VB and the development of wizards / key cutting

« on: December 02, 2010, 08:12:43 AM »

Anyone interested in cutting keys (key and lock type keys) here's a wizard for cutting them http://keycut.webs.com/.
Mainly for cutting them to code (originating) and mainly for milled type of keys, but I have a wizard for cylindrical(normal) type of keys too.
Also have made a wizard for making a Button code. It is called the 'profile maker'  you enter the key parameters and it produces the code to add to a button. The button produces the code to cut the key...
code is in the download section of above web site.

VB and the development of wizards / Licencing a wizard

« on: March 27, 2010, 10:38:15 AM »

How would you go about licensing a wizard for Mach?  Similar to the NFS wizards? 

Is it possible to have a trial wizard which you could activate if it were purchased?

Anybody done this before?
 
Thanks for any replies...

VB and the development of wizards / Is it possible to have an "Open File" box with the VB Script?

« on: March 27, 2010, 10:21:25 AM »

Hi,
If I wanted to open a text file with data in it to load into a wizard. (not a gcode file) Is it possible to have an "Open File" dialog box?

Problem is that I need to select the file to open from a list.  Not just a preset file.  Is there some sort of open file box?

Works in progress / Key cutting wizard

« on: March 10, 2009, 02:46:01 AM »

This is just a first draft of a wizzard to cut keys using mach mill.

The key is for a 4track toyota key that is milled in the middle of the key, on 4 sides (TOY40)
It cuts keys to the code number (no 1 to 5).

The machine I was using also has a probe to copying keys.  The probe just checks to see where the key is cut (and not), then fills in the DRO's.

There is another button on the wizard (spare but) i was playing with that also has code to cut a 2 track key (such as opel, Ford, etc)

I am not the worlds best programmer, but the code could be used for similar situations where u want to do something repetitive with multiple set values, (use your imagination)

I will post it here http://carkeys.net.au/ when i update it more.
