Does anyone have a subroutine to convert a pixel color to a one of 256 colors? My current product uses image recognition by examining pixel colors at certain locations. WHITE has always been WHITE up through 32-bit displays. But now my new windows 7 64-bit computer returns multiple values over a scr...

Thanks, JRL, for your suggestions. I had overlooked the APP_TITLE variable that changes the message box titles on compiled programs from "MACRO SCHEDULER" to whatever I need. Very simple solution. One thing that I noticed about using DIALOGs instead of Message routines, is that dialogs greatly reduc...

Need some advice on this one.... I like the ease of using the Messsage command, but need to change the title of the window to my own title instead of Macro Scheduler. Is there a way to do this? I need to have the functionality of the STAYONTOP feature of the built in message command. When I try to c...

Two questions 1. Can anyone recommend a good book/resource with examples of Visual Basic API function calls? Good examples are the fastest way to learn. 2. I'm using the Macro Scheduler "PlayWav" function to send an audible alert in the program, but PlayWav waits for the .wav file to execute complet...

I just experienced a similar problem after upgrading from 8.03 to 8.1 ... No matter how many existing macros I selected to import, the answer was always "Imported 0 macros" During the previous install, I had selected "Minimum Installation"... and that must be where the bug is that causes this proble...

Well, misleading initially to ME (I'm slow). The documentation for GetCursorPos never mentons the word MOUSE. So to me, there is a distinction... When using my word processor, the "cursor" is where the next character that I type will appear. The mouse position could be anywhere on the page. If the H...

Here's an easy trick I do to suspend the program.... I put a "Move mouse here to PAUSE" dialog (or MSG box) at the bottom of the screen. Then I simply check the mouse coordinates periodically within the program. If the GetCursorPos>X,Y coordinates fall within my dialog box... I display another non-m...

Thanks again for a great product and, more importantly, to your commitment toward continual improvement.

The example I posted represents two completely different IF statements. In my actual program, the similar statements were separated by nearly two hundred lines of code... they weren't "mixed" at all. Additionally, the behavior of the IfFileExists logic varies.... when the file actually does exist, p...

Here is another bug involving IF-ELSE-ENDIF ... this one related to the IfFileExists statement. Try using the Debugger to step through this code: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ label>FindStatus IfFileExists>c:\testfile.txt Let>FileStat=File Exists else Let>FileStat=File Doesn't Exist en...

Hi, Armstrong.... Thanks for the reply regarding If-Else-Endif nesting. Hmmm.... I would consider an "anomoly" a bug. Anyway, it certainly is something that can be worked around by using other logical statements. Regarding Macro Scheduler never crashing, let me explore that one & see if I can give a...

This confirms my original point... the issue is a Bug, not syntax error. As another responder pointed out, program execution correctly advances to the last ELSE statement, but then fails to execute the next line. To add to the seriousness of the problem, Macro Scheduler consistantly CRASHED (froze) ...

If the Editor is exited during a Debug session.... I get a system error of: Access violation adress ####### in module 'sched.exe'. Read address 00000384 Any subsequent attempts to use the Debug feature again gives an error. Macro Scheduler must be terminated and restarted. ...using latest version 7....

I'm using 7.3.06.... but earlier version has this same bug... When nesting IF-ELSE-ENDIF blocks, portions of the logic are skipped.... Example: Let>x=No decision yet If>1=0 Let>x=One doesn't equal one if>2=2 Let>x=Two equals Two else Let>x=Two doesn't equal Two endif else Let>x=One equals One endif ...

Here is an extremely useful script that I use to assist in writing macros... //displays the pixel color value at the mouse pointer & the x,y coordinates label>loop GetCursorPos>x,y GetPixelColor>x,y,pc message>x=%x% y=%y% pixel=%pc% goto>loop This little routine makes programming screen interaction ...
