Macro and Custom POS Buttons

Sorry I don't have an answer since I'm a newbie, just another question on this topic:

Once the POS is open, there seems to be no option to close it. Am I missing something? So far I had to go to Windows' Task Manager to end the task. This doesn't seem normal. Also, can the SQL be set to connect itself to a default database as soon as POS is triggered? We can leave the system on

24/7, but if electrical outlet snaps and system gets shut down, employees must be trained reboot, reopen, and reconnect the database, which is not a simple task.

Hi Ari,

Currently, macros for custom POS buttons is not a feature. :(

What are you trying to set as custom POS button? Selecting a customer or setting some changes to the customer?

Kay,

1. You can set the POS screen so that you can minimize it. At POS, press CTRL+F6. Then, click the Transaction Screen tab and then, Window button. Mark the checkbox for Show Resizeable Border, then, click OK, then, OK to exit from the screen. Your POS screen should have the usual minimize, maximize and close buttons on the upper rightmost part.

1. Sorry Kay, but I honestly don't get your second question right. Are you saying that when there is a power interruption and the system shuts down, they need to go to Administrator and connect the database? I'm quite confused. Usually, if there is a power interruption and the system shuts down, you just need to log back on. Rebooting and reopening is a must though. :?

Let me know exactly what you mean by the second scenario.

yes you can do this - for example if you want to have a custom button that triggers a macro that you have saved under the Alt+F1, you could insert a code like the following into a class module:

Public Function Process(session As Object) As Boolean On Error Resume Next Dim posSession As Object Set posSession = session SendKeys "%{F1}" Process = True End Function

then under your custom button properties for this button, select Com Object (session object) under style, under command type MyProject.MyClass, replacing MyProject and MyClass with the name of your project and the name of your class that contains the above code. should work, we use it and it works fine

hth kev> Kay,

Ari,

Wouldn't be easier to just require 100% deposit for layaway/workorder in the Manager | Ordering tab?

Press ESC on your keyboard..

Who did you buy your system from that they didn't show you how to exit POS? We had this explained to us during the initial demo, but I also just clicked F1 Help in POS and searched for "exit" and found this: "To exit Store Operations POS, press the Esc key until you see a window that asks if you really want to close Store Operations POS. Select the appropriate button."

I am VERY interested in doing this. I'm hoping to get a dozen of these (one each for F1 through F12) so that I can assign macros to custom buttons whenever I please. Would you be willing to divulge a little more info or even share your existing project(s) and/or class module(s)?

Thanks, Tom
