Re: The Unofficial Macro Scheduler Puzzler #13
hagchr, Challenge? That's putting it mildly. However, I get obsessed by the seemingly impossible. I spent a couple of years trying to draw a rubber band selection box . I have no doubt there is a solution for performing a DateStamp on a given millisecond but I don't think we're there yet. You show t...

Re: Msced cannot see program running in compatability mode
Just a thought. You may be using 20 year old Macro Scheduler but from the path you supplied: C:\Users\Dave\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\TRX for Windows.lnk You are using an up to date operating system. Windows Defender has been killing some, not all, of my executables. Phil Pendlebur...

Re: The Unofficial Macro Scheduler Puzzler #13
Working on ideas. I'm getting a sense that millisecond timing on PCs is a major issue. Discovered that a script that gives 90s% 000:00 hits running in native Macro Scheduler might only give two hits in a thousand cycles running as an executable. Also for some reason remarks, even when they are outsi...

Re: Finding duplicates in an array and adding figures... Puzzle
Cool! Not a gamer. My Buddy Dave got the Atari Tank game back around 1977(?) We started playing Friday afternoon and played continuously until the wee hours of Sunday morning. I'd only been married for a short time then and was nearly divorced because of my "addiction". Have steered clear of video g...

Re: Finding duplicates in an array and adding figures... Puzzle
Here's my take: Using arrays, no files. Take the list and place it into an array with Separate>. Sort the array using ArraySort> then write to a new list each time a new name arrives summing the numbers if the name repeats. Started the repeat at 1 to skip over the blank line created by LabelToVar> /...

Re: How to know that the script is running in Debug?
Glad you agree. Its always worrisome not quite knowing what others are thinking. Not that I haven't had to pull my foot out of my mouth hundreds of times before. Still, strive for "accuracy". I would add to your "If>" line to catch the possibility of not yet having saved/named the new macro. GetActi...

Re: How to know that the script is running in Debug?
Am I missing something here? Is not "running in debug" simply another way of saying "running in the editor"? In my experience no matter how you run a non-compiled script the command_line variable will always be installed_directory\msched.exe . That includes running in the editor. The only way I am a...

Re: Stopwatch with Lap feature
Looked this up this afternoon to steal er... I mean borrow the code portion that parses seconds into minutes, hours and days. Discovered that in Windows 10 the script as a whole no longer functions for me. The problem is that I'm not logged in as an admin. It seems you can't write to the C:\Program ...

Re: The Unofficial Macro Scheduler Puzzler #13
SSD vs conventional hard drive... I suppose that could be possible. The only SSD I have is my personal computer and that is the one that gives me some of the worst results. Writes multiples at the same millisecond then skips to the next 1/64th and writes more multiples I have run your script twice o...

Re: The Unofficial Macro Scheduler Puzzler #13
Taskmaster? Who knew? moving up in the world... I've been running mine on 4 machines and only able to get 12% max on one of them. I finally wrote a script that pauses until 59 seconds into the minute, does a standard wait for 0.98 seconds, then runs 30 consecutive lines of datestamp. Not a loop, 30 ...

Re: The Unofficial Macro Scheduler Puzzler #13
I have not tried doing anything to analyse load. Having enough trouble just finding a reliable method for timing. Then again maybe load is the problem. :? Here's a tool for parsing out percentages.

Re: The Unofficial Macro Scheduler Puzzler #13
hagchr, Thanks for playing... I now have 5 versions. I just keep making it worse. The first version where I got about 10% is my best attempt. I actually have one version that in several hundred datestamp writes only hit 00:000 twice. I'm thinking your 29% is really excellent. things happen... There'...

Re: Naming Tabsheets
Good news is using SetControlText> and SetObjectText> both work to change the name of the tab. Bad news is that changing the name doesn't cause the displayed name to change. You can run this, use the edit field and button to change the name of "Tab 2". Leave the dialog open and use "View System Wind...

The Unofficial Macro Scheduler Puzzler #13
Its been more than 4 years since Puzzler #12 . Hopefully I've been forgiven. The game this time is to use the DateStamp> function to produce a nice clean result. something that looks like this: 2022-04-15:12:14: 00:000 - result Such that when DateStamp> writes it's data, it writes it within a millis...

Re: Checkboxes behaving sporadically
Hi Phil, Never noticed that type of issue. I threw together the following to test. Pick the "Flipping Checkboxes" button and whatever state each checkbox is in will be reversed. Pick the "Enable / Disable" button and any checkbox that is checked will be disabled. I don't see any issues. That said yo...
