Hello,
I've spent hours on the silliest problem. I have a script that uses
GetOEMDRO(815)
GetOEMDRO(814)
These are supposed to be for estimated time and elapsed time.
They both return zero, even though I can apply that value to a DRO in screen4 and the boxes count like they should.
When I try to go:
Myvar = GetOEMDRO(815)
or
msgbox GetOEMDRO(815)
it returns zero. I thought maybe I needed to dimension a variable to hold a date or time, and that just returns "12:00:00PM"
The purpose of all of this was to save the elapsed and estimated time to a file every minute or so, so the file could be read remotely to see how much time remains. I also have a lot of experience with AutoHotkey, and so far, I have been unable to extract the value of the text boxes either. I'm really stuck.
What am I doing wrong?
TYIA!

Hi,
You cannot return those values in Mach using VB...you can only return those values in Flash.
It will have to be a requested addition that you will have to ask Brian for.
I would also like to also mention that the limited VB that we do get from Mach does not support many date and time functions either :(

I would use a Flash screen and connect directly to your server...no need to even right to a file :)
