Brad,

I am a veteran DNS user who is trying to get up to speed with WSR.  I'm trying to create the macros I use in DNS that are not available by default in WSR.  I bought your book to help me get up to speed on macro programming.  I found it a good read.  Well worth the money.

I'm currently working on my window manipulation macros.  Stuff like move/expand/shrink window <direction> <1to500>.  I have the move/expand window macros finished.  I'm having trouble with the shrink window macro.  Basically I'm trying to use a script block to determine which side of the window to set so I can shrink it.  I've tried several things and the following code is my latest revision.  There are no compile errors.  However, it just doesn't seem to work.  Have any suggestions?

<speechMacros>
    <command>
        <listenFor>shrink window [Direction] [1to500]</listenFor>
        <script language='VBScript'>
            <![CDATA[
                Dim strDirection
                if "{[Direction]}" = "up" then
                    strDirection = "{down}"
                elseif "{[Direction]}" = "down" then
                    strDirection = "{up}"
                elseif "{[Direction]}" = "left" then
                    strDirection = "{right}"
                elseif "{[Direction]}" = "right" then
                    strDirection = "{left}"
                else
                    strDirection = "{esc}"
                end if
            ]]>
        </script>
        <!-- set the window for sizing -->
        <sendKeys>{{alt}}{u+0020}s</sendKeys>
        <waitFor seconds=".25"/>
        <!-- set the window side for shrinking -->
        <sendKeys times="1">{[strDirection]}{5 wait}</sendKeys>
        <!-- for my computer I had to add the 5 ms delay otherwise the keys were missed -->
        <sendKeys times="{[1to500]}">{[Direction.Keys]}{5 wait}</sendKeys>
        <sendKeys>{enter}</sendKeys>
    </command>

    <listenForList name="Direction" propname="Keys">
        <item propval="{up}">up</item>
        <item propval="{down}">down</item>
        <item propval="{left}">left</item>
        <item propval="{right}">right</item>
    </listenForList>
</speechMacros>

Thanks...

I posted the wrong revision of the script.  What I posted earlier definitely won't work.  However, what's below I believe should work.  Sorry for the confusion.

<speechMacros>
    <command>
        <listenFor>shrink window [WindowSide] [1to500]</listenFor>
        <script language="VBScript">
            <![CDATA[
                Dim strWindowSide
                if "{[WindowSide]}" = "top" then
                    strWindowSide = "{up}"
                elseif "{[WindowSide]}" = "bottom" then
                    strWindowSide = "{down}"
                elseif "{[WindowSide]}" = "left" then
                    strWindowSide = "{left}"
                elseif "{[WindowSide]}" = "right" then
                    strWindowSide = "{right}"
                else
                    strWindowSide = "{esc}"
                end if
            ]]>
        </script>
        <!-- set the window for sizing -->
        <sendKeys>{{alt}}{u+0020}s</sendKeys>
        <waitFor seconds=".25"/>
        <!-- set the window side for shrinking -->
        <sendKeys times="1">{[strWindowSide]}{5 wait}</sendKeys>
        <!-- for my computer I had to add the 5 ms delay otherwise the keys were missed -->
        <sendKeys times="{[1to500]}">{[WindowSide.Keys]}{5 wait}</sendKeys>
        <sendKeys>{enter}</sendKeys>
    </command>

    <listenForList name="WindowSide" propname="Keys">
        <item propval="{down}">top</item>
        <item propval="{up}">bottom</item>
        <item propval="{right}">left</item>
        <item propval="{left}">right</item>
    </listenForList>
   
    <numbers name="1to500" start="1" stop="500"/>
</speechMacros>

Hi cactustweeter,

Glad the User's Guide has helped you with WSR Macros...

Here's the code I use for resizing windows, maybe it will help or at least give you some ideas.  Let me know if you have any questions...

Brad

'*********
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<!--
ResizeWindow - allows resizing of active window (non-maximized) by using ALT-SPACE-S

Syntax: "resize window [SideDirection] [Amount]"

        [SideDirection] = top up || top down || bottom up || bottom down || left in || left out || right in || right out
        [Amount] = 1 to 100

        "resize window much smaller"
        "resize window smaller"
        "resize window larger"
        "resize window much larger"

Thanks Brad.  Your script showed me this was what I was missing:

                ' set named state so we can access it outside VBScript
                '
                NamedStates.SetNamedStateValue "strWindowSide", strWindowSide

Great.  I also uploaded the macro here:
