Newest Version of WinTask

WinTask Version 3.8

Released August 2011, WinTask 3.8

Firefox browser starting at version 5.0 is now supported with all WinTask Web functions except SavePictureAs and SaveTargetAs functions (version 4.x of Firefox is not supported). StartBrowser function launches IE or FF and all subsequent Web functions apply to the browser specified by StartBrowser. It is possible to change in the middle of a script the specified browser using the system variable #HTMLBrowser$. If no StartBrowser statement or #HTMLBrowser$ line are in the script, the default browser to use in Web functions is Internet Explorer (so the default value for #HTMLBrowser$ is "IE").

Capture Wizard does not support Firefox in this version. You can generate the Capture lines using Internet Explorer and replay them if needed in Firefox.

Internet Explorer 9 is now supported except for the Download dialogs which are automated at mouse coordinates level, see IE9 support help topic.

COM Object has been disgarded.

COM Port functions have been disgarded.

Two new functions are added:

EnabledHTMLElement, returns 1 if the specified HTML element is enabled, returns 0 if it is disabled (Not available in WinTask Lite)
PreviousPage() simulates a Go previous page in the browser window which has the focus. This action is not generated by Recording mode and you need to add the function manually in the script. Use this function too for simulating a Go previous page action whatever browser is used

The minor fixes/enhancements included in version 3.8 are listed below:

WriteHTML support CRLF keyword in the string to write
EnumXMLChildren was not working when 2 nodes were starting with the same letters
A task scheduled every month was crashing WinTask Scheduler in December (not available in WinTask Lite)
A new option in View menu has been added: Show full path in the title bar. When checked, the Editor window title shows the script name with its path
The list in the Language pane is now alphabetically sorted
When saving a script, the Save As dialog box has now an Encoding field under Windows 7 and you can save the script as 16-bit Unicode
SelectHTMLItem can now select an item with &nbsp character in front of it
TaskSync was sometimes crashing after repetitive executions of the same script
In IE, if Page Zoom level was not at 100 %, the clicks were replayed incorrectly
