SW, Support may be able to give a more complete answer, but I don't know any other reason for VAREXPLICIT to exist. This situation that you are describing is resolved by VAREXPLICIT. Without setting VAREXPLICIT to 1 "CR" is immediately interpretted as Carriage Return. It doesn't matter that it will ...

MSBUTTON2 is not defined in the dialog... where does it come from? It is one of those nice tidbits provided by the fine folks at MJTnet. I can't explain "where it comes from" any more than I can explain why "Dialog>MyDialog" creates a dialog box. You'd have to ask Marcus. However, I can tell you wh...

jpuziano, Thanks for the compliment. As for your post, you could use a button. Let>msEdit1=10 Dialog>MyDialog Caption=can the blinking cursor be suppressed? Width=239 Height=81 Top=CENTER Left=CENTER Max=0 Min=0 Close=0 Resize=0 Label=Countdown,8,24 Label=seconds left,126,24 Button=%msEdit1%,72,16,4...

"CR" is a system variable for "Carriage Return". Try setting VAREXPLICIT=1. You then need to place %s around called variables so "CR" without %s will be interpretted as text. Let>Var=Create x270 Download let>ValidChar=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890 len>Var,lenVar let>...

mydave, Thanks for your input. Thanks also for the ideas about how to defeat the users attempts to defeat the executables. My problem is that my users were taught by me to use the shift-esc sequence. Now, I have enough helpful executables for them that when they press shift-esc, they don't know whic...

Change the 1 in the WriteLn statement to something innocuous. I like to use "wresult". What you are doing is setting "1" to the value of the result of WriteLn. Therefore when you add TT and "1" you are probably adding TT and 0. WriteLn>C:\Rec1.txt,1,Selecto becomes WriteLn>C:\Rec1.txt,wresult,Select...

You're welcome, glad I could help.

OK, I think I've found it. Dialog2 already exists in your main script. Even though we are writing a whole new script, for some reason that is in conflict. Change the name of the dialog being created in the "Update" subroutine to something that does not already exist in your main script. Hope this he...

mydave, Does "~list_script~.scp" run on its own? You should be able to double click it from explorer if the .scp extension is associated with Macro Scheduler. If it does not run, can you post the ~list_script~.scp so I can take a look at it. If there is something in there that is secret or proprieta...

macrunning, You can slow down the speed of the individual characters with the SK_DELAY variable. Let>SK_DELAY=10 Will cause a 10 millisecond delay between each character being sent. However, the way that you've described the situation, it sounds more like you're not waiting long enough before you st...

mydave, I don't know why your questions pique my curiousity. Try something like this: IfFileExists>c:\~list_script~.scp DeleteFile>c:\~list_script~.scp EndIf Dialog>Dialog1 Caption=Call up the list Width=445 Height=250 Top=100 Left=CENTER Label=Your dialog with a button that calls the list,120,72 Bu...

The hot key shortcuts are part of the Macros.dat file. As long as that file is not corrupt and is in the proper location, your shortcuts should be there.

I haven't done this (and hopefully will never have to) but it seems straight forward enough as long as certain criteria are met. I assume you have already installed Macro Scheduler and it is installed on the new drive exactly as it was on the old drive. First, make sure that MS is shut down and not ...

Ian, Thanks for your input. However, what would a user as you've described do in the event that any other program failed? Why does a Macro Scheduler executable NEED a special key combination to stop it? I do think that disabling shift-esc for a compiled script should be an option and not the rule. B...
