Hi Bob,

Thanks very much! That's exactly what I needed. I missed it in the docs.

Hi again, When using input> to get user input entered into a text field in a modal dialog, the password is automatically obscured with "***"s. Is it possible to get this same effect when using a regular dialog box instead? I've tried setting INPUT_PASSWORD to 1 before calling Show> on the dialog def...

Whoops, never mind, I see it's very simple. Sorry, I should've checked it out myself first.

Hello again! Can anyone tell me if it's possible to resize the dialog box that comes up when "input>" is used? Ideally I want to make it full screen to cover up anything else that might happen to be there. (This is for a kiosk app.) Failing a resize option, can I embed a very large image in there so...

Well, I figured it out. I only had a 16x16 and a 48x48, and no 32x32. Adding that fixed it!

Forgot to mention that I have a 16x16 icon in the .ico as well as a 48x48. It seems to blow up the small one instead of using the big one when the compiled script is on the desktop.

Hi Rain,

Thanks! That did the trick but now I have the same blurry image you were talking about in your thread. How did you fix that?

Thanks again,
Utz

Hi, I compiled a macro using the favicon.ico file from a website, no problem. I had another larger .ico file made and MS doesn't like it, says it can't find a 16x16 icon found in the .ico file I specified. Is that the maximum size of the icon, 16x16? It looks bad at full size on the desktop and I'd ...

Wow, that's perfect. Thank you so much!

Hello again, I'm running MS 11.1.08a and I have a question that I can't find documented anywhere. Sorry if this is a repeated question. Is it possible for a compiled macro to get its own filename without knowing its location? Let's say I have an .exe compiled from MS named "hello.exe". Can the file,...

Wow, that's perfect! I'm always amazed at your speed and that you always seem to have thought of the answer ahead of time. Amazing service and product, thanks again!

Hi there everyone, I'm setting up a kiosk using the Opera browser. I've written a one-line MS script that launches it with the correct parameters (which allows me to run it in full-screen "kiosk mode"). Insofar as possible, I want to prevent a user from simply closing Opera with alt-F4 -- most of th...

I found a VBscript solution here:

http://vb-helper.com/howto_randomize_list.html

As the author says, "For each item, the algorithm randomly selects an item at that position or later in the array and swaps the two. This produces a randomized list."

So there you go.

Thanks,

Hello everyone, I hate to reinvent the wheel. Does anyone happen to have a list-randomization function you'd be willing to share? I'd like to pass it a CRLF-delimited text file and get another file back with the same lines but in a random order. I could use an array-randomization function instead of...

Hi Marcus,

Thank you; this worked. I forgot about readln being able to do that.

Much appreciated!
