2 ways that are easy... You can do an on screen timer in screen edit mode OR you can make a PMC file. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVhH9qyjjf0

Here is how you can make this magic happen I used the mc.mcCntlSetValue(inst, mc.VAL_IGNORE_LIMIT_MSG,0, 0) . You can use 0 to turn off the messages or 1 to turn them on mc.mcCntlSetValue(inst, mc.VAL_IGNORE_LIMIT_MSG,0, 1). Also I added it to the mc.mcCntlGetValue(inst, mc.VAL_IGNORE_LIMIT_MSG,0) so you can get the state of it.

This is in version 4690 ..

This got added to the next release on the FTP server. I added a new mcSetValue() that allows you to turn off the home messages in Mach4. I will post more but wanted you to know that was all done.

Here you are with 300% more settings to enable and disable the wheel. I added a button action to do the following:
1.) Toggle the Mouse Wheel enable
2.) Mouse Wheel On
3.) Mouse Wheel Off

I put the code in and your job is to test it

It all has to do with sizers and the screen resolution. You can resize the width so you can read it better. We  Check the width of everything before every release. But sadly we can’t control how you setup the pc. I think we can set a minimum width ... wonder what that will do whatever you do don’t get frustrated, we are here to help before that happens!

What are you running for a plugins? And are you trying to do Modbus and not getting the communications? Something is not allowing the core to shutdown.
Please upload a gcode file and I will tell you what is wrong. Mach3 is way more mill and 4 has a full on turn Gcode interpreter.

I want to help but I need you to help me help you. I wish I could see what your seeing because I could do more.

It sounds like you are accusing me of pirating which is not the case

Nope never said that. I was asking that you bring it down a bit and  have a chat and you have. Thank you!

Okay, That seems logical. You need a license come find me, I am here. They are trying to stop people from abusing the system. If I could I would give the software away because I just like helping people. But sadly I can't do that...
