I believe if you put fro=100 in the load script and then later create a keyboard action and associate that key to the fro variable you would have a hot key function.
so in reality I believe we could use the keyboard to step up  or down by 10% the fro value.
Now that I understand the signal script routine it should work and function keys can have uses like Terry desires.

OK here is a new one for ya.

I want to open close the tool table at teh tab. I see you can have open and exit scripts. What is the call to Open the tool table and close the tool table.

Same for Fixture table(;-)

AND yes I did look in the available docs and did not find mention of such. I did find button functions but that is not usable in the script OR is it????

OK using the TAB to runscripts on open and exit. Houston we HAVE a problem. WHEN you start MACH4 it cycles all the TAB code and will do the function of the tab. Whether you want it or not. Kinda like the Mach3 run macro on load deal.

Kinda makes that tab function(open and exit scripts) useless.

Another need is to be able to GOTO another page from inside a tab open script. Say I have a program that runs from the TAB open script. WHen you end the program I would llike it to PUSH control back to the main page instead of it staying on the same TAB page.

Something like the GOTO page# function in MAch3

    rc = scr.SetProperty('MainTabs', 'Current Tab', '1');

already there, just change the tab number and the first field name to what the tabs group is named

WELL THAT WORKS(;-) not exactly as I planned but it still works.  When t script runs it open the program them imidiatly goes to the next screen BUT it does leave teh program window open so that works.

I would have THOUGHT the program running would hold open the tab and then flinish the script AFTER it closed. AND it may be able to but but not with MY programming skills.

NOW how do I stop Mach4 from running all the TAB scripts when MACH4 opens and CLOSES for that matter  ??

Thanks Craig, (;-) TP

Just so it makes more sense here is what I am doing. From inside Mach4 I open an instance of Mill Wizard create the program and exit. You can also do it with Mach4 running Gcode.
