Hi all,
I though I would play around with building a custom screen for my Touch Screen Mach3 controller. I am using MachScreen V1.56. I have been able to put together a working screen using "Execute Basic Script" macros. I would like to create some Subroutines and Functions to stream line a few things. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get a button script (for example) to call a subroutine I created in the VB Script Editor. I have read through everything I can find, with no joy. I put a message box inside the subroutine to see if it was getting called and it is not. What am I missing?
example code (VB Script Editor):
Public Dim MyDRO as Integer
MyDRO = 1000
sub setdro( value as double)
setuserdro(MyDRO, value)
end Sub
example code (Button Script Code)
setdro( 1000.0001 )

Hi,
save your script as a macro, e.g. m1100.m1s (don't forget .m1s extension. In your screen just put !Code"m1100"! as "Execute code" (text within the ! !. That should call your script everytime you click your button.

Klaus,
My script file is named test.m1s. Do I place !Code"test"! in the Execute code for the button? I tried this and still nothing happens.

Hello,
try the following:
name your macro m1200.m1s
set the Execute code to: Code "m1200"

Hi Dennyz
try this:
copy the attached macro m1150.m1s in your profile dir (standard installation C:\Mach3\macro\ profilename). Add a button to your screen with the following properties: ( these parameters are for MachScreen)
Global No
Function Execute Basic-Script either select this fct or type 34 in the Standard Code line
Standard Code 34
Hotkey
Execute Code Code "m1150"
Text on ctrl Macro call
Locked for mouse No
and save the screen set. Load the new screen in Mach3.
