Re: C++ Script for USB scheduling

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Sorry, no tutorials, just the documentation that came with AutoIt and poking around in Windows.

Holy crap Bob I thanks heaps!!!
So the script to turn the root hub OFF is what youve got there, and the script to turn the root hub ON is what youve got there, except I replace Send("d") with Send("e") and remove Send("y") correct?

And ill experiment with the number of U's to hit the right hub. Wow thanks heaps for your time with that. I woulda been stuck lol. You dont know any tutorials that would help me along with that sorta stuff do you?
Thanks heaps!

I got bored, here is the script for whacking the USB. Replace the "Send("d")" with an "Send("e")" and remove the"Send("y")" to turn it back on. Paste the stuff between the "******" lines into notepad and save as a ".au3" file.

Autoit the program is not a GUI. the script is written in notepad and then compiled with autoit, to RUN the windows GUI. Its not a gui itself. If anyone knows the commands to do what my first post sed that would be great. Thanks

Have you considered following Bob's suggestion of using
AutoIt? It uses its own commands, not C++, which are
basically a bunch of keyboard & mouse commands.

It was "Bob I" who gave me the idea to schedule a usb start. He said use
autoit to design a script that would open the device manager, walk down


the


tree and then enable one of the USB Root Hubs, (so my ipod would start
charging when it was enabled). If i could write a script to enable the


root


hub, and disable the root hub, i could schedule this with the task 

scheduler


to start and stop when i wanted.

Unfortunatly i have no idea how to use C++ coding. Is the script to do wat 

i


want something hard or what? Could some body either point me in a 

direction


or write a script if its not hard?
Any help, alternatives, or advice much appriciated
Thanks heaps
Ice
