Hi Stephen,

 

I would suggest you review the HostExplorer programming help and take a look at the WaitPSUpdated method.  Using the WaitPSUpdated method will allow the host and your script to properly synchronize.  Using the WaitIdle method is not very accurate.

 

The HostExplorer programming help, “heprog.chmR21;, by default in version 10 is in the following folder:

C:Program FilesHummingbirdConnectivity10.00HostExplorerSDKHelp

 

We also have a document called “Writing Applications to Automate Host Interactions” available on the Connectivity Support Knowledge base, here is a direct link to the document: http://connectivity.hummingbird.com/alt_content/binary/pdf/support/nc/WritingApplicationstoAutomateHostInteractions.pdf

 

Thanks in advance for your time.

 

Regards,

 

Yozana Grabois.

Subject: Version 10 screen scraping difficulty

 

 

I have been using version 6 of Host Explorer for years on several computers that run Host Explorer by automation using VB for screen scraping. I recently got a brand new computer with version 10 of Host Explorer loaded on it and now am having a great deal of difficulty with automation and screen scraping.  For example, the screens do not change when they are supposed to after receiving a RunCmd ("Enter") at the appropriate screen and time.  Even if I include a WaitIdle (2000) afterward, I do not get a screen change.  I never had this problem in version 6 and I didn't use the WaitIdle command.  Does anyone have knowledge about whats going on with version10?
