JRL,
Have you seen this site? Might be useful. And it has a color picker.

It's under the "sample pack"

For some reason I get an error when I attempt to run the .hta file. It says - line 1, character 1, expected statement. [What I did] I didn't know what a .hta file was til today. Had to look it up on the web. It said it's a file with an .hta extention. So I pasted it into wordpad saving with the .hta...

I ask really difficult questions, don't I?

MS 12.1.4 Windows XP SP3 Hello Everyone, Is there a way to call the standard color selection box? And then be able to use the returned var to set the color of a dialog object? In case that isn't clear, what I am refering to is, in the dialog properties, when you click the color property it presents ...

v12, Windows XP, SP3 Hello Everyone, I've been trying to get the splitter bar to work. I get close but not close enough. If you use the splitter and can get it to work without problems, could you just list the Dialog Properties that you must change and to what. I think that I must not be setting som...

Is there a way to check if a file (text in this case) is in use by another program? So my macro can wait til not in use, then proceed.

Thanks.

Marcus,
Sometimes I need to overwrite a file. Could you set a system variable for WriteLn that will tell WriteLn to overwrite a file, instead of add to?

You can delete the file, and then use WriteLn, but in some cases this would cause problems.

Thanks.

What steps should I follow to see what you're seeing? Change the dialog form style from fsMDIForm to fsNormal or fsStayOnTop. Copy Rain's script above. Run it to take note of dialog display. His script works correctly. Now, change the form style to fsMDIForm. Run the dialog again. The problem was w...

Thanks Rain. Not an aspect of the dialog I would have suspected. Do you have any thoughts on why this setting would cause an error like this? Marcus, I've been having problems with many small aspects of cutomizing a dialog. One is just setting the color of an edit box. Another setting the color of t...

The edit box idea works. For some reason you can't update the Label as quickly.

Thanks for the help guys.

Marcus,

I can see people using a timer command for many diifferent ideas. Maybe at some point you could add such a command.

No. What I want is a timer. In the dialog it has a line that says: Time before Autoclose (or simular) My "was gonna be solution" was a Label that would change with the variable asw. If you know how to display a working timer in the dialog, problem solved. But still why would it not work anyway? The ...

v12 Hi, Everyone. I have a question. Why will this not work? let>asw=0 Repeat>asw add>asw,1 setdialogproperty>Dialog1,Edit3,Caption,%asw% wait>1 Until>asw=15 Isn't the dialog suppose to be dynamic? Or does this change the dynamics? :lol: (little humor) I need to display a working count down timer in...

Thanks, Marcus for putting that on the wish list.

Armsys, thanks. I'll try that. What I did was have it return to itself, but that caused lag in response. Maybe making the srt Null directly under the OnEvent will help too.

v12 Marcus, Sometimes I want an event to be turned off. Is there a way to undo an OnEvent trigger? If not, could you make this possible? For example. When numlock is on I want pressing F2 to cause my macro to jump to a srt. But if numlock is off I don't want the trigger. I have tried re-directing th...
