Why limit yourself with keyboard and mouse recording? Insert custom commands and statements into your macros: "launch website", "open file", "wait for window", "goto", "shutdown" and many more. Add logic to your macros using the "IF - THEN" statement, "REPEAT X TIMES" statement.
Convert your macro to an EXE-file that runs on any windows-compatible computer (feel free to redistribute). To save space and improve performance the resulting EXE file is packed and compressed using the advanced optimization techniques.
Macro Recorder can find images on a screen, detect when a window changes it's position etc. Macro Recorder comes with full windows-shell integration and scheduling. Macros can be edited with the built-in full-featured editor.
All recorded keystrokes and mouse activity can be saved to disk as a macro (script) for later use, bound to a hotkey, extended with custom commands or even compiled to an EXE file (a standalone Windows application). This macro recording program will save you a lot of time on repetitive tasks. You can use the Macro Recorder to automate ANY activity in ANY windows application, record on-screen tutorials.
This keyboard and mouse recorder can:
- record macros of your routine tasks
- or create macros from scratch using the macro editor and built-in commands like "open file", "shutdown", "launch website" and even for-loops and if-statements like in "big" programming languages.
Smart Recording (Default): The actions produced by this type of recording will click on elements such as windows, buttons and menu items based on UI selectors rather than absolute locations. UI selectors are very similar to the CSS Selectors utilized by Web Automation actions. This type of recording is the recommended one, since it produces flexible and portable Process.
If your mouse has a Macro Record button, you can record macros while you are running a program or playing a game. You can edit these macros later using the Macro Editor in the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center.
Perform the actions you want to record. The Macro Recorder will capture events such as keystrokes, mouse clicks, and delays between actions. It will not capture mouse movement or macros assigned to reassignable keys. The Macro Record button will blink while you are recording your macro.
If no keystrokes or mouse clicks are detected for 60 seconds, macro recording will stop. To record longer delays, edit the macro in the Macro Editor. See How do I create macros? for more information about macros.
When you record a macro, the macro recorder records all the steps in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code. These steps can include typing text or numbers, clicking cells or commands on the ribbon or on menus, formatting cells, rows, or columns, or even importing data from an external source, say, Microsoft Access. Visual Basic Application (VBA) is a subset of the powerful Visual Basic programming language, and is included with most Office applications. Although VBA gives you the ability to automate processes within and between Office applications, it is not necessary to know VBA code or computer programming if the Macro Recorder does what you want.
It is important to know that you when you record a macro, the Macro Recorder captures almost every move you make. So if you make a mistake in your sequence, for example, clicking a button that you did not intend to click, the Macro Recorder will record it. The resolution is to re-record the entire sequence, or modify the VBA code itself. This is why whenever you record something, it's best to record a process with which you're highly familiar. The more smoothly you record a sequence, the more efficiently the macro will run when you play it back.
When you record a macro for performing a set of tasks in a range in Excel, the macro will only run on the cells within the range. So if you added an extra row to the range, the macro will not run the process on the new row, but only the cells within the range.
It is not necessary that only tasks in Excel can be recorded in a macro. Your macro process can extend to other Office applications, and any other applications that support Visual Basic Application (VBA). For example, you can record a macro where you first update a table in Excel and then open Outlook to email the table to an email address.
To assign a keyboard shortcut to run the macro, in the Shortcut key box, type any letter (both uppercase or lowercase will work) that you want to use. It is best to use Ctrl + Shift (uppercase) key combinations, because the macro shortcut key will override any equivalent default Excel shortcut key while the workbook that contains the macro is open. For instance, if you use Ctrl+Z (Undo), you will lose the ability to Undo in that Excel instance.
Although the description field is optional, it is recommended you enter one. Also, try to enter a meaningful description with any information that may be useful to you or other users who will be running the macro. If you create a lot of macros, the description can help you quickly identify which macro does what, otherwise you might have to guess.
You can work with recorded code in the Visual Basic Editor (VBE) and add your own variables, control structures, and other code that the Macro Recorder cannot record. Since the macro recorder captures almost every step you take while recording, you can also clean up any unnecessary recorded code that serves no purpose in the macro. Reviewing your recorded code is a great way to learn or sharpen your VBA programming skills.
When you record a macro for performing a set of tasks in a range in Excel, the macro will only run on the cells within the range. So if you added an extra row to the range, the macro will not run the process on the new row, but only the cells within the original range.
To assign a keyboard shortcut to run the macro, in the Shortcut key box, type any letter (both uppercase or lowercase will work) that you want to use. It is best to use key combinations that don't correspond to existing shortcut keys, as a macro shortcut key will override any equivalent default Excel shortcut key while the workbook that contains the macro is open.
Although the description field is optional, it is recommended you enter one. It's helpful to enter a meaningful description with any information that may be useful to you or other users who will be running the macro. If you create a lot of macros, the description can help you quickly identify which macro does what, otherwise you might have to guess.
