Hi Scott,
 
the first point you are mentioning, is not a bug. The screen size you set at creation time is not saved to the *.set file. The dotted line shows the max outline of the controls used on that page, accordingly the background is painted.

to save me time, searching for the page where the menu items overlap the screen, please give me the page number, so I can have a closer look at that.

as I mentioned earlier, this program is freeware and can be used from everyone. The only restriction is, it may not be sold.

Hi everybody

Version V1.16 is available for download. I wouldn't have problems if commercial guys would use this program, as long as they don't make profit with it.
I did a few fixes and made text on buttons look like on Mach3, thanks to Brian's info. For the moment this is a final version.

Hi Greg,

you are right, this was a bug. The corrected version can be downloaded ( V1.15.2 ).

To get the text looking like in Mach, it is like sticking in the dust. Scott could you please give me the CreateFont - parameters for all used fonts. The API function calls Screen4 is using to draw the text and how the ratio height / width of the font is calculated?

Hi

there is no way for the user to set the font size, because Mach3 is using an independent font size. In version 1.15.1 I tried to set the font size to the size Mach3 is using and I made a few cosmetic changes.

Hi all

I fixed a few bugs, changed the size limitation and implemented the storing of locked controls. Scott, if you know about the hor slider, please give me a hint.
The actual version is V1.14e. Scrolling will be next.

Hi Scott,

I did some testing with sliders. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it doesn't  work the way you want. Mach3 must interpret the control letters in the format string, to decide wether or not move the slider bar. This movement is only  done in vertical direction. You can resize a slider to have a longer x then y extension. It won't work. In the version V1.14d  I found that placing a new slider doesn't work correctly, this will be fixed.

Hi Scott

issue hor slider.
You are right, the slider must be drawn from the screendesigner, as it is done for all the other ctrls, but, when the screen set is loaded into Mach3, it must be drawn by Mach3. In that case Mach3 must recognize it as a hor slider. I know only the definition letters S, D, T, B, L, H. With those I cannot define a hor slider. If there is a way to describe a hor slider, please tell me.

Hi all

@Scott  I will take the contolling of the max window size away.

@Gerry   did the color setting problem occur with version 1.14d?

@Greg the font isn't stored in the set file. I will set the font to the default values of Mach3, but if you change the font setting in Mach3, you have the problem again.

@Gerry problem closing without saving. I can't reproduce the problem on my machine. Can you give me more information, or your screen-set file
@Gerry I will save the lock for mouse items in a later version.

@Brett At the moment you can copy(ctrl C) and paste(ctrl v) complete pages( ctrl A) within a screenset.

At the moment, I don't have the time I'd like to have. I'm trying to get the mayor problems fixed and implement the wishes later on.

Hi Scott,

I changed all the static German part to multilingual (I hope I found all entries). Can you give me a hint, how to read your enclosed screen shot? Please tell me the png format LED you have problems with. The vertical slider is already implemented. I could define an horizontal slider, the question is, can Mach3 (all Versions) handle it.  About the scrolling I will think about.
