S&T Keys for 2006 and 2007 improved by toyfountain

Toyfountain, a user of Microsoft Streets and Trips 2006, took upon himself the arduous task of rewriting Keys version 2.42 (the 2007 version of Keys), and making it work with Streets & Trips 2006!

If you are still using the 2006 version of Microsoft Streets & Trips, rather than using the old function-limited original version 1.06, you may give his version a try.

Marvin;
I just triede to download the new version of Keys for S&T 2006. When ever I click the link provided I get the "page cannot be found" message. Typing the url by hand yields the same result.

Sorry, Keith. Thanks for pointing that out. The link should work now.

Marvin;
Worked like a charm. Thanks for the quick response.

excellently done, toyfountain!
I have checked and got amazed all past weekend your new ARkeys especially pressing F6 to automatically create&numbering pushpin and it works finely!!
You and Marv convinced me to start training new skills with this amazing tool AutoIt in order to redesign this wonderfull app that Marvin created for us!
...and you released the cream of it with this pushpin creation!

Now, let me ask you all (toyfountain and Marv but anyother feel invited...) about redesigning and compacting new ARkeys or STkeys as you consider! (I am in Europe and so, interested only by Autoroute for Europe release...).
1) I found an error in compilation provoked by typing mistake I suppose: compiling your source gave me SSplashTextOn(...) as underfined function.
I renamed it simply to the origin assisted by AutoIt help, so now is SplashTextOn (without doubleS) and now works finely!

2) By the way, how could I compact the source by using global variables like the long text used now as SplashTextOn (....) argument ?
Could I declare as global var all those repeated long strings used as the above function arguments and then simply call that function somehow alike SplashTextOn ($var1...n) ??
How ?
3) I want to impose a specific pushpin with a specific prefix name when use F6 to instantly create them ! How to do this? Is there a specific built-in function numbering the pushpins from the AR&ST pushpins design table? A sample will be fine!
And similarly, how about pushpin name? Could be handled by a variable settled same as global constants with a desired value by us in the script?

4) I want to interchange F6 with F5 as F5 position is easier to quickly press and F6 meaning pushpin creation could be top of the cream of this ARkeys soon !!!
Just imagine driving the car and take maximum profit of all what you may see for later re-use, meaning instantly pushpinning POI like special shops, lowest price gasoline stations..., campings and much more...
So, how can be made easier in order to not affect the intersection with the other controls in AR&STkeys ? Have I to manually replace each line where find F6 with F5 and viceversa? Is that enough or locked by main program?
Regards you all!

I haven't yet had the time to look at the pushpin function added by toyfountain, so I can only answer the first two:

1) You have fixed the error

2) Not a variable, but you could create a function. The function would include just that one single line, so I'm not really sure if it makes much sense. But perhaps if you feel the code would be easier for you to read, than yes, by all means, feel free to do it.

Ok but how? I am not so skilled to find the proper syntax to do it! A sample could be easier to understand if you have some time to focus on ....

I tried more built-in function to store the text to display but also other strings and get only errors when compile...

As sample, the text "wait for GPS to initialize etc...dont use mouse or keyboard etc " is tens times writed in the script.
How about using a function to replace these long strings? try a sample when have some time!
thanks in advance

just imagine if there were no microsoft. wow wow..
