[size=100]Good day,

For your interest, the entire SAW|SAC Installation|Configuration routine that I employ, consists of a total of 8 procedures.

The most extensive of these procedures is Procedure 7 - which [I]manually [/I]takes approximately 4 hours to complete successfully!

After spending a similar period of time producing the "automation script" for Procedure 7, I am now able to complete the very same procedure [I][B]in under 50 seconds!![/B][/I]

I do believe that it is important to note that much of this script is "portable" - that is, much of the script can be deployed in "other" scripts - making it so that I do not have to "re-invent the wheel"...so-to-speak!

I have one more procedure to complete - and then I will see how long it takes to complete all 8 procedures - which I have never actually determined, but this process involved a period of a full day...maybe even 2!

[size=100]Good day,

Man! This script is working out wonderfully!! Have a look-see...[[url=https://www.sentinelmusicstudios.com/ftp/rml_labs/images/F1_F12_Views.png][color=#800080]Click_Me[/color][/URL]]

[quote="mr_es335"][size=100]Good day,

As I noted, it is now [U][I][B]entirely possible[/B][/I][/U] for you to configure all of your F-Keys programmatically!!! Here is the completed script:

[size=100]If you are at all interested, email me, and I can send you a compiled version for your own perusal.

At present, I am compiling the data for determining precise placement of all of the various views based on default sizings [x [TOP], y [LEFT], h [HEIGHT], w [WIDTH].

Once such data has been determined and then provided, I can then place these views in the workspace at the given co-ordinates.

Interestingly, the script took me about 2 hours to produce, but now that the script is completed, the above [/size][size=100]script [/size][size=100]created the F12 view in under 2 seconds. Thus, 12 views would take a total of 24-30 seconds to complete!

And, by-the-way, we are referring to 0.5 pixel accuracy here!!

[B]Update!![/B]
Completing the "math", I was able to create 9 views [F1] to [F6] , [F10] to [F12] - [U]all without[/U] having to launch SAC - with the entire layout [U]being completed on paper[/U]!!
* PS: I do hope that "ya'all" realize that this script would also work with SAW!!!
[/size][/QUOTE]

Are you speaking via Windows Registry?
Yes I would be interested in the creation process.
Thanks Dell

[size=100]Dave,

You stated, "Sorry to be so dense, Dell. What does programmatically mean...?"

It is not that you are "dense" in any manner whatsoever, Dave. It is simply the fact that I really should have been more explicit!

Firstly, "programmatically" - from the term "programmatic" - simply means, "pertaining to, or of the nature of, a program".

When I am configuring SAC [...or SAW for that matter...], I select-and-drag, the various "views" to their respective locations - indeed as we ALL have done!!

Depending on the monitor's "Display Resolution" - this resolution defines the width and the height [...in pixel, or px...] of what we are able to view on that display resolution at any particular time. The two most common display resolutions at present are 1920 x 1080 and 2560 x 1600. We will focus on the display resolution of 1920 x 1080 for this response - as the display resolution of 1920 x 1080 is the more common display resolution at present.

Employing a display resolution of 1920 x 1080, I

Sorry to be so dense, Dell. What does programmatically mean in this context? What have you achieved here? How has my SAW world been enhanced? :confused:

[size=100]Good day,

I have discovered a way-and-means of being able to programmatically configure F-Key views!

Hhhhmmmm....
