hello all ,
It is cold in Johannesburg at the moment must be at least 18 degrees with a midday high of 24 to 26. Brrrrrr
Concurrently with many other projects i am trying to learn VBA.
Mach scripts are written in VB.
are there many significant differences?
Like what does doOEMbutton(169) translate to in plain english
Best regards

Hi,
do yourself a favor, learn Lua instead.

Hi Fred,

As Craig suggests best to learn Lua and look toward the future.

The Mach3 scripts are written in Cypress Enable which is a subset of Visual Basic. It is almost identical to VB but, as you are aware, there are some important differences.

DoOemButton(169) is the equivalent of pressing an on-screen button which will close the current file.

You will find the OemButton codes and Cypress Enable documentation in the Members Documents section of the forum.

Tweakie.

Fred_evans:
