Hi,
It turns out I couldnt make a combination of OnScreenDisplay and Menu Items work because the background of the OnScreenDisplay covers the menu items. However, it seems that List does the trick (i.e. looks like a regular dialog but doesnt steal focus even though you can set a default (executes with a press of Return key). The user-defined macro (now in the "Yes Macro" instead of in the same macro executes immediately after the user enters the choice.
One additional question: There are a lot of extra lines - I geuss assuming that there would be many choices but with two, I dont need so much white space. Anyway to tighten this up. (like a character that indicates this is the last choice so should size the box appropriately?
This would be good for Toolbars also. It is often that I am spending a lot of time resizing toolbars manually.
Not trying to make extra work for you - just sharing ideas. Thanks for all your help!!
