Go to the below google drive folder which is called "QM" and read the "!README" document.
Google drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... VhBSmFId3M
Within that google drive folder you will find "index_1" and "index_2"
open either "1" or "2" to get a list of links to all the tutorials.

If you want to know what I covered, read the content within the folder "yt_pagelinks"
yt_pagelinks folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... 1FMVjY2Slk

I also created a "Demonstration" video which covers what QM is and how it works:
QM demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FOR-I3QJ8w
I felt this was needed because when you want to explain QM to another potential user
a video might give a clear picture of what QM is and how it works.
So if you want to cut down the explanation time to another person, just give a link to the video.

Finally there is also a virtualbox tutorial which explains how to install and setup
virtualbox using virtual machines provided by Microsoft itself.
It explains Installing virtualbox, downloading and setting up a virtual machine, Configuring and some extra
information. Use this tutorial to begin with if you absolutely are unsure about programming and using a tool
like Quick Macro's.

ALL info from the tutorial is done from my point of view and is NOT THE absolute way to approach things.
I might have explained many things wrong or many things might have explained better.
I just wanted to give beginning users something to begin with and get them to a reasonable level in a shorter time.
(If that is even possible with this tutorial).

All these tutorials are English text annotated and not voice narrated.
And all these tutorials require a lot of pausing as soon as the yellow text annotation appear.
The time they appear might not be long enough to read all the text.


EDIT 1: The current tutorials are deleted. I will reupload text corrected tutorials in the coming days.
EDIT 2: The "new" tutorials:
EDIT 3: qmtut 25 (video 25/25) has been deleted and new one uploaded. (due to some images overlapping text)

Function Dialog35
 
Code:
\Dialog_Editor
function# hDlg message wParam lParam
if(hDlg) goto messages

str controls = "3"
str e3
if(!ShowDialog("Dialog35" &Dialog35 &controls)) ret

;BEGIN DIALOG
;0 "" 0x90C80A44 0x100 0 0 223 135 "Dialog"
;1 Button 0x54030001 0x4 120 116 48 14 "OK"
;2 Button 0x54030000 0x4 170 116 48 14 "Cancel"
;3 Edit 0x54030080 0x200 6 10 96 14 ""
;END DIALOG
;DIALOG EDITOR: "" 0x202000B "" ""

ret
;messages
sel message
,case WM_INITDIALOG
,case WM_DESTROY
,case WM_COMMAND goto messages2
ret
;messages2
sel wParam
,case IDOK
,case IDCANCEL
ret 1

It may be not clear how to use it. Here are the explanations:

Create new function. Its name must be the same as used with the ShowDialog function in the example (in this case - Dialog35). Copy the code from the forum and paste in QM using menu Edit -> Other Formats -> Paste Escaped (in QM 2.3.0 and later - simply paste, and click 'Correct...' if it appears in the output).

If you need the function to have other name, give it any name and replace function name in the code. For example, if your function is MyDialog, use this:

if(!ShowDialog("MyDialog" &MyDialog &controls)) ret

Now, when you run the function using the Run button, it shows the dialog. If you need to show the dialog from other macro or function, cut the code that shows the dialog and paste there.

Also, to make the dialog easily editable with the Dialog Editor, insert space or semicolon before \ in the first line. Then, when you run the function using the Run button, it opens the dialog in the Dialog Editor.

Example:

Function Dialog35:
 
Code:
;\Dialog_Editor
function# hDlg message wParam lParam
if(hDlg) goto messages

;BEGIN DIALOG
;0 "" 0x90C80A44 0x100 0 0 223 135 "Dialog"
;1 Button 0x54030001 0x4 120 116 48 14 "OK"
;2 Button 0x54030000 0x4 170 116 48 14 "Cancel"
;3 Edit 0x54030080 0x200 6 10 96 14 ""
;END DIALOG
;DIALOG EDITOR: "" 0x202000B "" ""

- Use the 'Find help, functions, tools' field in the QM window.

- Search the forum.

- If it's about Windows API, you can find API reference in MSDN Library. Also look in stackoverflow and other programming websites.

- Remember: Possibly installing the latest QM version will solve your problem.

- The Subject field is important. Only few of us will read your message if the subject says nothing (e.g., "need help”, “question”).

- Give enough information. For example, if the macro must work with certain window, need window name, program name, etc.

- Post your macro, or part of it. Copy using menu Edit -> Other formats -> Copy for QM Forum. Then simply paste here (don't use the Code button).

- Forum: simply paste in the post. Don't use the Code button.

To copy/paste code from the forum to QM:
- Forum: click the Copy link at the top-right of the code.
- QM: paste in the code editor. If QM displays link 'Click here to correct the pasted code' , click it. See also ForumFunctionsToQm.

QM code in the forum is with commas (,) and semicolons (Wink instead of tabs and spaces. It's because tabs and spaces may disappear in the forum. These characters are important. When you copy text using menu Edit -> Other Formats, it replaces tabs and spaces to commas and semicolons. When you copy forum code and paste in QM, QM restores tabs and spaces.
