Hi Rod,
Congratulations, I understand what you are feeling because the Windoweyes
VB platform makes it easy to write useful code and I do mean useful code.
If you wanted to look into some other ideas in using voice codes I had
written 2 dialog boxes, one for each of my games, Trek and Battleship. I also
made my own Include or external file to include script inside both dialogs to
upload stuff for using the Windows SAPI stuff that I made into a class that an
object can be made from.
I have an option in my Cuckoo clock program to also make voice/sound files
which you may also be interested in.
You could download those scripts and study them. At the bottom of each code
in the .vbs file is a procedure for extracting files and making a sub folder as
well if you need to do that in the future. Along with how to run an external
.exe file; which is the games written in Python.
Enjoy the new coding environment for VB is easy to use, at least inside the
GW Micro environment.
sincerely
Bruce

Subject: RodMasterVolumePresetRotator 2.0 Released! :)
Hi everyone!
I would like to let everyone know about a landmark event for me – the
creation of my first app with an actual dialog box, namely,
RodMasterVolumePresetRotator 2.0!
The last dialog box I created was 22 years ago, using WordBasic, which was
part of Microsoft Word 2.0. Back then, I had sight, and I designed a dialog
box an the code for printing odd and even pages of a document because, at that
time, this feature did not come with this version of Word. Anyway, the dialog
box I designed worked great, but, alas, went the way of the dodo bird, since
upgrades made all my work pretty irrelevant. But, it had been fun, and gave me
a boost of confidence.
Well, warp speed 22 years into the future, and with GW Micro’s UI Design app,
and with the wonderful help of Chip Orange and his amazing classes and
examples, I finally got the chance to design another dialog box, learned how to
write a dialog event handler, and put a neat little dialog into one of my apps.
See the app in action yourself by downloading RodMasterVolumePresetRotator 2.0
using AppGet, or use this URL:

I have also updated my RodMasterVolumeControlSuite to version 2.0 to include
the update of RodMasterVolumePresetRotator, and the URL is:

My sincere thanks to GW Micro for their wonderful screen reader, Window-Eyes,
for their essential app designing tools like WE Script Framework and UI Design,
and a heartfelt bear-hug to Chip Orange, who has been a mentor in my quest to
use my PC to its utmost potential as a servant of humankind!
My best to everyone in their personal quests, and have a restful weekend!
Cheers,
Rod Hutton
