Re: Generating MSButton base on variable

I agreed cause I don't know the number of buttons that need to be shown on the dialog. I can change the size of dialog base on the number of "clicking" the button and I would like to show the button that represent the info that I did. I know I can create a bunch of buttons and set visible to false ...

RegistryWriteKey (write hex value)

I want to have my startup script automatically set the taskbar to hidden but the registrywritekey isn't working since the value must be hex. Am I missing something obvious here? /* hide: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckR...

[documentation] Windows Key Event

I found out that you need to have the extra parameter set to 8 in order for the windows button to trigger an event that you can act on:

Code: Select all

OnEvent>KEY_DOWN,VK91,8,<sub routine>
i.e. this will not trigger:

Code: Select all

OnEvent>KEY_DOWN,VK91,0,<sub routine>

Re: Generating MSButton base on variable

I would NOT dynamically change the dialog definition. Instead ALWAYS have a button but simply show/hide it based on value of your variable. To do this set the button's "Visible" property at runtime with SetDialogProperty Am I doing something really bad when I do this to generate an unknown number o...

Re: Generating MSButton base on variable

You need to use the include> command and dynamically create a .scp file with the dialog code. That code can then be created as you please.

Re: Determining if a Macro is already running

I use a script which I call "watchdog" this one will read the ini file and can then independently of the other scripts know what pids to look at. If the heartbeat of a script isn't detected the watchdog will kill the process and start a new one. So in that sense my approach is more generic. But I li...

Re: Determining if a Macro is already running

I usually add a ini file which will have a timestamp and a pid section. I post to this file and can easily check it upon start to see if another instance of the macro is already running. (Just check and see if the pid is running).

Re: Sending a windows notification or something similar

If you look at my code here:
viewtopic.php?t=7408

You'll see that I check for the display resolution and place a "popup" next to the lower right corner. You should be able to adapt it to your needs.

Re: Win10 Keyboard has new key "fn" to activate Fn keys

You don't need to have the fn pressed when doing script ed function key press. But if you want to have fn locked for your own human interface you can use the fn-lock function: Fn + Shift (first press fn, then shift) fn lock/unlock: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Software-and-How-To-Question...
