Title: messages in macro only showing during step through, not run
Post by: moorea21 on May 01, 2015, 02:57:12 PM

Attached macro works fine using F7, on run (in VB window), most messages don't appear. If I un-comment the message on 2nd to last line, no messages appear except the last one.

Can I change this behaviour?

Thanks

When you use the Message function to write to the status line EACH new message will overwrite the next. SO if the messages are cascading ( one after the other) then you MAY only see the last message.

I will check the code, (;-) TP

Thanks. I didnt mention that each message has sleep 1000 after it, ie 1 second. Thought it would always hold it there for that long...

I checked your code and it runs as expected here. I see all of the posted messages one at a time until the end message "1"

That was running the Macro as a Mcode from the MDI line.

Same here by MDI. But as run from vb editor window, I still get the last message only, about 'return to main program'. Hopefully (3rd attempt) I can attach my xml, is it okay  to run it with that? Thanks

Unless of course this is just something that only happens via the code window, and not when Gcode or MDI calls it?

Here it runs the same using the editor (run), MDI or Gcode file.
