Control mouse and keyboard? Search screen for specific color
Anyone have any suggestions for the commands to control the mouse and keyboard?
Also wondering if there is a way to search the screen and use something like an "eyedropper" to check the color

Re: Connect to MySQL works on Mac standalone and not on PC
I had a friend with a mac download this and the application doesn't work on macs either. Apparently the application is only connecting or attempting to connect on the computer it was made on.

Re: Connect to MySQL works on Mac standalone and not on PC
Ok windows firewall seems like it could be the problem. As a side note current version isn't signed as a verified publisher and Windows firewall prevented one of my friends from downloading it (didn't even give him an option). Can I please ask what you mean by check DB connection parameters?

Re: Database query help PLEASE
I replaced the content I am actually trying to use with a gibberish paragraph, which was more characters. It works with a standard paragraph so I imagine its something to do with all the ^ signs or ^false^ because thats where it cuts out.
