Hi Scott
I continue here our discussion about my program machscreen.
1). Can you put a way to "Z" layer the Bitmaps?, for example I have a Bitmap image that has Labels on top of it, when I import a screen into your designer the Labels disappear behind the Bitmap.
-This is a problem I was dealing with from the beginning. I'd prefer a solution, that would display controls and bitmaps on the screen like mach3 does. I will get in touch with artsoft, perhaps I get the loading order.
2). Most of all of your DROS show up as a Black box, sometimes you can see the "number" formatting in the DRO sometimes just the black box.
-As I can read from your first question, you using a ready screen.set. Is this file in the Mach3 directory? If you gettings black boxes, it looks to me the bitmaps are not found.
3). Can you implement "Horizontal Sliders", as well as Vertical Sliders.
-As far as I know, there are no vertical sliders in Mach3
4). I noticed when you go to add a OEM object, lets say the X position DRO, that the dropdown naming list you can set to X Position DRO OEM, but you then have to go and put the Code for that DRO "800" in the code line below it. On the OEM stuff, if your users pick lets say an OEM object then the code for the name of that object should automatically appear in the code line below it. This would save having users have to search of OEM codes for the objects that you have already listed the names.
-Did you select OEM X DRO from the combobox?
5). "Help" The help file will not come up on my comp. I am running Vista 64 bit (unfortunatly, but had no choice).
-You are right this help format is not supported by Vista
Wish List:
1). Is there a way you could add "Dynamic" scaling to the entire screen and all objects on the screen?? I.e. if you click a cornor to resize the Runtime screen that that screen and all objects in it will rescale both horizontally and Vertically to the size you change it to.
-I will think about that.
2). I like the "Red dotted" screen boarder lines you put into the screen, can you make a button or dialog that you could set the Extends of the screen you are building so that, the Red boarder lines would show on all screens? You would then know exactly how far you could place objects on the bottom and right side for the screen resolution you have choosen.
-What resolution are you working with?
3). Is there a way that you could tie "buttons" (User and OEM), to other objects in Mach3" For instance if LED 1201 came on, or some DRO was this or that value, then the button that is watching that event would Trigger.
-If I understand your question right, this must be done with scripts
