The User Variables are very useful. I have already run out of the custom ones. Would it be possible to have an option, when Editing, to add as many more fields as necessary? Thanks.

We may add few more in one of the next releases. :)

Thanks, Marko! I was proposing that the user can create as many new fields as necessary by clicking for example "Add new user variable field" button (or remove them) when in Edit mode but actually more user variables are available by just writing them in a Auto Run command in the Start Menu, which I was previously not aware, so just implement which ever way you as a developer see more appropriate :)

You can create as many local variables as you want -

To keep them persistent across sessions you can use a simple .ini file. Here is an example script I use in our business

This was created before there was a user variable function in FK's

WJ

; CreateWellMEDini:

/*

WellMed.ini start up for persistant data

test for .ini file in user Documents dir., if not there - create it

test A_UserName in WellMed.ini if not same ask if wants to enter info

If same exit

*/

; some globals

provider := "Null", Clinic := "Null", addr1 := "Null",

addr2 := "Null", phone := "Null", fax := "Null"

Ifexist, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini

{

;file exists

IniRead, CurUser, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, user

if (CurUser = A_UserName) {

old := "y" ; y for yes is old, n for no is not match

; read in the user .ini data

IniRead, provider, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, provider

IniRead, clinic, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, clinic

IniRead, addr1, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, addr1

IniRead, addr2, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, addr2

IniRead, phone, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, phone

IniRead, fax, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, fax

; option to update / edit the .ini file

UpDateIni(old)

return

}

; get new user persistant info -

old := "n"

UpDateIni(old)

return

}

; need to create file and enter user data

CreateWMini()

return

;

;

UpDateIni(a)

{

global

; GUI for user persistent data

Gui, Add, Button, x132 y259 w100 h30 gWMIUpdate , OK-Update ; exit and update info

; Generated using SmartGUI Creator 4.0

; will pre-populate if .ini data is present

if (a = "y") {

GuiControl, ,provider, %provider%

GuiControl, ,clinic, %clinic%

GuiControl, ,addr1, %addr1%

GuiControl, ,addr2, %addr2%

GuiControl, ,phone, %phone%

GuiControl, ,fax, %fax%

}

Gui, Show, x127 y87 h304 w331, Review / Update User Info

Return

WMIUpdate:

Gui, submit

; update the .ini file

IniWrite, %A_UserName%, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, user

IniWrite, %provider%, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, provider

IniWrite, %clinic%, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, clinic

IniWrite, %addr1%, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, addr1

IniWrite, %addr2%, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, addr2

IniWrite, %phone%, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, phone

IniWrite, %fax%, %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini, UserInfo, fax

;

WMIExit:

GuiClose:

Gui, destroy

return

}

;

CreateWMini() {

; create the file

FileAppend, [userinfo], %A_MyDocuments%\WellMed.ini

; now call UpDateIni(old)

old := "n"

UpDateIni(old)

return

}

It creates an .ini file in the users document directory

You would then have to have this file read in at each boot of your local FK -

Works for us and .ini files are very easy to use
