Yes, I agree and I have but when using a simple message box it would be nice for the text to self adjust within the bounds of the box when the text is variable.

It would be nice if when formatting a message/messagemodal there was a way to auto center the text on a line that would adjust automatically within the boundaries of the message if I were to change the width. I find myself readjusting the width at times and then having to go back and change the numb...

guess you can disregard my post...figured it out. Apparently I wasn't properly clearing the variables in all parts of my script..it's now working fine.

Went back and cleaned up the code a bit and then modified the original post. For troubleshooting I put mdl statements in working copy everywhere and this is what I find.... I start the program and scan this string gm_2&4s.tld,11013202266,1,1,label is produced. At the end of the shipping label routin...

I have a labeling program on 20+ pc's throughout the plant that the supervisors want to limit the users ability to modify the data entered into it. So I put together a frontend that has one input screen, the user scans a 2d barcode and the frontend has all of the necessary data to produce a label. T...

I've been using this product for some time and I don't know what I'd do without it. Usually I've written compiled macros that provide data input to some programs screen. I usually write the code in the usual fashion Send>data wait>1 Press Enter Send>data2 wait>1 Press Enter etc My coworker showed me...

I have a program that will be installed on 22 pc's...many are pretty slow. The user scans a barcode that will become the basis for several screen inputs. Found that since the pc's don't run the same the wait commands must be tailored to each pc...a pain if they're compiled. So I brought the wait's a...

Found that I have to edit the registry directly to move the QuickButtons location from the Bottom to the Top but have not figured out how to move to either the Left or Right side. When I put Right in the registry it changes the Edge to Bottom. Can the program use either the left or right sides? It w...

Have used macro scheduler for a while and love it's capabilities but couldn't a simple DOS sort have done the same thing just as effieciently?

I'm trying to develop a macro that will take input from a 2d barcode scan via a usb wedge barcode scanner and then determine if the data is formatted correctly. The problem I'm having with it is that the barcode uses non-standard ASCII characters, ie asc 27, 29 and 30 and this seems to play havoc wi...

Have been working with macro scheduler on and off for about 2 years and know that whenever I'm stumped the board is the place to go. I really appreciate the help I receive from all !!!

Modified your code so that it automatically writes to file each time after the 5th number is entered. You're right about the enter from the scanner but this can be turned off in the scanner...I turned it on to run the code I had written. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the input, my original post had a non-modal dialog input that would capture the input from the scanner and immediately write it to file then return to the beginning of the script...continuous loop. This does a good job of capturing the scan but that's not my issue. I intend for this progr...

Sorry, am not understanding what this will do for me. I copied and pasted this into a temp script and ran it. Any numeric key pressed I get popup with multiples of the key pressed..any other key no action.
