  1. Here's vba code to run my macro called 'Current': Sub CallMEMacro() Shell ("C:\Program Files\Macro Express3\MeProc.exe /ACurrent") End Sub
  2. I've been remapping my cursor keys like that since the '80s (remember SuperKey?). (Except my "UP" key is Ctrl-i, maybe you meant i instead of u) You can't do what you want in Macro Express. I couldn't live without Macro Express, but also need to have the cursor arrows repeat. So I also use AutoHotkey, which is a very powerful free scripting program, but for me difficult to use except for simple stuff (like arrow key macros). There are also people out there who will write some very complicated code using AutoHotkey, often for free. So I do have a half dozen AutoHotkey utilities but the stuff I write for myself is usually using Macro Express. The AutoHotkey script to do what you want is basically: $^l::Send, {Right} $^j::Send, {Left} $^i::Send, {Up} $^k::Send, {Down} And this is why I no longer bug the Macro Express coders to include a "repeat" capability. By the way, I also use a system level key remapper to put the Control key next to the "a" key, where it was always intended to be!
  3. No, not the generally accepted definition of "virtual desktop program" if you are running a macro program like ME that can only run one macro at a time. The "virtual desktops" you are looking at are essentially the same desktop displayed graphically to be bigger/more than one screen's worth. So if you can't run two ME macros at the same time in one window/desktop, just adding another virtual desktop isn't going to allow you to process a second macro in a different thread - no more than you would be able to run a second macro in a second window on the same desktop. You might look into the virtual machines mentioned earlier, or a macro program that can run more than one macro at a time.
  4. I use ME and Virtual Dimension (virtual desktop utility). I've also used ME with the virtual desktop software that came with Windows XP Powertoys (Desktop Manager). Both work fine with ME. but virtual desktops won't do that since the same instance of ME is running in all the virtual desktops, and you can only run one macro at a time. Virtual machines are something else I think. What were the "virtual desktop freewares" you found?
  5. Glad it helped. Donation Coders is a neat site. I've requested a small utility several times and an hour or two later someone uploaded something for me.
  6. This might work for you - http://www.donationcoder.com/Forums/bb/ind...hp?topic=3097.0
  7. This would probably be easier with a Word Macro. Ask on one of the Word/VBA newsgroups.
  8. Should I assume this can't be done?
  9. I have a desktop icon whose target is: "C:\Program Files\Macro Express3\MeProc.exe" /AMyMacro If I drop a file on this icon, how can I get the file name and path into a variable(s) to be used by MyMacro? TIA, Andy
  10. Utility to disable a window's close button: http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skro...ex.html#NoClose
  11. > There is not, however, a macro command to detect which window is on top. But is there a way to find out whether a window is set to be on top? I too would like a toggle. Presently I have two macros (and two hot-keys), one to set the window to always be on top, the other to cancel that setting.
  12. Jason, He wants a macro to SHOW the Quicklalunch menu, the part that is expose by clicking on the bar with the two little black arrows when you have more icons in the QuickLaunch area than you have room to display. He doesn't want to have to click on the bar to see the menu. Probably wants to display the menu with a hotkeyand then cursor to a selection. TsunamiZ, You could have a macro that does a mouseclick on the bar.
  13. I've been hoping that some kind of repeat capability would be added at some point. I have a few simple macros to assign cursor right, left, up, down, backspace, and delete to other keys, and having them repeat would be most handy. The difficulty has been explained to me, but I think a way around this would be to have a setting for each macro that would, when selected, allow the macro to repeat as long as the key (or keys if you are using a Ctrl or Alt key) is held down. If this setting runs you into trouble on a particular macro, you could unselect it. Andy
  14. >> I am trying to open a document using a template. I don't get a new document based on the template, but instead get the template. Just make a shorcut to the template, no command line switches necessary.
