MacroToolbar gives users complete Windows automation and error free repetitive tasks processing.

This edition has strong macro language with 170+ commands, application specific macros, variety macro triggers, ability to share macros in work groups, clipboard macros, smart macro recorder, macro password protection, etc.

Major Features:

1. Easy to use three-pane user  interface: Macros are organized to user defined groups (similar to folders in Windows Explorer) for simpler navigation and management.  Macro properties are showing in tabbed pane where can be easily modified.
2. Simple visual macro editing.  It is not necessary to know the macro language syntax.  Each command and its parameters is visually edited in its own edit window.
3. Fully featured macro editor with integrated debugger. Easily debug macros and watch variable values.
4. Smart macro recorder.  Macro recorder detect when a window where macro is being recorded is changed and automatically adds code for appropriate window activation.  Macro playback reliability is much improved.
5. Security - macro file is encrypted and thus it is not possible to view its content in other program or file viewer.
6. Password protection - macros can be password protected so that only authorized persons can view/run/modify them.
7. Sharing macros in work group.  It is possible to share macros over LAN network so that all employees have access to the same macros.
8. Application specific macros - the same macro trigger can start different macros in different applications.  This allows user to unify computer environment.
   • Tabbed toolbar supporting screen edge docking, auto-hiding, custom colors, automatic tab selection depending on currently active window.
     
   • Submenus - user can define any number of submenus.
     
   • Floating toolbars that appears when a particular application (window) is active.  The flying toolbars support auto-hide and can attach to the active window.

   • Find an image on screen - add "eyes" to your macros, no more "blind" clicks.  The command allows the macro writer to programmatically recognize objects (web images, controls, etc.) and click on them reliebaly.
   • Execute other programs, run shell context menu commands, run macros in external macro files.
   • Use variables to write more complex macros.  Variables can be multi dimensional arrays and can be easily persisted to a file.  Many variable manipulation operations are available (string operations, text operations, expression evaluation, etc.).
   • Rich macro flow controls - "if-else-end", conditional and unconditional loops, "go-to", procedures, "wait", etc.
   • Strong error handling - any command execution error is either immediately reported by an error message box or can be programmatically handled.  This is fully up to macro designer.

   • Manipulate registry - read and write data from/to registry, create new registry keys, delete registry data, etc.
   • Enumerate running processes, kill given process, determine whether particular process is running.
   • More commands - set default printer, shutdown computer, set system time, empty recycle bin, enable/disable screensaver,  and many others.
