If you only want the event to run when your browser is active, and
supposing the exename of your browser is iexplore, then change the
scheduled event command entry controls as follows
enter command: if (anywindow("=iexplore"))
More commands
"c:/run/your/history_eraser.exe"
This says to run the history eraser only if the there is an active
window on your system from the iexplore program.
YOu can also do this with a button for manual control by using a global
variable which is set by the button and checked by the command.
1. Best practice is to declare the variable in a scheduled event set
to run at PowerPro startup. Create a new schedule event, type startup
enter command: global g_doErase = 1
2. Change the scheduled event you are now running every 10 minutes
command name: if (g_doErase)
More commands
"c:/run/your/history_eraser.exe"
3. Add the button command (or use a hot key etc):
enter command: g_doErase = not g_doErase
If you like, set the item label of the button to display status:
*info expr(if(g_doErase,"on", "off"))
Do this label setting last after everything is working as if you make a
typing error you will get lots of error messages.
