Change color based on content of folder?

[mrbosco]

I wanted an indication when the script was running so I added
msg "Script Started";
to the very beginning but instead of popping up a dialog and then running the rest of the script it just shows the whole script and doesn't actually do anything.

I'm a newbie but I thought this should be pretty easy to do.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

You didn't indent your added line correctly (probably without any indentation)...

[mrbosco]

The scripting language relies on indentation?
How should the first line be indented?

[mrbosco]

In a multi-line script all lines apart from the first line have to be indented by at least one space.

Sorry, it never occurred to me that there was an indentation rule.

Is there a way to send a text string to the title bar or caption w/o opening up a text box?

What? You want to modify XY's window title on the fly with an XY script?

[mrbosco]

If it's possible, or some other way to display something without requiring to close a msgbox.

I guess the status command is good enough. Thanks for your help.

Code: Select all

   status "text";

Or if it has to be the title bar...

I've attached a small tool.

It expects two parameters
01. XY's hwnd
02. The new text of the window title

If you don't supply both, it won't do anything!

E.g. invoked via XY scripting:

Code: Select all

    $exe = "D:\XY_Window title changer.exe";
    run """$exe"" ""<hwnd>"" ""The new title of the window""", "%TEMP%";

<hwnd> already contains XY's window handle so you'd only need to change the text for the window...
