Can this be done, if so, how

[drrob1]

Hi. I get a sense that tcmd can do this, but I don't know how.

Problem: MagicJack displays a dialog box on the pc when there is an incoming call. It waits for a minute or so for the user to click yes, else the call goes to voicemail. I would like to automatically feed that dialog box a keystroke whenever it appears.

I was thinking something like waiting for a window w/ that title, and when found feed it "Y"

Can this be done in tcmd, and how?

Thx,
Rob

Email posting definitely is broken. Wish we could go back to the reliability of sparkware.

Start a new TCC instance with the following code:

do forever
do until iswindow "MagicJack"
delay 5
enddo
activate "MagicJack %+ keystack "y"
do while iswindow "MagicJack"
delay 1
enddo
enddo

Naturally, you need to change the window title; you may want to adjust the
delay durations. UNTESTED!

My response is submitted by email. We'll see how long it takes for it to
appear in my own inbox.

I would try something like:

do while not iswindow name
delay n
enddo
activate window
keystack

It took 3 min: I sent it at 17:21, and received it back at 17:24 (US EDT).
