MacroRecorder

Version 2.1
2010-08-09

Overview:

It is possible that one key stroke substitute to a series of keys strokes. MacroRecorder is just for it.

MacroRecorder records any key stroke process, but not screen touchs, on Windows Mobile device easily. A recorded operating process is saved as a macro file. A shortcut is created automatically in Start Menu. So, it is re-run only by choosing a Start Menu item. If the menu item is assigned with a speed dial key, then only pressing once a key to re-run the operating process. Further more, the macro file can be opened automatically at a specified time by AutoFlight program or other schedule tools.

User's manual:

   8. After popping up Save as screen, types a name for the recorded macro in The macro save as box and selects an icon for the shortcut of the macro file in Select an icon list box.
      Note: If there is no Save as screen popped up and the status sign is still red but not white, then it means that there is a problem of compatibility between MacroRecorder and another software program. Please to stop this program temporarily, and then beginning to record again. I knew that the AutoLock function of AutoFlight v4.3.1 and previous version is not compatible with MacroRecorder. AutoFlight v5.0 and later version have overcome this problem.
