Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to redefine the hotkey to Alt-Ctrl-Q, which has no other function in OE. Also, I did try to set the key delay to 5, just to see if this would have any impact. But, sorry to say, all I get still, is a ding and the word 'DASH' spoken. Wherever that dash thing comes in :)
Anyone else has an idea of what I might have overlooked? All I want the script to do, is take the mouse to the toolbar, and do a LefMouse click on it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Alfaro To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 09, 2010 11:45 PM Subject: RE: Hotspot question -can't get it to work - what am I doing wrong Hmmm, this sounds right so not sure. I would suggest the following however. Isn't control s a key that is used by Outlook Express for something else? I'm not saying that is the problem, but try changing the hotkey to something else not being used by the application. --Regards, --Rick alfaro [email protected] From: David [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 09, 2010 5:35 PM To: Scripting List WE Subject: Hotspot question -can't get it to work - what am I doing wrong There recently has been a lot of nice things told about the capability of the HotSpot script. So, I decided to download, and give it a try. I am running the SpamFighter software, which ties in with Outlok Express, placing a menu bar at top of the OE screen. The only way for me to access this menu (or toolbar), is by use of the mouse. So I found, this would be the perfect chance of testing the HotSpot script. Here is what I did: First, I placed the mouse on the actual choice on the SpamFighter toolbar, by using the mousekeys in WE. Normally, now I would have pressed the LeftMouse to open the scroll down submenu, and from there used the up/down-arrows. Next, I pressed the HotSpot hotkey of Ctrl-Alt-P, and the HotSpot definition dialog opened. I filled in the different fields, Named it SpamFighter, gave it the hotkey of Ctrl-S, associated it with Outlook Express, and had it choose Current position, which I took, would be the position of the mouse when entering the HotSpot definition. Also, when asked for an action, I did tell it to press a key, and when requested, I pressed the Numpad-Slash (that is, the LeftMouse key, that I usually would have pressed). (My system has no physical mouse, since I never bothered, being only me who use the computer anyway.) Then I saved the whole thing, and was ready to try it out. Well, Now, when in Outlook Express, pressing Ctrl-S - the hotkey I set in HotSpot - all WE does, is to ding on me, and the speech says 'DASH'. What am I doing wrong?
