Message box to use with CMM Program

No, No...what i meant was....I can't change the timer from 10 seconds to like 3 or 5 seconds. Also, what is wrong with this line?

EXTERNALCOMMAND/NO_DISPLAY, NO_WAIT ; C:\PCDMIS3.7MR3\PICMSG.EXE |T POSITION AS SEEN IN PIC. |P C:\pcdmis3.7mr3\Images\FO5703012_1.JPG |S03 |B0|F16

Doesnt look like anything is wrong with it... why, what happens when you use it? Is the one where the timer doesnt work?

Get the lastest version. There was an earlier version that had defaulted to 10 seconds but was fixed.

Also, I dont know if PCDMIS has issues with long command lines like that so that is one reason that I added the ability to reference an external file so that you can make up instructions for each part program and edit it without going into the program itself.

So for you example, use notepad and create a file called "FO5703012_1.ini" that is saved in C:\setups\ (Just an example)

Put the following text in the file.
---------------------------------------------------------
[Parameters]
A=CENTER
B=0
C=BLUE
F=16
P=C:\pcdmis3.7mr3\Images\FO5703012_1.JPG
S=3
T=POSITION AS SEEN IN PIC
W=
---------------------------------------------------

Then reference your file like this:


NOTE: The backslashes in the path for the INI file are reversed so that PCDMIS doesnt try to process it.

Another thing, it might be easier to create a folder just for setups and instructions. This would help to keep paths shorter and simpler. This is just an example.

C:\Setup\
Put the picmsg.exe file in here

C:\Setup\Images\
Put your image files in here

C:\Setup\Sounds\
Put your sound files here

C:\Setup\INI\
Put your instruction files here

If you create a folder for each part program, then it might be easier to put all the related files in that folder instead. There are many ways to do this.
