Excellent! I hadn't known about the Assigned function. It is perfect for checking the existence of a variable assigned by the command line or otherwise. Thank you!

When a compiled macro runs, sometimes it needs to check to see if a Command Line Parameter is present. Here is some code that illustrates how to check for a command line parameter: // COMPILE_OPTS|c:\programs\test.exe||CONSOLE=0|INCLUDES=1||RUNTIMES=1|BMPS=1 // Test for presence of a command line pa...

The shortcut key combination, Ctrl-Shift-+ (Control Shift Plus) brings up a menu. Press C and Press Enter to insert a column. So the MacroScheduler code would look something like: Press Ctrl Press Shift // Insert a short delay after every Send command Let>SK_DELAY=20 Send>+ Release Shift Release Ctr...

Note: While writing this post and doing more testing, I discovered: The bug is limited to CRYPT_LEVEL 2. When CRYPT_LEVEL is 1 or 3, all is well. - - - - - The Crypt command always fails on every single string that I have tried when the second character is l (the lowercase letter L). So these string...

I discovered what I believe is a bug in the Crypt command. It appears that the Crypt command chokes if the second letter of the text to be encrypted is the lower case letter "l". (That is l as in "low"). Crypt outputs just one character in this situation. I am not sure if this is specific to my envi...

How do you hide a Dialog? Would I use: SetDialogProperty>Dialog1,frmDesign_1,Visible,False ? I assume I would need to use that code in the actions for each of my 3 buttons. But then I am not sure how the user could get back to the dialog. If I make the dialog visible again when a button's actions fi...

I am working on an app that is compiled as an .exe file. I would like the app to display a dialog with, say, 3 buttons and a Close button. Pressing any one of the 3 buttons performs a related task, such as setting focus on a Window and entering some test. After the user presses one of the 3 buttons,...

The database functions in Macro Scheduler are wonderful: clear and powerful. Is there some way that a Macro Scheduler script can detect when a DBQuery on a MS SQL Server table has completed? Right now I am just having it wait 5 seconds. But if the query finishes quickly, I'd rather the user did not ...

I have multiple folders of linked macros. What is the best way to move a macro, such as diskspace.scp, from one folder to another.

It is not so simple as just moving the underlying file using Windows Explorer.

Thanks in advance.

This macro checks for a particular open window. If it finds it, it does a Save operation (Ctrl-S). It waits for 5 minutes, then loops back and repeats the check and the Save, running until it is manually stopped. The RAM used by this macro increases a little after some but not all loops. Also, the a...

Is there any way to script the rolling of the mouse wheel forward or backward? I work with an application that changes the font size in a viewing window only if the Ctrl key is depressed and the mouse wheel is rolled forward. There are no other controls that affect the font size. Is there any chance...
