PDF Display in a Dialog

We can currently display BMPs, PNGs and JPGs within the image object of a Macro Scheduler dialog. I would find it very helpful to also be able to view PDFs in that image object.

ChromeDriver vs EdgeDriver

Does anyone have any experience you can share regarding which of these has been more reliable for you? I hate automating web pages. The pages I've been tasked with automating in the past mostly belong to large customers. They have development teams who can't seem to leave well enough alone. I don't ...

Re: How to hide or remove Windows title bar

Perhaps SetParent would do what you want. See Marcus' example here . The sample uses Internet Explorer, you will want to use a different browser of your choice. The reason I think SetParent might help is that the browser window can be positioned in the dialog such that the upper portion of the brows...

Re: How to hide or remove Windows title bar

This technique changes the title of a window. Removing it would simply be make the title blank. After reading Grovkillen's response I'm not sure whether you want to rename a window, remove it from the taskbar or remove the titlebar from the window. If you want to remove the titlebar, things get a l...

Re: WaitScreenImage Not Working With ScreenShot

It's just a bit of text I agree with Grovkillen. You're dealing with an image, not a bit of text. There are things you can do with your original screen capture to increase your chances of success. First make sure you capture to a BMP file and not a JPG. JPGs are not an exact file. Second, Capture a...

Re: [reviewed as not possible] Position Ask and Input dialogs

Some quick thoughts. Have you ever tried Rain's LibFunc message builder for "Ask" message replacement? Don't have anything except Dialogs for "Input" replacement. Not ideal but here's a way to move modal messages. Would have to be altered to work for compiled. Also will fail as posted if you're work...

Re: Dialog (interaction) trigger Windows sound

When do dialogs make sound? I can force a sound by adding PlayWav> to a dialog handler event but otherwise my dialogs are already silent.

So not likely to surpass the capabilities of the built in Wizards any time soon?

Re: Cannot Show Dialog DIALOG1. Not Found

I'd guess you're dialog is stuck in memory and can't get out. Exit Macro Scheduler and restart it will probably resolve your issue.

Re: Setting Screen Resolution

I have a similar issue because I use an 8 port KVM. If the monitor is off or the KVM isn't pointing at a PC as it reboots (think automatic updates) I also drop back to 1990's resolution. Its really just an irritation, None of my scripts will fail, but if anyone has a solution I'd like to hear it.

Re: Scrollable menu/dialog

I can't help thinking I'm missing something. I'm trying to find a way of having a fixed size dialog with a scrollable "panel" which let me have a somewhat long list of options. The HTMLViewer allows for scrollable contents but it won't let me place anything inside that can act as buttons/boxes/lists...

Re: Windows Defender Hates My Executables

Thank you for your concern. I'm sure it could change in the blink of an eye but not currently having serious issues. There are some new rules I've discovered. For example, I used to have two scripts for each program. The work script and the "setup" script. I had everyone run the "setup" script. The ...
