Andy Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 I have a one line macro that displays a Text Box that says: You are online! so I don't forget (I have a dial up connection). It's activated by the "Connecting..." window. The problem is that while the Text Box is displayed, no other macro can run. Is there a way to leave the Text Box displayed after the macro has terminated? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 I don't think you can ... but you could create a macro to launch a small program that will display a dialog box : this macro will be activated by the "Connecting..." window and then stop something like that : Program Launch: "Online.exe" (ok it's probably not the prettiest program you've ever seen but it's late ) Online.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 > (ok it's probably not the prettiest program you've ever seen but > it's late ) But it gets the job done Nicolas, thanks! Of course, I wanted the dialog box in the upper left, and a little wider, so I added a couple of lines to the macro. I have multiple desktops, which I switch to by using mouse click activated macros. So I added an IF ONLINE command to those macros, followed by the commands to call online.exe. Now I have my reminder no matter which desktop I'm using.

Nicolas Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 my pleasure ... if you want a bigger window with a huge "warning" bitmap in it, I can take a few minutes to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Nicolas, > if you want a bigger window with a huge "warning" bitmap in it, I > can take a few minutes to do it The size is fine, but if it really would only take a few minutes, could you make the box red or orange? This is an extremely low priority request! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
