How can I slow down the script playback speed?

How can I slow down the palyback speed of a script so people can actually see the sequence on the screen.

I used screen capture SW that generated a movie of the sequence, but if I can slow down AutoIt I can

have a solution that is both functional and can be used for demonstration.

I am looking for a global solution and not adding sleep() command after each line :-)

Thanks for your help

If you are using a function to update your pics, then maybe one sleep command in that function could be enough.

I was probably misunderstood. I used the screen capture SW before using AutoIt. Now I want to avoid using

the screen capture SW and use ONLY AutoIt. I wrote a script that run a scenario of an application and I want

to show it to other people in a speed that they can follow, and when the script ends they can continue using

the application from that point.

Sorry, and what should Autoit do for you? Run slower? What about using CamStudio and creating a little movie about how your script performs?

I am looking at a SW verification/development environment where the verification team can send bug reports to the development team using AutoIt scrpits. If the playback speed can be controlled, than the script can replace a movie and also be functional, whereas the movie is not functional (so it doesn't really reproduce the bug)

This is not an unusual feature for macro recorders, most ones that I looked at have this feature like WorkspaceMacro or WinAutomation and also WindowTester

It is fairly simple to write a script that will add sleep(1000) after each functional line, but I think it should be a parameter defined with an Opt() command.

Just as an example, WindowTester has three playback parameters:

- Delay between keystrokes

- Delay after widget clicks (this is like control click in AutoIt)

- Delay between mouse move increments

Ah I see, I guess there is no option to get what you want, but maybe this is another (not very nice) but a way to get a bit close to it.

AdlibRegister('_slowDown', 1000)

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func _yourscript()
    For $i = 0 To 5
        ConsoleWrite($i & ' ' & @SEC & ':' & @MSEC & @CRLF)
    Next
EndFunc ;==>_yourscript

Func _slowDown()
    _yourscript()
EndFunc ;==>_slowDown

Mega

P.S.: This only works for the whole script and not single commands with additional sleeps.

Just as an example, WindowTester has three playback parameters:

- Delay between keystrokes

- Delay after widget clicks (this is like control click in AutoIt)

- Delay between mouse move increments

You have

MouseClickDelay Alters the length of the brief pause in between mouse clicks.

Time in milliseconds to pause (default=10). MouseClickDownDelay Alters the length a click is held down before release.

Time in milliseconds to pause (default=10). MouseClickDragDelay Alters the length of the brief pause at the start and end of a mouse drag operation.

Time in milliseconds to pause (default=250).

SendKeyDelay <a name="SendKeyDelay">Alters the the length of the brief pause in between sent keystrokes. A value of 0 removes the delay completely.

Time in milliseconds to pause (default=5). SendKeyDownDelay Alters the length of time a key is held down before being released during a keystroke. For applications that take a while to register keypresses (and many games) you may need to raise this value from the default. A value of 0 removes the delay completely.

Time in milliseconds to pause (default=5).
