Machscreen Screen Designer / Re: MachScreen releases

Also, if you are running Mach3 without the parallel port driver, the LED may not work correctly. Many Mach3 functions rely on the parallel port driver, or a motion controller plugin, to work properly.

Ahhh ok!!
I have an Ethernet Smooth Stepper with a CNC4PC's breakout board, running Mach3 on a thin client with Windows XP.
Any suggestions to solve this?

I bought your screenset about 2 months ago, best investment ever!! So, I'm running an unmodified version of your screenset.

I love your screenset, but I'm trying to adapt to a touch screen panel, because I have an HMI with 1024 x 768 of resolution, and the icons and buttons are very small, especially if the operator uses gloves

Thanks Klaus, of course I've seen your videos and your PowerPoint, I've come this far thanks to that and the forum.

I'm asking you some questions that I really do not find answers elsewhere

1) What is DRO Tabbing? Some DROs have 0, 1, 2 or 4. Does this have to do with whether or not they allow manually entering values ​​in them? If not, how can I make a DRO NOT ALLOW manual entry values, only show information?

2) This question has to do with my initial doubt, regarding the transparencies. I took my time and studied several screensets, and I can't come to a certain conclusion.
A label, if it contains text, has a transparent background, but if it contains a system label, it takes the selected color as background. Why? Because of Mach3?
I want to have a transparent background in all labels, text, Errors, Mode, UserLabels, File, etc.
In wiki, talks about color 254,254,254 for 24-bit RGB bitmaps, Mach3 takes it as transparent, does not that apply to the rest of the objects?

3) I need to show the description of the tool, I found in the forum a system label called TOOLDESC for it, it works the first time, but it is not updated when changing the tool. Do you know something about it?

4) The following error, I found it also in Gerry's 2010 screenset, the LED of the Spindle, it turns on but it does not turn off.
This is my properties for that LED:
Function: Spindle CW LED
OEM-Code: 11
Event/Input/Output: Led output
Color: Led green
Blink: no
Red/Green LED: no
It's a 64x32 png LED, half says ON, and another half says off. There is something wrong?

I'm still working, thanks a lot!!

Klauss...hi!!!

I have learned a lot and greatly improved the use of my Mach3, with your add-ons, plug-ins and software.
You are awesome!!

But there is something that is leaving me crazy, but it is probably because I do not know how to use MachScreen.

So, I bought the 2010 Screenset form ger21, with his PS files to use them as learning to make my own Screenset.
At first I started editing a copy of ger21's screenset to understand the methodology he used, which by the way, is worth every penny. Thanks ger21!
First I added an image with transparent background, it worked.
Then I added text, the background was transparent, perfect.
But at some point, something happened due to an error, and I do not understand why, but the transparencies were no longer visible, instead they began to see a solid color on the background.

What are the general rules or suggestions to use transparencies of images and texts correctly?
Is it convenient to add the background to the beginning or end? Should I add the buttons before or after the background? And what about the texts?

When I add an image, image button, or label, I no longer get them to be transparent. At first it worked, but I think I messed it up when swap layers.

Another thing, when I add an image button or label, these are above the background, but when I add an image is below the background image. So, then I apply the solution to swap layers, and I think that was the origin of the mess.

Can you tell me where to learn a little more about all this?

Anyway, everything you've done is incredible.

Thank you!!

Hi,

Is the plug-in running through Windows Script Host?

I logged in as administrator, but I would like to run as a single user with limitations like a kiosk mode pc, for that I'm using SteadyState on XP.
My project is a Windows XP with a HMI flat panel, running a kind of kiosk mode, and it works perfectly well!!
The only thing I need, is to power off whole system when closing Mach3.

Just for test, running on Windows 10, works fine

Here I left the dialog asking for which user would run the vb script. I have to unchek protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity, and hit ok to exetute the script. After that all works fine.


So, I would start to read in some vb forums.

Yeah, but is Windows XP SP3, there is not UAC

By the way, where I can find VB scripts examples to start to learn?

thanx!

Hi again, I hope you can finish it soon, I'm starting to work on a PC in kiosk mode to run Mach3, trying to hide the title bar, buttons, and other things like turn off the whole machine with the help of your script.

I'll ask you something, when the script is executed (closing Mach3) a popup message appears asking wich user would execute this program, trying to protect my PC from malicious software. I guess it's a permissions problem, don't?

I really don't have much experience with VB, so please, could you help me?

I just need a good scritp to turn off my pc.

Thanks!!
