Title: Combining various vbscript and gcode into a file versus a button
Post by: vss on May 23, 2006, 02:52:00 PM

I have a fairly long and busy set of vbscript programming behind two of my buttons.  I was wondering if there is a way to call or reference a file that contains that code versus pasting it all behind the button.  Anyone know how I would do this?  Also, I would like to hide the vbscript from someone using the screen designer to review my screen pages.  Is there a way to do this as well?

Thanks...

You could put your VB code into an Mcode and call the Mcode from the button... IS that what you are looking for?

The M code sounds good.  Is there then a way to put all the code for the M command into one file that can be included with my installation?  Essentially one central place where all of this can be placed, and essentially hidden from the typical user.  I want to make it easy to use, and hard to screw up.

You have to put the macro in the Mach3/macros/mach3Mill folder.. you can hide the Macro with windows

hope that helps
