VB and the development of wizards / Re: CNC Grinder Wizard /Screenset

« on: April 05, 2016, 09:52:52 AM »

So, how far did this project get? I have a Jet 6x18 surface grinder I'd like to at least automate the xy motions on, can't see why z couldn't be automated as well. Just searching for ideas at this point.

No, you need to use Image Buttons with a transparent image.
And no, you can't change the font size.

What is the best way to create, find or make an Image Button with a transparent image. Basically the outline of a button, the same color as the text with no background. The background of the page will show through it.

I have Corel Paintshop Photo Pro X3 (Never used it) it comes with Corel Painter Essentials. Might that work?
Are there links out there to .png files of transparent buttons?

Thanks again for the help.

I'm using it on an XP notebook. Its been crashing and shifting things around on the display.....been frustrating. Going to try it on another machine.

Thanks Gerry.
Finding Screen4 a bit cumbersome and buggy. Things jump around almost on their own....do you use it and find it to be pretty stable?

Hood, when I click NONE I can't seem to select any of the buttons on the screen to move them around?

Mach Screens / Screen 4 Buttons - Font Size and Transparent?

« on: October 18, 2014, 03:36:32 PM »

I'm taking a crack at my first screen set. Is there a way to set the default button background transparent instead of gray but still have an outline of the button? I want to use my screen background color rather than gray.
Also, can the font size be changed?

Thanks Hood. Unsure what the issue was. But seems to be working now. I need to watch the SCREEN4 video again.
Building my first screen set. Frustrating is when I want to select an object on the screen work area, it just puts down whatever object to place was selected prior. Trying to figure out how to turn off placing objects so I can drag around objects on the screen.
