Hi Again,
I guess the question to ask is how to add the scrollbar to this program to
allow off screen display, where focus is?
Lloyd had mentioned about the UI screen and administrator privileges and I
am aware of that after reading how to get around it yesterday. But the program
was originally written for an XP user and at least for Vista and Windows 7
users you will get an immediate listing of installed files and such. Have not
done anything yet concerning administrator rights but probably will do that,
mostly for a learning tool.
Any hints on how to add the scroobar would be helpful.
Sincerely
Bruce

Hi Again,
To further clarify this issue with scrolling is that if you use the
cursor keys your fine, but when going to the mouse keys the screen was not
updated to the present position of the cursor key.
I attempted to force the issue when the keyup event was triggered and
placed the scrollto command in the object being focused on. It did not scroll
the screen according to the WE Mouse keys. There is a note saying it may
scroll, but no guarantee.
Now, as a thought, should I also refresh the screen to accomplish this
issue? Is there already a hotkey that can do this automatically?
I am now ready to make my app available for looking at the system
registry. It will list all programs installed and at the moment going to split
the list to standard programs, windows Updates and other Window programs. These
categories will be the top level of a tree. Opening up the tree for the list of
programs from there, then any info on that program will be the third level.
Then if you wish to uninstall you tab to the next screen of buttons to
select Uninstall, or exit the program.
Since I do not test updates and such, it should work but it is a risk
doing so for anyone having that option.
Also, such things as virus protection programs they are prevented from
installing directly and most likely will have to be done under protected mode.
So, if that is the case, does Windoweyes work in protected mode?
Sincerely
Bruce

Hi Aaron,
Yes as I said off list I got them all working, the program path string
had the problems.
Now, when having a large tree I can not get it to scroll to the item
off screen. I attempted to use the ScrollTo on the item and it did not scroll
the screen.
Is there something needed in the .xml file to cause this to work?
I could not find examples nor any command other than the ScrollTo and
it does not work. The expand=True does but not the ScrollTo

There are various ways to get the path of an executable. What are you
attempting to obtain the path of, exactly?

Hi!
Apparently there is nothing wrong, everything works but the system
registry is not releasing a correct path to the file to uninstall. It would
appear that the thing found under the uninstall string is a symbolic path/name
and has extra characters in it to prevent uninstalling of a program.
Now, how to get the actual path/filename as does the add/remove
program does. Anyone attempt this?
It always fails when using the path given. I can extract off the
file name using the file object, but the path I can not. So will have to seek
out the command to do that, which the file object does not have. For the
absolute path is the GW Micro folder...

How do you change the working directory inside the
WE scripting language?
The error bad path name or volume label keeps coming up when
attempting to get out of the GW Micro folder in the program files folder.
Need to change the directory to run another program with all it's
path files reside in and it is not allowing me to change to that directory
Is this possibly an environment issue?
