VB and the development of wizards / Re: Macro within Macro?

« on: June 29, 2007, 12:01:24 PM »

I've got the latest release, but maybe adding the S word makes a difference.  I think the problem was that my script was calling a part program, but not ending the script.  I had the script in a while loop waiting for the part to finish, so calling M3 became a situation of calling a macro from within a macro.  I modified the script so that it ends after starting the part program, so now the M3 inside the part program works fine.  This seems to be the best resolution, so I'm going to go with that solution for now.  Thanks for the help!

So basically, you're saying to make a new macro called M201.m1s or the like and make the contents

DoSpinCW()

Then call that from the part program with M201.  Interesting idea - I'll give it a try.  Thank you!

Hi Poppa,

Thanks for the reply.  The problem I'm having is that the exact syntax you just listed does not work from within a VB button script or from within a macro.  It is simply ignored.  If my VB calls a part program, M3 is ignored in the part program as well.  The only way I've been able to make my VB script turn on the spindle is with DoOEMButton(169), which simulates a press of the spindle button.  That works for the VB script, but I need a way to do it from within the part program that is called by the VB.  Any ideas?

Thanks for the help,
Rachael

General Mach Discussion / Screentweak Current Version?

« on: June 28, 2007, 09:06:31 PM »

Does anyone know where I can download the latest version of screentweak?  The version in the zip file at artsoftcontrols.com is only B1.  The customization wiki references a version C1, which is supposed to have the capability of listing all the hotkeys in a given screenset.  I have a hotkey conflict somewhere that is really vexing me and I could sure use that feature.  I feel stupid for having to ask, but if anyone can point me to the URL for a download of the current version, I'd be most appreciative.

Thanks,
Rachael

VB and the development of wizards / Macro within Macro?

I suspect this has been covered before, but searching the forum for 'macro' pulls pretty much every thread and I couldn't find the answer; so please pardon my redundancy.  Is it possible to call a macro from within a macro?  Specifically, the problem I'm having is that if I run a macro or a button script, M3 & M4 commands won't work.  M5 does, oddly enough, but not M3 or M4.  Also, if I use LoadRun() to call a part program from the macro or button script, the M3 and M4 commands won't work within the part program either.  Am I doing something wrong or can I just not call a macro from within a VB script?  Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks,
Rachael
