The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Problems with scrolldown

Post by Henrih » Thu Nov 26, 2009 1:50 pm

Playing my macro, I have to use scrollbar on the site, but only the certain number of clicks (movements down) is appropriate. Unfortunately, very often the scrolldown button is just getting sticked, though I use wait statements after every click. How can I avoid this critical problem? Thx a lot

Hello,

While playing the macro, please do not change the browser's state by clicking or scrolling.

If your macro contains DirectScreen commands, iMacros will arrest the mouse control (on the browser window) to avoid that the user (accidentally or not) change its position or state.

I am using the following command:
DS CMD=CLICK X=1122 Y=903 CONTENT=

The problem is that sometimes the macro scrolls down until the bottom of the window, sometimes it works properly. And the most interesting thing is that the macro works properly more often when the fullscreen application is running during its implementation (may be screen lags?) I wonder if there is another method, guaranteing more stable work?

Hello,

If you can, it would be better to use !TAGX and !TAGY as coordinates for the the DS command. Please, see this wiki section.
