Question from a newbie.
I am looking at using Robotask to automate a task that requires the launch of an application (with username & password) and then a number of keystrokes to complete the task. With my limited experience I can't work out whether Robotask can do that. Sorry if this is a simple question
Launch an application
Launch an application
I understand your task so: you need to enter username and password in launched application.
You can send necessary keystrokes to "Login" window. But you must make active the corresponding field in window before sending. Usually changing of active input field you can do with pressing the Tab key or combination Alt+<underlined_letter>. Try it manually and send necessary keys combination (or necessary quantity of pressing the Tab key) before sending username or password.
May be you need to insert pauses between (before) keystrokes. It depends of features of your application.
