The Procomm right scroll bar turns red 1

[TheeFalcon]

When Procomm's ( most versions )right scroll bar is used, and the scroll bar turns red, data collection is stopped. Collection will only resume after the scroll bar is brought back home. Is there a aspect code fix that will home this scroll bar every five minutes?

Thanks

This is by design, although I believe the data should still be buffered and displayed when the scrollback buffer is turned off.

The only way to "fix" this that I can think of would be to monitor the Edit | Scrollback Buffer menu item and then turn off the Scrollback Buffer. The script below does it by checking the menu state and then sending an Escape to the Procomm window to get out of scrollback mode.

proc main
integer State ; State of menu item.

winfocus $PWMAINWIN
menustate PWMENU 215 State
if State == 0 ; See if Scrollback off.
;
else
sendkey 0x1B
endif
endproc

Thanks Knob,

Your fix was implemented with a when statement. I needed a hook, to break out of the capture on / capture off.

The program affects other window programs!

Thanks
