Start Script with StartButton OR if run by TaskScheduler?


 Share

Recommended Posts

I have a script that has a GUI and I have been running with a start button using the below code:

        Case $StartButton

 

I would also like to try scheduling this using Windows TaskScheduler to run every morning at 8 AM EST. What would be the best way to add a condition to either start with the start button OR when TaskScheduler runs at 8 AM EST (or any specific time)? I am hesitant to just do 8 AM condition as it may increase processing a lot always looking at the time.

 

Essentially what I am looking to have happen is for my computer to auto-unlock (login?) using task scheduler and run this script

So would the Run Line in Task Manager be something along the lines of:

"C:\Program Files\Documents\MYFILE.EXE " & "/parm1=Value"

and then in my code 

 Case $StartButton OR $CmdLine[0]= "parm1"

 

The documentation is quite confusing for this and I am not really understanding

You need to use $CmdLine[0] and $CmdLine[1].  See here.

You probably need to start it once.  So insert the statement before the GUI loop, something like :

....

If $CmdLine[0] and $CmdLine[1] = "Start" then StartFunction()

GuiSetState()
While True
...
WEnd

Making a runable script would greatly help us to help you.  For the next topic please provide an example script so we can adapt it more easily...

I just updated my last posts code - can you tell me if that is now correct?

No it is not correct.

Please provide a runable script with basic statements so we can help you.  I will not repeat this request another time.

FilePath is:  C:\Users\robert\OneDrive\Desktop\TempFile.exe

Block of relevant code is below:

 

While 1
    
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

        Case $Save
            SaveOptions()

        Case $StartButton
            ;TAB1 of GUI
            
            
If WinExists("[CLASS:QT373947473845]") Then
$oBlah = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:QT373947473845]")
$BSLoc = WinGetPos ("[CLASS:QT373947473845]")

If $BSLoc[0] <> 0 or $BSLoc[1] <> 0 or $BSLoc[2] <> 800 or $BSLoc[3] <> 600 Then
WinSetState ( $oBlah, "", @SW_MINIMIZE )
sleep(500)
WinActivate($oBlah)
WinWaitActive($oBlah)
WinMove($oBlah, "", 0, 0, 800, 600)
sleep(2000)
Else
WinActivate($oBlah)
WinWaitActive($oBlah)
sleep(2000)
EndIf
Endif   
            
    EndSwitch
WEnd

 

The Case $StartButton is the line where I am trying to do an OR if run by TaskManager
