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>
        
        <sendKeys>{{alt}}{u+0020}s</sendKeys>
        <waitFor seconds=".25"/>
        
        <sendKeys times="1">{[strDirection]}{5 wait}</sendKeys>
        
        <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>
        
        <sendKeys>{{alt}}{u+0020}s</sendKeys>
        <waitFor seconds=".25"/>
        
        <sendKeys times="1">{[strWindowSide]}{5 wait}</sendKeys>
        
        <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>

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...

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:
