StrokeIt
Netcaptor and StrokeItPosted by mhtawfiq
<HTML>hello,
first of all thanks for a great piece of software, very nice. now on to the problem, i use a browser shell called NetCaptor, which is basically a multi-tabbed IE shell with some extra features, http://www.netcaptor.com/ for some reason StrokeIt refuses to work with netcaptor, the window capture tool doesnt get a handle name from NetCaptor window and specifying the exe name doesnt seem to work. as i use Netcaptor for my regular browsing more often than plain IE, i wish if there was a way to make StrokeIt work with it? or is there is something i am missing? Thanks....</HTML>
<HTML>The window capture tool will ignore the class name if the program was created with a generic MFC or Delphi wizard (since the class is either randomly generated at runtime, or consistent among all applications created with that software and therefor ambiguous) In this case, the exe name *should* work.
What, exactly, are you trying to do? Have you successfully created or added new actions to existing applications? Does configuring something simple within netcaptor, like "maximize window", work?</HTML>
<HTML>thanks for the reply,
Yes i gotten StrokeIt to work perfectly with other applications and defined some application specific actions :) as i messed around more trying to get StrokeIt to work with Netcaptor, here is what i found, if i define a Global Action it will work fine in Netcaptor, But, if i define application specific actions for Netcaptor they wont work, even with the netcaptor exe name given to strokeit.</HTML>
<HTML>Netcaptor is the first program I got StrokeIt to work with...
Not quite sure if I did it "proper" but I clicked on Internet Explorer in the Command Editor and dragged the finder tool to the open Netcaptor window. Now Netcaptor.exe is the executable to Internet Explorer. No window class or whatever...don't know what that is. Works like a charm. Maybe now I can't use StrokeIt with IE? But who cares? Netcaptor works so much better I can't think of any reason I would ever open IE again anyhows.</HTML>
<HTML>WindowClass is the preferred method of identifying a window. It's the name that the program gives itself. If possible, you should use the windowclass instead of the executable.
And this doesn't mean that you CAN'T use the strokeit with IE, it just means that IE is no longer configured with strokeit. So you'd have to setup another application to get it going again. -Scott</HTML> |
