mikehunt114 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I was wondering if it's possible to have a script running in the background? Like so I could still use my mouse/keyboard to run other programs while the script is doing it's thing?

mikehunt114 Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 I would be using the mouse for sure, and some keyboard commands.

/dev/null Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I would be using the mouse for sure, and some keyboard commands.O.K. let's get into the details:1.) What is your script intended for?2.) What are you doing on the computer while the script runs in the "Background"?CheersKurt __________________________________________________________(l)user: Hey admin slave, how can I recover my deleted files?admin: No problem, there is a nice tool.

Uten Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Would you elaborate on that? Are you not able to use your keyboard/mouse while running your script? You could also take a look at the ProcessSetPriority function in the help (beta) file. Please keep your sig. small! Use the help file. Search the forum. Then ask unresolved questions :) Script plugin demo, Simple Trace udf, TrayMenuEx udf, IOChatter demo, freebasic multithreaded dll sample, PostMessage, Aspell, Code profiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehunt114 Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 The script is intended to be used for automating tasks in Internet Explorer, using the mouse and a few keyboard commands. I was wondering if I run the script, and then open other programs, or IE windows and do work on those.

Futhermore you can use the IE automation UDF (IE.au3 - see help file of the latest beta).CheersKurt __________________________________________________________(l)user: Hey admin slave, how can I recover my deleted files?admin: No problem, there is a nice tool.
