Please help me with the multi windows task

[josezzzcn]

I am now using Quick Macros to do the same operation in a series of windows. Wait for window XXX finish, the time XXX running is about 2 hours, then goes to the next window by minimizing current window. But it doesn't perform stable, sometimes works sometimes just does not execute "minimize". Where should I revise and is there any better solution for my tasks?

Many thanks for helping.
BTW, I would like to buy the software if it can help me in this tasks. I just trial it.

my code is like follows:


spe 500
int i
for i 0 10
....
wait 0 -WC "XXX"
#region Recorded 2/21/2016 2:16:00 PM
clo win("Optimization Report");err
clo win("Format Objects");err
min win()

ARRAY(int) a; win "XXX" "YYY" "ZZZ" 0 "" a ;;get handles of all XXX windows
spe 500

Thanks a lot, Gintaras.
But one issue is that since there are too many files' names, I cannot type them one by one, is there a way to get handles of all Windows which I opened (I will close all the other windows but them)?

[Gintaras]

can be
win "part of window name without file name" "YYY" "ZZZ" 0 "" a
or
win "" "YYY" "ZZZ" 0 "" a ;;no window name, just class and/or program

To get ALL windows, better use GetMainWindows a, because win ... would also get taskbar, desktop and maybe some other unwanted windows.

Macro for testing what window gets GetMainWindows or win:
Macro Macro2696

Code:

out
ARRAY(int) a
GetMainWindows a ;;this should get only windows that have taskbar button
;win "" "" "" 0 "" a ;;this would get several other windows too
int i
for i 0 a.len
,outw a[i]

It works well. Thank you, Gintaras.

Hi Gintaras,
This morning I found my code doesn't work proper. But before, when I did some small test, it worked well. May it because I use them on Virtual Machines?

The error is: cannot activate window.

I use the second way you show me:

ARRAY(int) a; win "" "ATL_MCMDIMainFrame" "" 0 "" a
spe 500
int i
for i 0 a.len
act a[i]
;;recorded macro
wait 0 -WC "Optimization Progress"
;;I delect the close command since no need to "minimize"

I attach my Recorded Macro as well. Thanks you.

When I keep the monitor of Virtual Machines opened, it can work. Should I always have to keep them on? Because my Recorded Macro is a series of mouse movements.

The problem is solved, thanks Gintaras.
