Re: Macro Messaging and Annunciation For Warnings

As a matter of fact, I would like to use a modal popup message box. That way I can input the desired precision for function calculations. Are there any code snippets/boiler plates out there detailing minimal code for generating modal I/O to a macro.

Thanks,

Regards, bill

Macro Messaging and Annunciation For Warnings

Hello folks, I have a macro that launches from a button on the menu bar(customized), executes a function, then generate a console message/error to the status display in lower left of screen. The problem is that when the button is pressed, the status window is not updated until I quickly move the cur...

Re: Raised expanded metal?

Is this what your asking about! This is a crude construction I hacked together very quickly with lots of errors; but basically one approach. File was too big; here is a smaller piece of the metal.

Re: MACRO:Work Feature 2014_12

Hello Rentlau and others, It looks/works fine; at least the functionallity I checked out in the CHECK Tab! Installation is a snap. "Close BUTTON" is very helpful. So now, I can launch from a menu button, use your Mac(cro) App :lol: , then close it very convenienlty. Would it be too much to...

Re: MACRO:Work Feature 2014_12

Re: MACRO:Work Feature 2014_12

Bonjour Rentlau_64, Great Effort! This MACRO:WorkFeature is "da bomb". If you dont know this expression, it is slang for, how you say (please excuse my French) La Meilleure Macro, No? Not only is it nicely designed, functional, and productive, it provides a great tool for doing ad-hoc meas...

"Save Picture" as a JPEG is Fuzzy!

Exactly what is imaged to a file when I select "Save Picture" as a JPEG format from the Tools menu . Is it the screen bitmap, something on the order of ActiveDocuent.GUI imagemap, or what? JPEGs result in fuzzy images and bitmaps look fine. I prefer jpegs! WF_FOGpeq.jpg VS. WFeat_2.jpg Wha...
