*If there is anything not working please post the OEM number or VB code*

Currently the "input DRO's" has not been added, we have it working but we are working out the code to make it easer for the user.

-We have made the ability to modify and add code as simple as possible.
-We are currently working on an external ".AS" file that will hold all of the code for the screen that can be opened in Note Pad or any text editor to add any functions you want, for example VB,OEM ext...

You can download or copy the link and past it into the load screen option, the swf file here: http://www.machsupport.com/Downloads/MachFlash.swf

This is cool
The tab key to bring up shuttle not working?

Also can we make the tabs open new window?

That way we can have the Program Run screen on #1 monitor
and the Toolpath screen on #2 monitor
or the shuttle window on the #2 Monitor
or both on the second monitor

When i posted the web link in Mach3 then set the ports n pins for xyz
the screen worked fine the first time

Now when i load i get no data.

So i downloaded the file to mach3 folder and i get two problems

1: Is every thing looks good no (no Data Tags) but i get (Re Configuration E-stop) Message and E-stop will not reset

2: When i change tabs from (Program Run Alt-1) to any other tab screen the G-code green gray back round, Scrollbars and G-code text
are displayed on top of every other tabbed screen

Also the alt -1234557 not working

If you can clean up this file i see no reason not to distribute this with mach3
it is nice to be able to resize the screens would help with people being able to use
older 12 or 14 inch lcd monitors

This is nice work if i can help in any way to get this tested and released let me know
It will also serve as a good template for people wanting to make there own custom flash screens

I have had the no reset issue too. All I did was download the latest version of Mach and it was fixed

Program Run=keyboard shortcut-Alt-1
MDI= Keyboard Shortcut-Alt-2
ToolPath= Keyboard Shortcut-Alt-4
Offsets= Keyboard Shortcut-Alt-5
Settings= Keyboard Shortcut-Alt-6
Diagnostics= Keyboard Shortcut-Alt-7

Program Run=keyboard shortcut-Alt-1, etc., etc.

Okay, well at least someone got a laugh out of it!  :) ;D

Anyway....  I guess I went into "Over-Geek" mode because holding down the alt key and pressing a sequence of numbers generates different symbols.
For example, Alt+167 yields the degree symbol, like such: º

Knowing that sent me off into the zone of misunderstanding... I'd never heard of Alt-1234557 doing anything!  Notice, I used the minus symbol.  Now that really struck me odd.  How the heck can you hold down the Alt key and take away numbers. (Message to self:  ::)  duh! )

Brain fart....
