SHO Player Control Bar

When a SHO script is launched, a small window containing player controls appears in the lower-right portion of your screen.  This window provides options for pausing, resuming and stopping a script.  If you right-click on the SHO icon on the control bar, a context menu appears with additional SHO Player options.  The figure below shows the name and location of the control bar options.

Status Window
Occasionally, it may take a few seconds for SHO Player to locate a particular interface object (button, menu, etc.)  When SHO Player is searching for an object, the Status window appears above control bar with the message Searching, as shown in the figure below.  Once the interface object has been found, it displays the message Complete and then disappears.

Repositioning the Control Bar

By default, the SHO Player control bar displays in the lower-right corner of your screen.  However, you can temporarily reposition the control bar at any time during script playback by dragging it to the desired location on the screen and releasing the mouse button.   

If you activate the Automatically save control bar position check box in the SHO Player Properties dialog box (see SHO Player Properties), the new position of the control bar will be preserved as you launch other scripts.  If this option is off, the control bar will revert back to its last saved position the next time you launch a script.
