HTML.vbs

[Code_Breaker]

I have a question about running the HTML.vbs. I did a search, but there were no post.

 

I found where it put the screen capture of the graphic display area and the file extension EMF.

 

But, how do you open it? import it to a Word doc? Presently, I get a a solid black picture when I run the HTML.set file.

 

I have other questions, but this is a start.

 

Thanks

HTML.vbs is a VBS file that essentially does the VBS equivalent of the metafile.dll C-Hook. The C-Hook requires the user to pick directory, while the VBS function can take a filename and directory path as an argument. EMF is the new standard Windows equivalent of the WMF metafile format. Quite big. Should show in Word and IE.

 

Some notes in metafile.doc.

 

Someone beta testing the new HTML setup sheet template was getting black images too. Read metafile.doc - try turning Off OpenGL in Screen Config. The black image points to graphic problems.

Actually, I discovered that it convert enities colors to black. Hence, black on black is black. Be set my screen config to a white graphic background, viola, I get the picture. Except, I wanted it to be a picture of the solid, not wireframe. And, I want my cake and I want to eat it too == I want the solid in color.

 

Can anyone help me on this????????????????

You'll need to do a screen cap on your own then. The metafile.dll functionality is meant to give you black wireframe on a white background regardless of settings. It works as it should except for the black on black results on some computers, based on OpenGL and graphics settings.

Bummer

 

I have to options here:

[*]solid pic - copy to clip board, paste to doc

[*]wire framepic - automatically in HTML.set

I will leave this up to management, unless I can find a way to do it my way

 

Thanks for the help. If I do accomplish my task automatically, I will post my results.

There is a program called snag-it that everyone truned me on to here. I never bought it but I understood someone to say it took scripts very well might take a look through a search and see if you can come across it.

 

Good Luck I just have not had time but when I do one of my first things to do.

You can check out this function in the MC VBS:

 

code:

---

// create a bitmap from the mc9 file

 

Bool DoBitmapfile(

 

String (Input: name of input MC9 File)

 

String (Output: name of output BMP File))
