It seems like this shouldn't be too difficult for them to do yet it is the most annoying aspect of the developer addition. I haven't created a bot that uses the Play/Pause/Stop button pretty much ever. I understand for newbies and simple bots its fine but for anything slightly complicated you're gonna end up using UI Buttons. Whenever I sell a bot I my email is full of people asking why the Run/Stop/Pause doesn't do anything and asking why its there. Its really my biggest complaint at this point.

This has been asked many times already but still no answer. It would be nice if we could have those buttons on our own UI.

Been told this is likely coming but it has been a while and it doesn't seem to be a priority.

It's one of the most requested features I believe along with the other things to be removed/editable regarding branding and the UI, so hopefully it is a high priority, after of course any functionality issues that need to be addressed first.

its a feature. to remove it is a feature too.

[AutomationNinja]

Another good idea. They should have it set-up so you can easily add or remove it, especially with the developers license.

[giganut]

Can we do this now?

Yes, when you are about to compile, then choose remove Run bar.

[UBotDev.com]

We can already do that (under compile options there is a settings which allows you to hide run bar), buts actually not usable.

 

 

UBot team tried to provided solution for that (use UI buttons when you hide the bar), but they are only good for simple tasks;  that's why stop and pause commands won't work the way they do in standard program flow. Current solution is to create custom pause and stop commands, and check if user has paused or stopped bot after every line in the code...

 

EDIT: I removed the link since this functionality already exists, and I don't wasn't to confuse people.

Hopefully are able to use real custom run, stop and pause buttons anytime soon. I think that if you also want this, post it as a suggestion here: http://www.ubotstudi...features-to-add

it works to remove it

not sure what you're doing wrong but it works
just have to code your own html ui start pause and stop after

[UBotDev.com]

I know it does works (hiding the run bar).

 

Its the UI button functionality that bothers me. When you click on such button, UBot doesn't actually know its running something (its like running JavaScript), so it doesn't have the real control over that. I know there are some workarounds, but I think this feature needs to be revisited and implemented better (original button should change the status one you "start" the bot from UI, pause should work,....).

This has been very helpful. Thanks for clerifing the matter.

i like many got in to the habit now of forming our own structures instead

so we create stop checks and stop and go functions which is the very same thing as the other buttons did anyway

 

and they just become part of the code tool chest ;-)
