Is it possible to create a method that allows buttons to exist on some pages.
The traditional designer allows you to use 'display on alll pages'.
Would it be possible to have 'display on pages 1,3,4,6,7' etc ??
if you have a button running VB script, do you have to edit it
within your editor or can you edit it while working in Mach?
If you open a screenset in Mach, then go to the operator menu and 'Edit Button Script'
any buttons that consist of VB script will then start to flash.
If you now click on a flashing button the VB script editor pops up
and you can edit the code, save and close it.
From memory the VB used by Mach isn't true VB
probably best to talk to Art about that one.
I'm looking forward to using it, any ideas when we may get to play with it?
I've setup a button over a graphic on the screen,
set the transparency to full but it just appears as a grey block on the screen.
I've got an LED set to flash red - But it flashes green. Where should the red graphics that jetcam creates be placed?
I use loads of userdro's in my wizards.
How do I implement these in Jetcam?
If I put the DRO number in (e.g. 1001) then the DRO appears and
I can enter a value but it resets the value to 0.
would it be possible to have the DRO formatting codes as a
drop down list of formats?
Please elaborate. transparency should be working 100% correctly within the limitations
described in the help file. Where are you seeing a grey block? In my editor?
I must admit that I never tried 100% transparency for a button.
I've never heard of a "user" DRO.
What are they? How are they different from normal DROs?
Do you perhaps mean the new "sliders" by any chance?
Because if so, the editor you have does not support them.
Absolutely.
Are you talking about the "Format String" property?
Are there any other preset formats you'd like?
Please forgive my ignorance, I don't know much about MACH.
My father bought a lathe and a mill, and asked me to write him
an improved MACH screen editor. Which I did.
Now I am going to write a better one.
If you are simply trying to put a button over an image,
you can simply add an image to the button using the
button's Image property.
I have no idea what is and is not allowed in a format string.
So I cannot answer your question concerning "+" and "-" signs.
Oh and while I remember have you had any problems with importing Graphics as background images ?
I find that if I import a 1024x768 image onto 1024x768 screen then the bottom of the screen is missing.
OEM Codes
I want to do the same for OEM codes, but have no idea
what needs to be in the drop down. I may implement this
as I did format strings (see below).
Hope you don't mind me putting in so many comments
Can the new editor open a screen file that was
originally made with Jetcam 1.01 without corruption?
The only real question is, how long do you want to wait.

All your posts are sort of teasing
I would be happy to host it....

I think when you see what we do to create pictures, it may also influence how you design your designer.
...It will save you a lot of head aches too.
We can put shadows on our buttons and your
designer does not have to deal with that issue.
The folder of bitmaps needs to be put in the Mach3\bitmaps folder and the
.set file in the root Mach3 folder.
I purposely placed the background at 5,5 just to give a black border
around it when Mach3 is running.
Ok, this seems to imply that Screen4 can't be used to develop add-ons. Or at least, I can't see how it would be possible.
