Hide Scheduler Script June 10,1993 The following script allows you to overcome the fact that the Scheduler Icon cannot be hidden. ;First start the scheduler Exec "WNSD" Attach "WNSD_Scheduler1" ;Make it an icon, then move it off the screen Minimize "WNSD_Scheduler1" Move To 800,800 ;Now attach the script run icon itself, and also move it away Attach "WNSRUN_D:\CPS\DATA\HIDESD.RUN1" Move To 840,840 ; Define a hot key (in this case using CTL ALT S) to ; bring the scheduler icon back anytime we want it Define Keyboard Event RestoreScheduler "{Ctrl {Alt s}}" Throwaway In Any Window EndDef ;Wait for the hot key combination, then bring the scheduler icon back Wait until RestoreScheduler Attach "WNSD_Scheduler1" Move To 10,420 First, start the script tools, and paste the above script. Unless you need modifications (see description below), just give it the name, HIDESD, and select Test Run. This will create the HIDESD.RUN file. Now replace the WNSD (scheduler) icon in your startup folder with this script. Easiest way is to just drag the file out of the File Manager (it will be in your \CPS\DATA sub directory) to your desktop, and then drag into the startup folder. Thereafter, when you start PCT4W, the script will execute, load the scheduler, and then move both the scheduler icon and its own icon off the screen. If you later need to work with the scheduler, just enter the hot key CTL ALT S, and the minimized icon will come back into view. If you forget the hot key, or anything happens that seems to prevent you from getting the scheduler back, you can always open the task manager (just double click somewhere on the desktop), and select TILE... that will bring the scheduler back. POSSIBLE ALTERATIONS NEEDED: If you are running at a higer video resolution than 800 x 600, you should modify the two Move To's to a larger number so that the icons are actually moved off your screen. You also may wish to change the location for the return move of the icon to another location. That's entirely your choice. Remember that 0,0 is the upper left top corner. Also, note the line Attach "WNSRUN_D:\CPS\DATA\HIDESD.RUN1" You need the full path to where the \CPS\DATA subdirectory where the actual HIDESD.RUN file is located. Mine is on my D: drive, yours may be somewhere else, so that line also should be changed if necessary. If you are already using the CTL ALT S hot key combination, you will need to assign a different combination. Finally, you should note that once you 'bring the scheduler' back, the script terminates. If you, for example, bring the scheduler back and schedule a new event, rather than minimizing it when you are ready, close the scheduler. Then simply run the script again, this will start the process over again. K.Jeffrey Carr CISID 76226,1045
