KurtKubic Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I'm working a lot with a specific application and have designed som macros to use with it. I need to turn the macro on and off all the time and therefor I have created another macro to do this! This is working fine! But I need some kind of indication on the status of the macro - if it is turned on or off. One possibility I thought off was to change the color of the caption-bar of the application! Is this possible? Green if enabled - red if not! Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 How about using the If Macro Enabled and If Macro Disabled commands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtKubic Posted November 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Thanks for your answer! I am using these commands! The issue is to find a way to show if the macro is enabled or not! How can I do that? In other words: I need to make a visible change/setting to the application - something that "lasts" after the macro that makes the change has terminated. I cant have a macro running all the time, because I need to run other macros! I hope it is somewhat understandable! Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 I once created a pair of 'popup menu' macros, each with a different icon and placed them in the System Tray. Other macros enabled one of the macros at a time. This gave me an indication in the system tray when specific things were enabled or disabled. You could use this technique by enabling and disabling two (or more) macros at a time. I know this does not display the status "in the application" but it worked for me. Here is a refinement of this idea: Create two popup menu macros and set the 'Icons Only' option property dialog. Adjust the X, Y coordinates to position the popup menu where you want it. Make sure each popup menu has a unique icon. Then, enable and disable the icons as needed. I have not tested this second approach but it seems like it should work.

KurtKubic Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Oh - its been a while - i'm sorry! I didn't quite understand what you meant about the popups, so I programmed to very small applications in delphi (with window-sizes only like 1 times 4 centimeters) and I use these as indicators of the state my macro is in! Thanks for your help! Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
