Machscreen Screen Designer / Re: The right ""Function" for a button!
« on: March 14, 2014, 12:18:58 PM »
GOT IT DONE!
Here's what I finally learned...
Use the Function: Execute Basic-Script, F-code: 34, Execute code: HtmlDialog( GetMainFolder()+"Mach3MillGcode.htm" ), HtmlDialog( GetMainFolder()+"Mach3MillGcodeLetters.htm" ),
and HtmlDialog( GetMainFolder()+"Mach3MillMcode.htm" ) respectively, for each button (G-Codes, G-Code Letters, M-Codes).

I also converted and renamed the .bmp files in the C:\Mach3\Bitmaps\MillBitmaps\ folder for each of those bitmaps (G-codes_US.bmp, G-code-letters_US.bmp; M-codes_US.bmp) to .htm files and put them in the main Mach3 folder.

Now the buttons pull up their respective lists and place them on top of the screen for reference.

Thanks again for the assistance!!

G-Code .htm now works. I am converting the M-Codes and the G-Gode Letters .bmp's to .htm's to try that. If I don't have any luck, I'll make them pages.

Appreciate the help guys!!

The files in the my folder,  C:\Mach3\Bitmaps\MillBitmaps\ are all either .jpg, .bmp, or png. I don't see any html files.

However, when I put in the Execute Code as: HtmlDialog( GetMainFolder()+"Mach3MillGcode.htm" ) in MachScreen, and push the G-Code button once the screen set is sent to Mach3, it brings up the G-Code picture! Not sure where it's finding an .html file for the G-Code, cause I sure as hell don't see it.

I also tried the M-Code .bmp and entering the same Function, F-code and Execute Code (with the file name changed of course) and all I get on the Mach3 screen is a white square where the picture should be. Here I go again!!

Russ,
Yea, I thought I had it yesterday too! Nope!!!

However, I JUST GOT IT!!!!! Finally.

I had been entering the Function and F-Code first and the Execute Code line was always automatically filled with some LoadFile command. I just read your post and decided to put the HtmlDialog( GetMainFolder()+"Mach3MillGcode.htm" ) command in the Execute Code line FIRST. Then it WORKED!

Thanks!! Ya saved me from going bald(er) pulling my hair out!!

Machscreen Screen Designer / The right ""Function" for a button!
« on: March 13, 2014, 04:13:36 PM »
Might someone please tell me what Function Code, F-Code number, etc., goes in the MachScreen Properties Box, sub-panel - BUTTON, when setting up a Button to load a Bitmap (picture)?

I want to bring up the bitmap "G-Code_US.bmp" from the Mach3\Bitmaps\MillBitmaps\ path to show an informational picture of all the G-Codes and their assigned tasks.

I set up a button with the text "G-Code" on it (I will do the same for the M-Codes later). Tried the Function, "Execute Basic-Script" with F-code 34. That automatically enters LoadFile( and the correct path to the file) to the Execute Code parameter.I then saved the screen, loaded it to Mach3, and when the G-Code button is pushed- Nothing!! Says in the Status block, "Scripter Compile Error. In:" I don't see any other "Function" that appears would work. Soooooo, HELP!

Thanks!
Bob

Mach Screens / G-Code Button problem

Mach Screens / G-CODE Button Problem
« on: March 12, 2014, 03:08:54 PM »
I placed a Button on screen. Then I entered the text for it, "G-CODES". Next I clicked on the FUNCTION box in the MachScreen Properties Dialog box and selected "Execute Basic-Script" (this was the only Function listed in either OEM or Standard) that appeared even close to what I wanted to do). When I selected this Function, the Standard Code  box changed to 34. Also, LOADFILE (C:\Mach3\MillBitmaps\G-code_US.bmp) appeared in the Execute code box.

I want this button to open the file on screen that shows the list of G-Code numbers and their functions. (I plan on a similar button for M-Codes). When I save the Screen and load it into Mach3, when pushed, the button does nothing! The file called is spelled correctly and in the path listed in the Execute Code box. I have no idea why this will not work! Anybody got an idea???
