Title: AXIS DRO movable window
Post by: CCWood on July 09, 2016, 02:26:22 PM
Hi All,
I'm trying to create an axis DRO window that I can move to a second monitor to use while positioning my work piece & zeroing the axes.
Ya-Nvr-No posted a pic of a wizard that would do some of what I need (or at least point me in the right direction) on May 17, 2014 (see attached pic). Anyone have a similar wizard they could share or advise on how to write it. I've done some pop-up windows for warnings & notes, some macros, and some screen mods in M4 but never a wizard.
Thanks

With a lot of struggling, a little direction & help, I now have a Wizard that shows the axis DRO's in real time (set to 100ms scan) and that can be pinned to the screen's top. This uses iRegs0 to Write and Read the small floating popup. From this template, I can now create several other useful screen popups and also add to this as my Screen MPG

Took a whole lot of rocks, Terry  :P
