The following prorgams are the .exe versions. I suggest you Right-Click and save-as to obtain them. You may also need to download and install the VB-6 Runtime. I run on a developers System so I may have stuff installed you don't. Let Me Know!

April 10, 2011 ViewIt - An application that was designed to make using the Phantom Test Driver (PTD) CROP() Function easier.

Basically, ViewIt does two things. It allows you to open a PTD captured bitmap, select an area of interest, then save the equivalent PTD CROP() code in a text file. Also, saved is a comment line that preserves to equivalent MouseClick() based on the Base Bitmap you have selected. NOTE: At this time you must use PTD captured Bitmaps for the FIND() function to work reliably.

April 10, 2011Added a Stretchable View Window and removed the tiny window at the bottom of the main window. This gains a better view of what you're selecting. But, everything comes up under the main window forcing you to rearrange each time you load.

March 29, 2011 Prompt - This is basically a means for displaying a Prompt on the screen using PTD's SYSTEM() or RUN(). {Obviously use is not limited to PTD.}

Found an incompatibility with PTD. So changed the delimiter characters to "~" Tilde for start of command. And, "`" Reverse Apostrophe for end of command. Kind of like you've waving at the system with the Tilde then Slashing it off at the end?

If you use Prompt from a Command Line ensure you use Prompt.exe because there is a system command by the same name. An .ini file is created and allows for retention of the last used Prompt parameters between uses. Except for Timeout.
Commands as as follows:
~P` - Prompt - The Prompt Text To Display.
~FS` - FontSize - An Integer value. Recommended to be between 8 and 100.
~FN` - FontName - has to be a properly spelled completely Windows Fontname.
~FC` - ForeColor - This is a Long Integer (RGB) Value that is best obtained using ColorPicker.
~BC` - BackColor - This is a Long Integer (RGB) Value that is best obtained using ColorPicker.
~D` - Timeout - Will cause the Prompt to self close after x tenths of seconds.
~C` - Classic - Adds height to the Prompt Window to allow for various display themes effects.

ex. Prompt ~p`This is the Prompt Text ~D`100
the ~D`100 is a Ten Second Delay to Auto Shut Down
Example PTD Script that avoids the Command Window that shows with RUN()

use "Prompt.dec";
System("Prompt ~p`This is a Test Prompt");
bool b = WaitForWindow(Prompt,4);
while(b){
    b = WaitForWindow(Prompt, 1);
}
System("Prompt ~p`First Prompt Went InActive ~fs`20" )

At this time there are no string modifiers like \n for new line...

March 28, 2011 ColorPicker - Makes obtaining an RGB or Long Integer Color Value easier..

Not really much to say about this one...

March 28, 2011 Key Events - Makes obtaining the ASCII, KeyPress or KeyCode a bit easier...

Not really much to say about this one...
