Keyboard Macro Recorder?

[lester50]

We are trying to automate some testing and looking for a keyboard macro recorder like the one which used to be provided with Win 3.1 (to record keystrokes and mouse actions).

Does anyone know if a 32 bit version exists anywhere in WinNT/Win2K or Visual Studio?

Thanks jlester@lester.com

I don't know the one on Win 3.1 (I'm pretty new to this computer lark to tell the truth) but I did come across something that might be of use to you,

There's a company called MJTNET who had a piece of software out last year called Macro Scheduler.

I got a demo version of it and used it to run a series of tests on a billing software package I was working on over a week-end. It recorded all keystrokes and mouse moves perfectly and when I came in on Monday found that only for a network failure, the Macro Scheduler would have done the job. The OS was Win95 but the Macros were running programs in designed in VB, Oracle forms, and even running a DOS window!

Their website is

Hope this helps.

This is a simple program to write if you don't mind some brief C++ code . . . simply use the SetWindowsHookEx API using the WH_JOURNALRECORD constant to record the keysrokes and then use the WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK to replay the macro. Also, the reason that these programs work in "DOS" is because when accessing DOS from Windows, you are running Window's emulation of DOS. - Jeff Marler B-)
