Title: Hd Lock, Format, Static Ip, And Dynamic Ip
Post by: -FourDoor- on March 11, 2004, 02:20:00 PM
The IP settings along with the rest of the mxm.xml settings will be handled by the new UI in the next release "o". It can also be done now via action scripts but the new UI will be even better.

The format options you speak of has already been done and can be easily modified to your liking. Check out the actionscripts subforum.

Not sure about the hd lock stuff though...

Sweet, I didn't bother reading the UI developments until after I posted, dur no wonder BJ is still building the input menus.

I've got the format thing set up this way:
<SubMenu>
      <Title>System Utils</Title>
      <Passcode>12345</Passcode>
      <Item>
         <Title>Format F:/G:</Title>
         <Description>Format unused space</Description>
         <Action>
            allowformat 1
            format f:
            format g:
         </Action>
      </Item>

Your saying there's a script out there instead that'll make extra double triple sure that  I want to format my F: or G: drives ?  It would suck if my I wasn't paying attention.

Yeah what you have there is very dangerous... You can add diaglogs to your script up there and make the user answer yes 10x before formattting if you wan to. I'd write up the script for you now, but I don't have my actionscript cheetsheet stuff here with me. I'm sure someone will chime in soon with the proper tags...

Well this is a very very basic actionscript. I haven't written one in a while so hopefully I didn't miss anything... Just springboard off this and include variables and whatnot if you want... Just make sure when you're testing your script that you cange the format commands for dialog boxs.  laugh.gif

That is really cool.   Thank you!

I'm going to test it out later today, luckily my F: drive is empty so its safe to test.
