Automatic-control-question

How can I create a program that controls my computer based on comma开发者_C百科nds which I have entered ahead of time.

For example:

My application should at 6pm enter facebook, enter my user credentials to log me in, and then leave a comment in the comment field which I have entered at 1PM.

Told means commend that I stored in this software.

My background is c++ and I realize programming philosophy since I program in machine language-I'm electrical engineer.

Thanks

Is this just for your own personal usage?

If so, I would advise not actually trying to develop an application yourself for this but instead use a Macro program. About 8 years ago when I was extremeley inexperienced at programming or doing anything, I used some macro programs to create bots in games, so doing something as trivial as logging you in would be simple.

Just have it..

• Launch C:/Program Files/Mozilla/Firefox.exe (or something similar)
• Press F6
• Type: "http://www.facebook.com"
• Press ENTER
• Check pixel at local XXX x YYY to see if you are already logged in, in which case you don't need to enter your username and password
• If you are not logged in, move mouse to coords XXX and left click.
• Type username
• Repeat for password.
• Press ENTER
• Navigate to profile.
• Check the time on your system. If time is not 1PM, wait one minute and try again.
• Repeat above.
• Time is now 1PM so post your message.
• End macro.

You could make that using a program like Macro Express within about 10 minutes. It also has a Capture editor, so that you can record your own macro and then edit it as you require.

This answer obviously assumes it is for personal usage.
