Not many features in this sample but it demonstates that Macro Scheduler has some screen capture capabilities built in.

Just finished testing your script in versions 7.2 and version 7.3. It works as you would like it to work in both previous versions. So I think you are correct, something has changed in version 7.4. To have the variables function properly they must be placed ahead of the dialog. Hope this is helpful,...

I ran your script as-posted and you are correct, the checkboxes that would seem to be set to "True" in the "INITIALIZE" subroutine do not show up as checked. I then moved the line: GoSub>INITIALIZE to the front of the script and all boxes that were initialized to "True" show up checked in the dialog...

dbish, No way to answer your question without seeing a sample of what is failing and/or looking at log output. I have several dialogs doing the same type of tasks that you are talking about. They were written earlier this year after I got a handle on how the Non-Modal dialogs worked. They are still ...

Me_again, Personally, I've always liked the "dir" to a file idea. Run>cmd /c dir [drive]:\[path] /o-d /b > [drive]:\[path]\[filename] will give you a file list with only filenames in the list and the newest file at the top of the list descending to the oldest file at the bottom of the list.

Zero = Dot (period)

Hi, Was just writing a script and discovered that a "." is equal to a "0". Is it supposed to be that way? Seems to me that they should not be equal. Using version 7.4 This simple script shows what I'm refering to: Let>a=0 Let>b=. If>a=b,good,bad Goto>end Label>good MDL>Apparently %a% = %b% Goto>end ...

Support, I'm confused. (this is a common occurance, ask my wife) The help for WaitWindowChanged says: This command causes Macro Scheduler to wait until the foreground window changes. If it doesn't change within the number of seconds specified in Timout, the command stops waiting and the variable WWC...

CatBreath, you can still copy and paste with the shortcut keys (CTRL+V for instance) when writing in hebrew. I don't mean to belabor the point, but it still sounds to me like you are switching your keyboard over to Hebrew. Or when you say "writing in Hebrew" do you mean using the "WriteLn" function?...

jmontgomerie, I'm not sure this is what you're talking about but that never stops me. There are some elements of a dialog that I could not find a way to change after the dialog had run once. These elements could be defined by variables, but once the dialog was defined using those variables, changing...

OK, another thought. Can you use Internet Explorer to access your FTP server? If you can, if you right click on a file and go to "Properties" on the popup menu, does it give you a permissions window? If this all works then this could be automated through MS using appropriate mouse clicks and/or keys...

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the program you mention. My experience with FTP is mostly using the command line and I'm not aware of being able to use chmod in a command line within FTP.

Maybe someone else will have a solution for you.

Assuming you're going to telnet into the server, you can use the Send Character/Text (abbreviated send) function to enter any unix commands that you would otherwise type at the unix command line. I would put a healthy "wait" between each "send" to make sure the command was executed. And you must als...

CyberCitizen, I may be missing something here but... To do exactly what you've asked with this particular version number and using the Separate function as you suggested, try something like this: Let>ver=1.3.0.61 Let>newver= Sep>ver,.,part Let>k=0 Repeat>k If>newver concat>newver,.

Thank you support. I've been using this software for a couple of years and never realized that you could close Macro Scheduler from the main screen by picking File then Exit. I had never tried that sequence before. What was the point, I knew it would just hide the window. After all, that's what happ...
