Re: Compiled Script Logging?

(I am struggling to find a generic place to write the log file to on a user's system, without running as Admin) No guaranties. Internal to our domain, using C:\ProgramData\Folder_I_Create works for me. Caveate being most users can't see the ProgramData folder so if you want them to see the file you...

Hi Phil, ...and how other users deal with it. Mostly by cursing. :evil: Been dealing with this for a few years.

Re: [added 15.0.23] Run command, capture STDOUT

This works for me: (Note the use of "Between>" rather than "RegEx>") Looks like your file is on a shared drive, be sure your admin user has access to the share.

Re: Copy some data and store it to an Array without leaving current page

I agree with Dorian. Save to a file. I don't know who came up with the Alt + D. I prefer Ctrl + L. Its supposed to work in all web browsers and also works in Windows File Explorer. You could also add a dialog or message at the end that displays for a second to let you know the hotkey worked. Wait>0....

Re: ALT+TAB show dialog and executable even if compiled as hidden

If ALT + TAB is really a problem, one way to thwart it is to disable ALT. Of course this has its own set of issues some of which might be addressed by adding conditions in the Reset subroutine. You could, for example, detect the current window name and fail to release ALT if a specific window name i...

Re: Acquire the working area of a dialog

I'm rarely as likely to remember information handed to me as information I had to work for. I enjoy the adventure.

As for searching. I had the advantage of having a script that contained the code in Marcus' post so I searched for "IsZoomed" then skipping over your entry left only four matches.

Re: Acquire the working area of a dialog

Marcus posted this back in 2006. Slightly different than what you have come up with. https://www.mjtnet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3124 Also, though I appeciated Marcus' excellent getclient.dll and used it for a couple of years, I eventually started using a short old style dialog to acquire the t...

Re: Parameter object is improperly defined?

Assuming your connection string is correct I don't notice any glaring flaws. Databases are finicky though. One thing I know that might be required are apostrophes or possibly quotes around the values. VALUES ('%uid%', '%plant%', '%machine%', '%timestamp%', '%isonline%', '%transfers%', '%runtime%', '...

Pet Peeves

Everybody has them (PP). Something that is insignificant yet makes you cringe. Like the F150 I seen (PP) parked sideways in front of an EV charging station. A deliberate ICING event using a known gas hog. Or the misuse of "there" - a position vs "their" - belonging to them vs "they're" - a contracti...
