Re: All in one I.T. Tech software.

For the beta testers.

Can someone confirm this button text fault.

[ver 1.1.2.57]
[Button text fault]
If changing the button attributes to colour or bigger than the button field
the button text becomes blank ?
I've seen it on win8.1 so far.

[Solution]
Reset the button text to normal size an or no bold font.
The button name edit box inside the Key Programming popup menu enlarges oversize for some reason.

Is every one content with the iTToolbox GUI (Graphic User Interface ) overall layout so far?
Is there anything in the over all interface you would prefer to see different ?
Example:
I found I'm running out of keyboard buttons with the PRINTER and MY FAV's tool tray layout.
I thought about adding a keyboard scroll or popup function to allow more keys/button functions to scroll into view,but this may also inhibit user functions on smaller Laptop and Win-Tablet screens.

Is programming of your own button hint/help text enough information when shown down on the status bar, or would people prefer the button help text to popup an outline/callout style menu ?

If Tech's would like some personal 101 training on the iTToolbox App only, then feel free to PM or email me.
Please be advised I do not have the time to allocate personalise training on how to use any other 3rd party software applications.

If you would like to see change or updates to the iTToolbox software, please add your comments on the forum or PM, while we're still in the software design phase.

How to program a button function to turn your USB WiFi or fixed WiFi On or Off.

For those quick on the go who use a USB WiFi or similar.
The following allows you to connect or disconnect quickly to any WiFi network.
Just add the network <SSID name> where shown; add your <WiFi Lan> name as shown on your system. Don't forget to add quotes around names with spaces eg. "WiFi 2".


[Turn WiFi On]

command	cmd.exe
parameter	/c netsh wlan connect name=<SSID here> interface=<WiFi Lan ?>

[Turn WiFi OFF]

command	cmd.exe
parameter	/c netsh wlan disconnect name=<SSID here> interface=<WiFi Lan ?>

A working button connection example :
cmd.exe /c netsh wlan connect name=MATRIX interface="WiFi 2"


I have the above two button functions are programmed in the iTToobox using two Macro buttons in MY FAV's tool tray.

Re: All in one I.T. Tech software.

How to program a button to shut down your Win8.1 Service Tech laptop or PC really quick.
Mainly for those of us Techo's who are on the run.

The following button will shut down your PC in /t = 1 second.
Before Windows exits it will display the message /c = "I'm outa here...."
All programs will be forced closed, make sure your data is saved first.

command	cmd.exe[/:t]
parameter	/k shutdown /s /t 1 /c "I'm outa here...."

A working example:
cmd.exe [/:t] /k shutdown /s /t 1 /c "I'm outa here."

I've placed the above programmed button in MY FAV'S macro button under the WiFi on/off buttons.

The current layout is good for me as I can access the other functions at the bottom of the window. Although the scroll bar would allow more buttons.
I am still prevented from using the buttons because of the date format issue. But no big deal, for what it is worth I'd prefer to see you work on the base functionality of this and then if time permits see if there is something to be done about that. I am working with the Editor to see what I can do with that, probably not as much as I should but I am working with that. And that's good enough for me for now.
For Petes's sake, I'm using Windows 10. You'd think by now Windows could interpret international date formats. Oh well.

You are saying that you cannot click on any of the buttons at all, nothing happens is that correct ?

Is this the same issue from your screen shot on a previous thread :"
The menu displays "30-7-2015 is not a valid date ".

Set the assistance mode to "USER" and click on any keyboard button or O/S button in the top Right corner.
Is there an error code on the display or menu code example. "151-- Error : Date format is incorrect".
There might be a conflict with the toolbox's from the older version 1.1.1.56. The toolbox date setting may have timed out. I'm not quite sure...
All of the POC toolbox files are set to time out around the 1-4-16 next year. 12 months from the POC distribution date. The reason for that is I don't want older versions of software floating around causing people confusion or conflicts with newer versions.

Can you send me a screen shot of the date error that comes up on the screen. Email me private or post it to the forum, either or. Click on HELP|ABOUT for more info.

As a quick test can you go into WIN10 system settings and temporally change the date format to
dd/mm/yyyy. Then I'll will know for sure it's a system format function I'm looking for.

thanks...

Copy to Print software application.

Copy to Printer - Software Informer. An utility that will send any file directly to any printer Windows knows of.

I thought I would share the above small application from CWP. Here's kindly shared the above link to a copy-to-print program from another forum post and thread. If you download and install the above application you can make use
of its niffy command line function by programming the button set below.

The program button set will allow you to select multiple printing files from an output file dialog[f:0] before sending them to directly CopyToPrint.exe. CopyToprint will display all the selected files. From there you can select which printer to send the file to directly printing each one without any other application.

Example button :[Depends on install directory]

command	d:\ittbox\app\c2p\copytoprint.exe
parameter	/w [f:0]

N.B
I haven't finish testing the above Copy To Print application for platform independence. It may not work fully from a USB stick.

[ Ver 1.1.2.57 Bug update]
If the Job editor "timer" is disabled as default in the config.cfg tabsheet/ file.
When you exit an enter to the Job editor tabsheet with no timer active the Job editor will delete everything you placed in the Job edit fields.
The program assumes the Job timer is active else it clears all data fields an restores the default info-screen to the editor fields.

[Solution]
1. Leave the Job-timer enabled.
2. Save all data before you exit the Job-editor tab screen.
3. Avoid using token [j:0] on the command line to turn off Job Timer.

[Programmatic error: Job Editor]
If saving a Editor to a *.Job file please use the "Save" button on the Job-editor tabsheet screen. Do Not use the File|Save As menu at the top of the program. The menu bar at the top of the program saves all other files, it doesn't save individual *.job files.

If Opening a *.Job file please use the Open or Template button on the Editor tabsheet screen. The File|Open functions opens *.box files only.

Re: All in one I.T. Tech software.

[Ver 1.1.2.57 Job Editor]

If you press the Client button in the Job Editor tabsheet you can build a personal contacts or html bookmarks *.Job file.
Press the Client button then press "Ctrl-Del" to remove any unwanted fields. Save the form fields as contacts.job.

Example Bookmarks.job :

Contact	Copytechnet
Address	http://www.copytechnet.com
Contact	Manuals
Address	http://lotsa_manuals.com

N.B The current version of software(ver 1.1.2.57) doesn't recognise hyperlinks.
Something for later versions.

I'm back in the computer man-cave (missus is peived), I should have a round of software bugs sorted out an a version update to follow up with.
Any body got any improvement,recommendations or suggestions while I'm in programming mode ? Don't leave it too long my enthusiasm is dwindling.....

Re: All in one I.T. Tech software.

Hi there, had a little look at your software today. I couldn't get it to work at first, but then realised I had spaces in the working directory and removing them fixed the errors. Don't know if this has been mentioned so sorry if it has. Looks very useful, especially for our new engineers. Thanks for releasing!

Re: All in one I.T. Tech software.

[ver 1.1.2.57 Bug fix progress]
I'm still plodding away pounding at the keyboard .....
I should have a version update in a week or two, or three... or four.

I'm off on a programming tangent at the moment.
One of the bugs in ver 1.1.2.57 was a major fix. I had to rebuild the entire main toolbox file structure.Rebuilding the entire file structure meant that all current versions of toolbox files will no longer work.

Soooo..... I now have to build a toolbox file repair app/patch that will allow people to use their current toolbox data with the next version of iTToolbox.exe. Which sux... I know.....

The programming tangent started off with building a simple service pack repair app, but it end up turning into full GUI toolbox file custom editor instead..... bugger...
