hi everyone,
in a past post, oleg said it is possible to use the command line to execute a task, you simply need to use the name of the task in hex or decimal.
my question is, how do i know the name of the task in hex or decimal?
thanks

It is not documented. When you do "Create shortcut on desktop", RoboTask forms the command line automatically.

hi oleg,
ok, so a create a shortcut from RT. then a look a the name in the properties of the shortvut and i take the name in hex. it's a complicated process, but i will have to deal with it. so thanks for your answer.

Ok, we'll add menu item for generating of command line for selected task in next release.
