hi all,

windows 3.1 had a cool feature allowing you to record key strokes as macros
and run then when needed.

at the moment there are some stuff that i really do regularly and therefore
need a macro freeware to record these tasks activies and operate them when
needed.

thanks

PowerPro will let you do that. It will even let you choose whether you run
your macro from a toolbar, a list, a keyboard shortcut....and let you
decide whether your macro will always be active or only when certain
programs have the focus.

(The more I play with PowerPro, the more enthusiastic I get about it!)

IIRC, I don't think powerpro has a "record" feature. You can enter the
keystrokes you want it to play back, but there is no way to easily
record a sequence of keys as you perform a set of steps.

I used the wfw3.11 recorder myself on win98 and remember people telling
about successfully running it on WinXP. Don't know what helps or hinders
it when running on newer versions of Win. But if you have your old Win3.1
disks handy you can just give it a try... Copy (or expand) recorder.exe /
recorder.dll and maybe recorder.hlp to a dir of your choice and fire it
up. Be sure to have all data saved on disk before you do. (Just in case
it locks up your system.)

I wrote the scriptwriter. You may want the AU3ScriptWriter...

Why are there are two different, but very similar, recorders for AutoIt v3?

I wrote the initial program (larrydalooza), anything else I can't
account for. The other one(s) may be better or worse. I can only
account for my own work. The source is in the zip file, so I imagine
it will be recreated by others.

As far as I can see they are both so similar, it's just a matter of taste.

Thank you for the macro recorder. It works very nicely, especially for such
a small application.

The RTF editor Textshield Fusion has a simple macro recorder bar, and it
records for playback system wide actions. Of course, then you'd have to
leave Fusion open to run any of the macros. But if you were to take to
it as editor you regularly want running anyway, then it might be something
to consider. The attraction would be if you wanted something very easy
and direct for macro recording and playback. It's not much more than
clicking its pretty start and stop buttons. And it features letting you
customize playback speed, up to 100x of original record speed.

The old homepage, textshield.com...it's gone. So for anyone who might
be curious to give this RTF editor a spin, I am not sure offhand the best
download location. One would have to ask Google. The version that I've got
installed, I think its the latest (last?) one. The exe's date is 2002 July.
The version is called build 644. Author given as Onus.
