Auto typing macro not executed in current tab page
Hi,
Here's the case. I want to execute an auto typing macro on a webpage in which NO element gets the focus by default. I start the typing macro with {TAB} to give the focus to the first element on that page.
When I launch the webpage the auto typing macro fires but the TAB is sent to the buttons in the toolbar of the tab in RDM (the refresh button gets the focus).
When I manually launch the macro by hitting the Execute button the behaviour is the same. When I hit "Execute in current tab page" the right element of the page gets the focus. Is there a way to execute the macro in the current tab page by default?
Regards,
Jasper

Hello,
The macro will be executed where the focus is. We suggest to put the cursor in the appropriate field so that the macro can start properly and be executed like it suppose.

Hi,
I will add a option in the macro to select the tab content.

Hi Jeff,
All automation is lost when we need to click in the window first. You probably will understand that I'll go for the solution David suggested by adding new functionality to a newer version of RDM.

Hello Jasper,
In the typing macros only, the "execute in previous window" checkbox will be replaced by a combo box with multiple choices: default, execute in previous window and execute against selected connection. The last one will be what should fix your issue, as it will make sure to focus the selected connection before running the macro.
This will be available in the next beta. If you have any feedback after you can test it out, it's appreciated :)

Hello Jasper,
Unfortunately beta 13.0.15.0 isn't out yet so the option isn't there. I'm hoping we can publish it early this week. We'll keep you updated.
