Robotask Videos

affmanager · Post by **affmanager** » Sun Oct 19, 2008 11:27 am

Are there any videos that offer a better understanding of Robotask? I have a few website tasks set up, but I'm having no success figuring out how to use variables of any kind. For example, how to use the Window command to minimize Robotask so that I can actually pull up a web page for the purposes of moving the cursor to an absolute coordinate. ANY help appreciated. The pdf document is just WAY too cryptic and assumes too much understanding by the user of the terminology.

See flash demo please here

Oleg,Thank you. I have reviewed that flash demo a few times. But it does not begin to go into enough detail and does not begin to demonstrate how to use the
Window command to minimize Robotask so that I can actually pull up a
web page for the purposes of moving the cursor to an absolute
coordinate.Are there any other demos? Is there anything other than the pdf support document?Thank you.

Oleg,Actually, my immediate problem is that I cannot minimize the Robotask window. When I go to edit a task inside a job, the window maximizes and I cannot perform the "Move" task where you use your mouse to drag to a location using absolute coordinates.This did not use to happen. However, in upgrading to 3.2 and the patch, I can no longer figure out how to KEEP the Robotask window from taking up the entire screen.

There is "Minimize RoboTask" action. See the group "RoboTask commands".
Just put this action into beginning of the task.

Oleg, makes perfect sense, but it doesn't work for me. The window immediately consumes the screen and will not let me bring other windows into the foreground.

Oh, excuse me. I've understood you incorrectly....
Maybe it's necessary to hide RoboTask (like "Move To Object" action) while dragging the cursor.

I wrote this into our ToDo list

There is no function to "Hide Robotask". Are you saying that it is not yet supported? If so, how does one "move to an object" while dragging the cursor?I did not have this issue before upgrading to 3.2. I could easily "move" or "move to object", but now that function is inaccessible.

I have a support ticket in to inquire about this issue, but no response. Am I to assume that the Robotask window cannot be minimized when attempting to edit a task? Is this a known bug that is planned to be fixed? I really need some direction here.Thank you.

This is not a bug.
Editor of "Move" action haven't "hide" function in all versions of this plugin.
We'll make necessary corrections and release new path soon.
