Except for very simple applications, RoboScripter probably will not be able to write the exact script you need. However it can get close and do much of the heavy lifting required to successfully use Control Manager based scripts.
In using RoboScripter to write various scripts, a few points have been noticed, and by relating them to you, perhaps we can save you the time required to discover them yourself.
a) Some applications need a DirChange to a desired "working" or "Start In" directory before being run. In this case add
DirChange("C:\some\desired\directory")
before the RUN statement in your script.
b) RoboScripter is unable to record the click on a top-level menu item and a subsequent click on a drop down menu item. To select a menu item from an application, drag the crosshairs to the application title bar, then select the SendKey option to send the menu hot-key characters to the application instead.
c) In addition you may encounter strange Window or control types that confuse RoboScripter. In this case a good workaround is to drag the cross-hairs to the control and select the cSetFocus option, which will activate the control. Later you can edit the script to add special code there, SendKeys perhaps, to deal with the control.
d) The full power of the Control Manager extender is not currently supported by RoboScripter. Make sure to check out of the available functions in this help file.
