Click to win - a quicker way

The vital parts of the script are enclosed between the two ; ; ; ; ; and should be copied into the ahk text file. You can add your own macros to the same script without any interference (unless you try to assign the same keyboard shortcuts for two different macros). I have hundreds of macros in my ahk text file :money:!

You don't need to close any tabs before running the macro. Just open up a new browser window and open up the C2W pages as described in my previous post.

This macro isn't sophisticated enough to close the pages once it's submitted the entries. I had to write two separate macros just to close the tabs; the C2W sites behave in one of two ways when you click the "Enter..." button, hence, the two tab-closing macros.

Thanks for clarifying :T:T I have much to learn!

So, once it's run through all the tabs I presume it comes to a stop and then I simply close down the browser window?

I'll have to 'read up' on macro-writing then :rotfl:

Cheers for the help, SpaceyKevin :money:

I had to limit the loop to 50 as it wouldn't stop and my laptop went a bit bonkers. It is very handy for the bigger publications but I am sticking to the old fashioned way for the smaller ones. Still greatly apprecaited though

SpaceyKevin How do i limit the loop please, i would like it to about 50 too?

Thank you

Not sure what I am doing wrong but it goes from tab to tab but does not seem to enter any

Will have to have another go tomorrow

I've given it a go - but unfortunately it doesn't enter most of them because as it goes from tab to tab the 'entry' box moves up and down the page rather than being in one spot. I can see it working better with the radio station ones though, as their entry boxes always seem to be in exactly the same place from one site to the next :cool:

^!r::Reload ; Reloads the Autohotkey script

!c:: ; Alt + C activates the macro
loop, 50 ; Loop begins
{
click ; Sends a mouse click
send ^{tab} ; Moves onto the next tab
sleep 1500 ; Waits 1.5 seconds
ifwinactive, New Tab ; Checks if the "New Tab" tab is currently active
break ; Stops the loop if the "New Tab" tab is active
}
return
; ; ; ; ;

The loop should now only run 50 times at most.

I don't think that would be necessary. You can enter one of the C2W comps manually and the email address box should be filled when you open a new competition page (of the same site).

Ok, Thank you SpaceyKevin

Just one more question please SpaceyKevin
