TsunamiZ Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Is there a way to disable 'macro abort' popup message? Would be helpful when aborting macros for games / fullscreen applications, because that message causes them minimize [which is inconvenient]. Thanks.

kevin Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Download TweakME3 from the More Macro Express Downloads page and run it. TweakME3 allows you to disable the Macro Aborted message for the Macro Stop command, for the Abort Macro HotKey and/or for the Right-Click Abort Macro mouse click. More information about the features that can be adjusted via TweakME3 can be found on the Advanced Options web page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TsunamiZ Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Thanks! Is there also a way to play a specified sound when the macro is aborted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Is there also a way to play a specified sound when the macro is aborted? When a macro is aborted the 'Windows Asterisk' sound as defined in Windows is played. To change this, open the Control Panel (in Windows), choose 'Sounds and Audio Devices' and change the sound assigned to Asterisk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TsunamiZ Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 That sound plays if the abort message pops up. But no sound plays if the abort message is disabled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Thats right. The sound is part of the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TsunamiZ Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 So is there a way to make aborting with CTRL+PAUSE play a custom sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Whenever the Abort message is displayed it sends a message to Windows to play the System Asterisk sound. So if you change that sound in the control panel it will change what is played. There is no other way to play a specific sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin, I think what he is asking is if there is a way to play the sound on abort while the abort message is disabled (with Tweakme). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yeah, is there a way? I don't believe there is because the sound is part of the message. No message ... no sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TsunamiZ Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Then is there a macro command that can be added to a specific macro to play a sound when CTRL+PAUSE is pressed to stop the macro? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I think it has been made very clear. No message, no sound. Normally, if you are running a macro you can play a sound. But if you are stopping a macro, no sound will play. But ... here is possible solution. Create a scheduled macro that runs every second or so. Add a command to the macro to play a wav file. Follow the Sound Wave command with a Macro Disable command and disable this sound macro. When you are finished, disable the macro from within Macro Explorer. In your other macro you are running, near the top, enable the sound macro using the Macro Enable command. At the bottom of the macro disable the sound macro using the Macro Disable command. What will happen is this: - Your main macro runs. - The Scheduled macro is enabled but it won't run until the main macro stops. - If you terminate it for any reason, the Scheduled macro will run and make a sound. - If the main macro finishes correctly, then the Scheduled sound macro will not run. No, you cannot tell what caused the macro to stop so you cannot have different sounds for the HotKey vs mouse click to stop the macro.

TsunamiZ Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 That makes sense. So there is no easier way? Such as making a sound play when the key combo of "CTRL+PAUSE" is detected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
