I downloaded the Skins from your site, and your updates. Is this all I need? You told me something in PM the other day that it wasn't correct.

The full skins are already updated, the one "white" brushmetal in your first install had some bugs in it.. the full skins at my page are already updated.

That is all you need, I am fixing a few bugs here right now so you might want to wait till tomorrow to work on this..

I'd remove that roadrunner icon from the config program.

haha.. I actually DREW that (for the fun of it).. just need to find something better..

I've just fixed up a few bugs and made it available again.. (1-31-05).. that is after I tried it in my car with a few different settings.. also had to add a path setting to Map Monkey in the config tool (it was sharing the external GPS setting -- not good)...

Please let me know if you find/have problems with version 1-31-05...

Gamma Control doesn't work Added gammacontrol=Form1 to mpc.ini and RR.ini in all the possible places. So then I have Form1 running and hit Day/Night and nothing happens

This is in the 1/30 version... testing out 1/31 now.

Code:

unit Unit1;

interface

uses
  Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
  Dialogs, StdCtrls;


const
  MY_MESSAGE = WM_USER + 442;

type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    Button1: TButton;
    procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  private
    { Private declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
    procedure MessageReceiver(var msg: TMessage); message MY_MESSAGE;
  end;

var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}


procedure TForm1.MessageReceiver(var msg: TMessage);
var
  txt: PChar;
begin
  txt := PChar(msg.lParam);
  msg.Result := 1;
  ShowMessage(txt);
end;


procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  txt: string;
begin
  txt := 'Hello World';
  SendMessage(Form1.Handle, MY_MESSAGE, 0, DWORD(PChar(txt)));
end;

end.

Ok... tested it on 1/31/05... same thing... nothing pops up

[Edit]: this might be on my end. I made an app that should send the same message it doesn't respond

Have you really used WM_USER + XXX values for custom functions before ? cause all the tests I did with VB returned me GARBAGE in wParam and lParam when using any WM_USER + XXX messages.. I could receive the message but only the WM message number would arrive correctly...

The setting is supposed to be on RR.INI...

Any chance you can your code on a DLL so I can simply use OLE/COM to use its functions ?

I have just posted a "FIX/IMPROVEMENT" just for your gammacontrol, that is, I changed just the gamma function for you to try a different code, everything else is the same.

EDIT: This is the new code:

'Sends GAMMA Command to GAMMAControl
Private Sub SendGAMMA()
Dim t(6) As Byte

'Build Command string (screw unicode conversions)
t(0) = "G": t(1) = "G": t(2) = "A": t(3) = "M": t(4) = "M": t(5) = "A": t(6) = 0

'Send Message
SendMessage FindWindowByPartialTitle(GammaControl), WM_USER + 442, 0, VarPtr(t(0))

End Sub

FindWindowBy PartialTitle will match any window with Form1 in the title, even if part of a name, and it's not case sensitive.

Ok... better idea! GammaControl is capable of receiveing command line parameters. So send "GammaControl.exe /switch". This will be much easier to implement, and its already done on my side

For some reason the code that I posted only worked within the app itself

Sounds great, just send me the darn thing and I'll add it.. OR you can just edit your skin code for that from "GAMMA" to "RUNQ;GammaControl.exe /switch" (or add full path if necessary) -- internally I'll probably make GAMMA be executed as the above..

Sorry - can't get Map Monkey to embed properly. Window Name is set as "Map Monkey", the path is set as the mapmonkey.exe path and the selection option is set as Map Monkey in the RR Config.exe file.

Am I missing something? Thanks!

EDIT

Problem fixed - had the Map Monkey path in the wrong box - there were 2 boxes for GPS path in your config program. That's what happens when you rush through setup....
