Scripted Functions allow you to create anything you can using our built-in scripting namespace (https://www.displayfusion.com/ScriptedFunctions/Help/) and you can also use regular C# code in them as well. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beginners-help-question-editing-scripts/?ID=3ce8eca3-a0cc-4711-a0cf-52f04e25187f#5 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 22:25:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beginners-help-question-editing-scripts/?ID=3ce8eca3-a0cc-4711-a0cf-52f04e25187f#5 DisplayFusion My confusion was between "Custom Functions" and "Scripted Functions"
When I added Move Mouse Pointer in a Circle as a Scripted Function, it worked and
I can return to edit it. If I import it as a Custom Function, the application does not report any error, but I cannot edit it, nor did it work.

So can you compare/contrast a Custom Function vs. a Scripted Function for me? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beginners-help-question-editing-scripts/?ID=3ce8eca3-a0cc-4711-a0cf-52f04e25187f#4 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 20:31:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beginners-help-question-editing-scripts/?ID=3ce8eca3-a0cc-4711-a0cf-52f04e25187f#4 DisplayFusion If you select the "Move Mouse Pointer in Circle" in the list, then click the Edit Function button, that should do it.

You can also double-click the "Move Mouse Pointer in Circle" function to open it's script edit window. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beginners-help-question-editing-scripts/?ID=3ce8eca3-a0cc-4711-a0cf-52f04e25187f#3 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 19:45:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beginners-help-question-editing-scripts/?ID=3ce8eca3-a0cc-4711-a0cf-52f04e25187f#3 DisplayFusion I lost my function when I upgraded. Presently running 9.7.1 ( Beta 4 )
When I open Functions, "Custom Function is a drop down button with only 3 options: Add Custom Function, Export Function, Import Function.

I had the function: Move Mouse Pointer in Circle by Thomas Malloch (BFS)
https://www.displayfusion.com/ScriptedFunctions/View/?ID=23e9ace2-f10e-42ea-ae8b-543270d50cd4

After import, the function shows up under "Custom Functions", but I can only assign a key Combination to it. I can't see where to edit the script code. I know I did this once from the DisplayFusion interface, and not with an external editor.

The rest of the Edit Function dialog has these drop down lists.
Function Actions: drop down list.
Customer Function Actions:
Windows Alignment:
Window Width Change:
Window Height Change:

There is an Edit button, which only changes the Key Combo. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beginners-help-question-editing-scripts/?ID=3ce8eca3-a0cc-4711-a0cf-52f04e25187f#2 Mon, 09 Oct 2017 11:39:00 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beginners-help-question-editing-scripts/?ID=3ce8eca3-a0cc-4711-a0cf-52f04e25187f#2 DisplayFusion Never Mind.

The answer is to look in the Functions tab / Custom Functions and then double-click on your function name. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beginners-help-question-editing-scripts/?ID=3ce8eca3-a0cc-4711-a0cf-52f04e25187f Sat, 07 Oct 2017 21:42:13 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/beginners-help-question-editing-scripts/?ID=3ce8eca3-a0cc-4711-a0cf-52f04e25187f DisplayFusion I bought the Pro/Personal license for the whole package of BF products. This is like my new toy. I am addicted to customizing everything in the universe.

Scripting languages, C# and Visual Basic, no problem. Been writing in those and other languages for years. The thing I cannot figure out is how to get back into an edit session to continue editing an existing script.

Example, I have a function which positions my MS Outlook window where I want it on my LG Ultra Wide monitor. Today I take my laptop out on the patio and the trigger fires. Hmm, bad idea. So, I wrote a script to detect the monitor size using a VB script containing the following in part:

dim monBnds as string
dim isUltraWide as boolean
isUltraWide = False

' get monitor size. if Ultra Wide then customize it
monBnds = BFS.Monitor.GetMonitorBoundsByWindow(windowHandle).ToString

' Test for Ultra Wide resolution
if monBnds = "{X=0,Y=0,Width=3440,Height=1980}" then isUltraWide = True

if isUltraWide then
' do stuff for this monitor
else
' do stuff for Laptop monitor
end if

Love it. It works. Saved it. Now I want to edit it again. I highlight the action, click edit, it pops up a dialog where I can pick the name of my scripted function. I select it and click OK. The dialog closes. Nothing else happens. How on earth do I re-edit my script??

I know this was verbose. I posted the script (from memory) seeking feedback on that while I am at it. But the primary thing I need to know is how to get back into a saved script for edit.

Thanks all. ]]>
