Quick feedback:

"Try adding the full path to the run line:"
Did not work, same error.

However,
Me_again's suggestion
Change Directory>
worked.

So simple! (I didn't even know "Change Directory>" was there...)

Thanks again to all!

Thanks for quick reply. Tried, MacSch generates the following error: "Error executing Utility.exe (2:The system cannot find the file specified)". I stepped through lines and see that in system variable CWD, path was set correctly. However, the run command did not seem to utilize the path contained i...

Hi, I am trying to run a quirky utility that will only start "when started from its own directory". (I subsittuted actual name of directories with yyy and xxx) The complete path is: C:\Program Files\yyy\xxx\Utility.exe If I Run>C:\Program Files\yyy\xxx\Utility.exe the program replies with an error b...

That was easy, and it works!
Thanks a bunch!

Hello, I am on a quest to eliminate unnecessary mouse clicks with the use of Mac Sch (clicks that repeat tens of thousands of times per year...). In this case, I am replacing the "stock" INPUT> box with a dialog. The INPUT> command is great, but I have not figured out how to make it STAYONTOP or pos...

I forgot a bit that is outside SRT>dialog_message_display If my SRT call has only 1 or 2 lines, like GoSub>dialog_message_display,My message line 1 the SRT will get confused and see a non-existent Var_2 like: "dialog_message_display_Var_2" So at the beginning I store the literal name like: Let>liter...

Hi jpuziano, Happy to report that the display dialog stays-on-top... even after hitting Windows Key + D THIS IS THE DISPLAY SCRIPT rem Provides persistent display //Esc=VK27 OnEvent>KEY_DOWN,VK27,8,quit rem Name of the main program this is providing display for Let>proc_to_monitor=MAIN_PROGRAM.exe r...

Eureka! I figured out how to do what I want. The reason for not being able to have the dialogs persist On Top is because of all the "stuff" the script has to do. I think every time I do a Focus operation, the dialog is covered. The macro is too complex to keep watching for when the dialog will dissa...

Coming back to this topic: Although I understand the example provided, which works in a very fast 0.01 sec. loop that keeps dieplaying the dialog, I am not able to understand what exactly makes the dialog to persist On Top. In my application, Mas Sch is performing a complex script, that involves loo...

Thanks for taking the time to read and responding. As you took the time to reply, here's some info about batch/drive suggestions: Batch won't do. This is a single CD printer. I create CD label (automate certain functions with Mac Sch), print CD on the CD that was burnt with matching content, while C...

Here's one more challenge: I have a printer where the printer driver opens a window (window title is "Xi440 CD/DVD Printer") approx 27 seconds after sending a job to print and holds focus onto itself until sec. 31. The window is not visible, it shows as a minimized window on the Taskbar. Even though...

Thanks JRL!

I went over sample line by line and understand how it works. It does EXACTLY what I have been looking for!

Thanks a bunch!

If this was already covered, I apologize. I ran a search and could not find it. Would it be possible to have a small Message> box (or another similar small window) that I can place ON TOP (will not be covered by other windows), in an unused (or seldomly used) portion of the screen, that will update ...

Hi JP, You're right, good suggestion, that's how I learned most of the stuff I know today. I'll keep at it. I was just thinking on the lines of the well known expression "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing". There is stuff I don't even know that I don't know......, that's the stuff I want to le...

I do not have any formal training in programming. From the days of Basic it's always been the same for me: hit the manual + computer, try this, try that. Need something done? Research it, get it done. Done same with Macro Scheduler. After a hiatus (from v. 7.4) I've just upgraded to 13.x and I am in...
