Curious dialog box

[Aerilius]

It's defined in the exe (contains interesting old lumber). I didn't find a send_action code yet.

I thought...
20008 Macro
or
21082 Test Macros
but neither do anything except return true ?

[Dan Rathbun]

It could be just something that the MSVC++ application wizard adds to a new project, or it's in the default project template, etc.

Ask the SketchUppers ??

You extracted it from the EXE?

[Dan Rathbun]

Yes TT it is a resource in the exe file. I myself have also seen it. They are ALOT of dialog designs in there, and some have likely been orphaned, forgotten about etc.

You dont need to actually extract them, you can view any of them with the resource viewer/editor in MSVS.

Another interesting secret menu:

Note: the " %(#000000)[BugSplat Test]" shows a submenu which lists action codes 21560–21571. And 21910 screws... up!

Which is no longer secret.

Yea.. there is so much stuff in there, many on the SketchUp staff don't know about some of it. I actually had to inform one of the team members of those test "Splat!" send actions... to test a certain bug.

The Macro box that someone posted - SketchUp used to have a macro recorder in it. I think that was the interface for that tool.

That must have been back in the days before they integrated Ruby as a scripting engine ?

[Chris Fullmer]

Yeah it was back before version 4 I think. It recorded the mouse position on the screen and mouse clicks. So if you re-positioned your SU window, the whole macro broke!
