[reviewed as not possible] Position Ask and Input dialogs

[Grovkillen]

Am I missing something obvious or is it not possible to position the Ask and Input dialogs like we can do with the Message(Modal) dialogs?

Also, is it possible to have the Input prompt text in the title instead of the "Macro Scheduler Input" text? I would like to be able to manipulate the Input a little more than what's currently possible. Set using INPUT_TITLE=... is enough for me.

And, the Ask input would be great if we could use more icons (at least a red error icon). A fixed set of icons are enough and being able to set them using ASK_ICON=1..N or similar.

These dialogs are system dialogs so there is no way to customise them the way you suggest. Instead you would need to create your own dialogs with the custom dialog designer.

All right, it was just a suggestion. I've already been creating my own dialogs and just thought the standard dialogs was possible to manipulate a bit. Let's mark this one as not possible.

Some quick thoughts.

Have you ever tried Rain's LibFunc message builder for "Ask" message replacement?

Don't have anything except Dialogs for "Input" replacement.



Not ideal but here's a way to move modal messages. Would have to be altered to work for compiled. Also will fail as posted if you're working from Windows Explorer rather than from Macro Scheduler Menu.

Code: Select all

DeleteFile>%temp_dir%MoveIt.scp
LabelToVar>MoveMessage2,vMoveIt
WriteLn>%temp_dir%MoveIt.scp,wres,vMoveit
RunProgram>%Command_Line% %temp_dir%MoveIt.scp

Wait>1

Ask>Have you thought it through?,r

//LibFunc>user32,MessageBoxA,r,0,Have you thought it through?,Are You Sure?,547
IF>r=1,Ok
IF>r=2,Cancel
IF>r=3,Abort
IF>r=4,Retry
IF>r=5,Ignore
IF>r=6,Yes
IF>r=7,No
IF>r=10,Try Again
IF>r=11,Continue

SRT>Cancel
END>Cancel

SRT>Yes
END>Yes

SRT>No
END>No

I got my own library made for these kinds of input. I just thought I'd add some suggestions to any future update
