Maybe a table could be created that serves as an index. Oh, sumptin like...

I also visit a forum at fatwallet.com and between the first and second post of each thread is a Summary section that anyone can edit. Does anyone know if TC's forum software has this ability?

I can tell you that is a BIG timesaver because anyone can update that section and you don't have to read the whole thread to find all the relevant posts.

Check out http://www.fatwallet.com/t/18/708724/ for an example. You can also get a free case after rebate at that link

With my suggested table, I was sketching on the back of the napkin, not showing the video.

There would be 500+ entries.

Oh... I forgot to request: can we get a hyperlink to the actual message as another column in the table?

Thanks,

There seems to be no emoticon with a tongue in its cheek.

RC11 is now available.
No new features this time, just some minor improvements with Input and BigMessage.
If everything works fine, this'll be the last RC before release. New features will be added to a later V4.1.

**netdale** · 03/06/2007, 06:20 PM

Ok, I cannot get NLED to work!? This is rather frustrating.

I have RC11 installed, the script installed at "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MortScript\NLED\NLED.mscr". I also have a shortcut in the startup folder. I have Chines and TreoVibe working successfully, so I know it isn't an issue with my installation or setup of MortScript. I even added simple messages inside the NLED script to tell me if is actually running (which it doesn't seem to be doing).

Anyways, ANY advice would be definitely helpful. LEDUp.exe is installed and I can run it (which it doesn't really do much either w/o extensions). I'm running a Cingular 750. I do have a registry hack on the

Code:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders\AutoSnooze\AutoSnoozeMins = 0

so it doesn't send reminders more then once. The script isn't even running so I don't think this is the issue. Thanks guys; MortScript is wonderful.

BTW, my modified version of the script (after the original wasn't working) is/was (and yes, I know its a loop so I would get many many messages if it actually was running...)

Code:

#
# NLED.mscr - Monitors notifications and turns on and off the notification LED accordingly.
#

# check dependencies
If ( NOT FileExists( "\Windows\LEDUp.exe" ) )
   Message ( "Installation of LEDUp.exe is required! Exiting...", "NLED script" )
   Exit
EndIf

# initialize variables
LedOn = FALSE
Notify = FALSE

Message ( "RUNNING NLED", "NLED script" )

# start notification check loop
While ( 1 )

# check the registry for any notifications
   Notify = RegValueExists( "HKLM", "System\State\Shell\Notifications\Active", "CLSID" )

# turn on the led if any notifications are pending. Keep turning on each iteration since
# the OS turns it off whenever there is a new notification.
   If ( Notify )
      RunWait( "\Windows\LEDUp.exe", "0 1" )
      LedOn = TRUE
	
      Message ( "LED ON", "NLED script" )
   EndIf

# turn off the led if no notifications are pending
   If ( LedOn && NOT Notify )
      RunWait( "\Windows\LEDUp.exe", "0 0" )
      LedOn = FALSE

      Message ( "LED OFF", "NLED script" )
   EndIf

# wait 5 seconds
   Sleep( 5000 )

EndWhile

**hannip** · 03/06/2007, 06:34 PM

The first thing I'd check is the shortcut. Have you tried running NLED.mscr directly?

**netdale** · 03/06/2007, 07:13 PM

Yes, and nothing happens. OK; after reboot on an incoming email I get my "NLED ON" and then "NLED OFF" messages, yet no change in the LED. Does the LEDUp work for the 750? Ideas?

On different note, I hate PocketWord for this stuff. What text editors do you use?

Thanks hannip for all your help.
Dale

**hannip** · 03/06/2007, 07:18 PM

So the script is running ok. hmm, go to Start->Programs->Accessories->LEDUp and run Enable Reminder LED. Does your LED starting flashing green?

Yes it works fine on my Cingy 750.

**Rino808** · 03/06/2007, 10:31 PM

i am also running NLED on my 750..and its running very well...but im running one of the first scripts of NLED that came out...so i dont have the options to enable and disable...i like the first one cause i want the led to stay on even if i toggle the vibe switch on...i think nled is disabled if you turn the vibe switch on...correct me if im wrong...if the new version of nled is like the first one with the option to able and disable then i will switch...thanks...

**Slingbox** · 03/07/2007, 01:16 AM

**Rino808** · 03/07/2007, 01:59 AM

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask... feel free to move, delete, whatever...

But how do I get the Input function to display my text correctly even when there's more than 2 lines of text?

The code I'm using is:

Code:

NewLabelLeft=Input("The old left SoftKey label is " & OldLabelLeft & ".^CR^^LF^What do you want the new label to be?^CR^^LF^","Left Softkey",0,0,OldLabelLeft)

I've tried many combinations of the ^CR^ and ^LF^ characters... nothing seems to work for me.

I am running RC11, and I'm attaching a screenshot.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Not sure there's anything you can do about it at this point. The input box doesn't move based on the amount of text, it's always in that position from what I've seen...maybe something Mort can address...

.. I don't think there is a way around this 2-line limit (yet).

Suggest abbreviating... like:

Code:

NewLabelLeft=Input("OldLabel=" & OldLabelLeft & "^CR^^LF^Enter NewLabel...","Left Softkey",0,0,OldLabelLeft)

Also, I just noticed that Mort expanded on the cababilties of this command to accept a default value. Nice... but be wary of "Input" commands that won't work in previous releases.

I really wish Mort would update his versions numbers in his beta releases.

Any idea how to pass a special character like ^NL^ as plain text rather than it interpreting as a new line?

EDIT: Figured it out but it's a little bit of a pain

PlainTextString = "^NL"
PlainTextString = PlainTextString & "^"

Message(PlainTextString)

**Rino808** · 03/09/2007, 04:47 PM

quick question, anyone experiencing your phone getting stuck in sleep mode...i have a 750 and it gets stuck in sleep mode, and the led light blinks faster than normal...it seems like it might have something to do with NLED...it was working fine till i moved NLED to Windows/programs/mortscript....and the only way to wake the phone up is to pull the batt...help please...i originally had NLED in programs/mortsript...thanks in advanced

**jdcochran** · 03/09/2007, 05:27 PM

I've experienced something similar. I usually have to re-boot to get it out of this anomaly. It usually occurs only when I have external power connected and I've done something related to Keylights. I can "fix" it by disabling the keylock and then going to Settings\System\Backlight and fiddling with the settings there.

Hope this helps.
