  At the moment I can't load multiple links without both me & 
FF jumping back & forth bwn the VDesks for each click.

Thanks again,

Forgot to include in the list of oddities when I run that script is if 
I've got the app. MySQL Command Center open, it also disappears much 
like Task Manager, and I need to call Win.Center on that to see it again 
too.

Thanks again again :)

PowerPro's command line is limited and some commands will not work when
executed from it. You can use ppbang instead, for example:
"C:\Program Files\PowerPro\PPbang.exe" .Map

ppbang is available at:
