No Menu Button?
« on: October 25, 2009, 10:29:54 AM »
So, like I've went to the Config->General Config... , after making changes to No System Menu in Mach3 Checkbox, i get this dialog:



So, how do I make this button?

Is there a way of read/write XML files using VB?

Use Screen4 or Machscreen to add a button to the screen.

An XML file is just a text file so you could do what some folks do and just hack it. Alternatively you could do it right and use the XML Document Object Model (DOM). Depends on which VB you're using so search tinterweb for xml document object model in vb.

Yes, what OEM Code of Button should it be?

If we are using Mach3's Cypress VB  for accessing XML, is it possible? I have not heard of a tutorial of read/write XML using VB6. T_T

yes - though it may get less than reliable depending on how deep you want to get.

so if you google "xml in vb6" it comes back with nothing? - I don't think so - see attached pic

stirling,

yes, thank you for your explanation. Not being sarcastic, but it's quite hard to find a solution that is directly compatible within Mach3's Cypress VB. That's what I meant. So far I only managed to play with read/write using text files, but for really read/write of XML, i find myself still impossible, but may not be to you.

I've been looking for it for years. I self learn VB through Mach3, I can't go any further because I don't understand the original VB works, only Mach3's Cypress VB.

ok - a bit of confusion on my part as to whether you were wanting tuts for vb6 or cypress - my apologies.
best I can suggest are these links - just bear in mind that cypress enable is not exactly a text book example of well implemented vb. It will fail where it shouldn't from time to time - but just battle away and code round it best you can.

http://www.w3schools.com - particularly XML DOM
Hope this helps
