Hi

Is it possible to use the interface to directly edit and safe a program without using notepad?

And also is it possible to run in "full screen" mode, where you can have the screen in full without the task bar or mach border window?

Mach3 does not have a built in editor. You can use any text editor that you want, but it will be external.


As for the fullscreen, there's an auto screen enlarge option in General Config. AS long as you hide the taskbar in Windows, you'll get a full screen.
There's also an option to hide the menu, but you'll need to add a button to the screen to turn it back on.

Thanks, can you elaborate on the hide menu option please, I found the setting for turning it off but what would the command be to turn it on, I can just assign this to a button called system.

Almost there, turning off the menu is not quite the full screen I was hoping for, since the border is still there with options to minimize, resize and close mach, but I'll look into it... you've been a great help!

OEM code 348 hides the menu, 349 turns it back on.

You want it to look like it's the only thing running, and not a windows app? Don't think you can do that.

Thanks for that.
Yes sir, that is exactly what I am after, I found software that does it, not sure how, I'm trying to track the hack in the registry to see if it's exportable.
