1. I'm glad it works as designed

2. I don't have the right to remove a safety warning from someone else's product, though

That should not happen if you use the .exe I created. However, it is very likely you will get that error when you create your own .au3 or .exe from my code because that function is not yet supported by the newest version of AutoIt. Download AutoIt Beta.

My bad, I meant to say activate "I agree" button on the warning window. I figured it out, thanks

Thanks

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
Run("Streets.exe", "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Streets & Trips")

WinWait("Microsoft Streets & Trips","")
Sleep(5000)
if Not ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","","Button39","IsChecked","") Then
ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","","Button39","Check","")
EndIf
Sleep(3000)
if Not ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","","Button41","IsChecked","") Then
ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","","Button41","Check","")
EndIf
Sleep(1000)
if Not ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","","Button44","IsChecked","") Then
ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","","Button44","Check","")
EndIf

and thats it.. good luck

i have tried this in rr config to start this exe but it will not work. it works fine outside of rr. what am i doing wrong.

I've been working on getting S&T 2006 working and this was just the ticket! I don't really need anything except GPS location and moving map in the full window. If I need directions or a location, I'll pull over and get out the mouse and keyboard and manipulate the program.

Here's the AutoIT3 code I'm using with the RoadRunner MediaCar skin:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
if Not ProcessExists("Streets.exe") Then
Run("Streets.exe", "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Streets & Trips")
Else
WinActivate("Microsoft Streets & Trips")
EndIf
WinWait("Microsoft Streets & Trips","")
Sleep(2000)
Send("^a")
Sleep(1000)
if Not ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","","Button39","IsChecked","") Then
ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","Configure GPS...","Button39","Check","")
EndIf
Sleep(7000)
if Not ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","","Button41","IsChecked","") Then
ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","","Button41","Check","")
EndIf
Sleep(3000)
if Not ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","","Button42","IsChecked","") Then
ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","","Button42","Check","")
EndIf
Sleep(1000)
ControlCommand("Microsoft Streets & Trips","","Button8","Check","")
WinClose("GPS Sensor")

/END CODE

This checks to see if S&T is running and opens up it if it isn't. If it is already running, it moves it on top. It then opens the GPS tracking window, checks the boxes (with time delays to allow the GPS to initiate and sync), closes the GPS tab and the GPS Sensor window. It works REALLY well and allows the GPS to run in the background so it comes up instantly once loaded.

Here's a zip of the compiled .exe

Well I could not get any of the mappoint code in this thread to work, So I coded my own simple script which works great. Just click on it, it starts mappoint 06, launches GPS task pane, checks: track, center, rotate, then closes the GPS pane and leaves only the map, tracking your location. Enjoy!

Code:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
Run("C:\Program Files\Microsoft MapPoint\MapPoint.exe")


WinWaitActive("Map - Microsoft MapPoint North America","")
Sleep(300)
Send("^a")
ControlCommand("Map - Microsoft MapPoint North America","","Button39","Check","")
Sleep(5000)
ControlCommand("Map - Microsoft MapPoint North America","","Button41","Check","")
Sleep(500)
ControlCommand("Map - Microsoft MapPoint North America","","Button44","Check","")
Sleep(300)
ControlCommand("Map - Microsoft MapPoint North America","","Button8","Check","")

And here is the EXE compiled

Nicely done!

This actually should no longer be an issue in the upcoming Microsoft Streets & Trips 2009, which is expected to be in stores in a few weeks (September 2008).

The above picture shows a new option that I now see in Microsoft MapPoint 2009. The same we should see in S&T 2009.
