Persisting Issues with copying Conditional Formatting

See https://forum.softmaker.com/viewtopic.php?t=23690

I tried a similar operation where a cell had multiple rules... and when the cell was copied ('completely' with 'Paste' or with 'Paste Special' for only 'Conditional Formatting') the order of the rules was mixed-up.

However, if I select the ...

Re: BasicMaker Editor now has tiny fonts?


Select a functioning printer driver in File | Print. The "Generic / Text only" driver is unusable.

Pretty weird design 'feature' that a Printer setting should affect the User Interface... although, those limited available fonts were definitely a clue.

A drastic solution... but sometimes y'just ...

BasicMaker Editor now has tiny fonts? [SOLVED with Warnings]

Hi, all...

I've just opened BasicMaker to try and deal with some code... and for some reason, the font size in the editor has become minuscule, viz:-
BM-Issue-01.jpg

The File > View > Customize settings haven't been changed, viz:-

BM-Issue-02.jpg

Changing the font values doesn't alter the ...

Why has DateDiff been removed?

Hi, all...

Consider this simple code:

'
' Works Ok in BasicMaker Professional 2021 (rev S1068.1105) 32bit under Windows 8.1 32-bit
' DateDiff is unknown in BasicMaker Professional 2024 (rev S1222.1129) 64bit under Windows 11 64-bit

Dim TheDate As Date ' Declare variables.

Re: Can BM dialogs be made to always appear in front of PM/TM?

Edit: Nope, it doesn't work reliably. Dang.

I've found one workaround... in that if you change the state of the application window before you display the Dialog, the Dialog is displayed in front of the application window. So, some code might be:

' Ensure PlanMaker is running
Set pm ...

Can I determine the filespec of the running script file from within the script?

When running a batch file ( .bat ) in the command prompt ( cmd.exe ) in Windoze, I'm able to determine the filespec of the running batch file, viz:-

e:\tmp>
e:\tmp>cd
E:\tmp

e:\tmp>type test.bat
@echo off
echo filespec: %~dp0%~nx0

e:\tmp>
e:\tmp>test.bat
filespec: E:\tmp\test.bat

e:\tmp>

Can BM dialogs be made to always appear in front of PM/TM?

Hi, again...

I am setting up an application (PlanMaker in this case) using CreateObject() , etc... and I use the methods pm.Visible and pm.Active to ensure the user can see the application. If I then display a dialog, there doesn't seem to be any guarantee that the dialog will be displayed in front ...

How can I display script progress?

Hi, again...

When processing a PlanMaker worksheet that is complex or has many rows/columns to iterate through, the processing can take significant time.

Is there any way that a 'progress' indicator... or some 'messasge' system be used to indicate progress?

MsgBox() and Dialog() both need to be ...

Simple Question: How to locate the last populated cell in a column of a PlanMaker worksheet?

Hi, all... another newbie here (in BasicMaker, anyway)... and I haven't done any VBA-style things in a spreadsheet since the 1990s or something(!)

So, a bit of a simplistic question:

I have a worksheet that has a title row and then some populated rows. I simply want to find the last non-empty row ...
