send commands to apps not working?

**liquid_smoke** · 10-21-2005, 03:30 AM

im trying to get RR to launch and app and also send commands (switches) to the app but it dosent seem to be working, when i use any commands RR fails to launch the app and just sits there.

In the "Skin Commands.txt" file it says
"Dynamic Commands: set the code of a button to: "RUN;COMMAND+PARAMETERS" will
make it so clicking this button runs the specified command&parameters in the computer."

ive tried using the plus symbol and also the "&" symbol but no dice.

when i use the commands on a windows shortcut they work fine, the full command line is below. Note, this is used only on a windows shortcut. What it does is open Opera with all UI elements turned off, including the file menu

"C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe" /kioskmode /kiosknormalscreen /nomenu /nopanel

ive even tried it only using one command but RR still doesnt like my code.

here is the RR code
"RUN;C:\playfile.exe|C:\Music.wav||LOAD;opera.skin;RUN;C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe+/nomenu;Opera"

anybody have any ideas?

thanks

I think you still need a Double Pipe in there and get rid of the plus sign.
Try this command:
"RUN;C:\playfile.exe|C:\Music.wav||MENU;opera.skin||RUN;C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe /nomenu;Opera"

not sure why nothing happens

it has something to do with the commands being sent to the app,

this works
"RUN;C:\playfile.exe|C:\Music.wav||LOAD;opera.skin;RUN;C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe;Opera"

but this dosent work
"RUN;C:\playfile.exe|C:\Music.wav||LOAD;opera.skin;RUN;C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe /nomenu;Opera"

the only difference is the /nomenu

TRy

"RUN;C:\playfile.exe|C:\Music.wav||LOAD;opera.skin ;RUN;C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe|nomenu;Opera"

pay attention man:

"RUN;C:\playfile.exe|C:\Music.wav||LOAD;opera.skin;Opera;C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe|/nomenu;Opera"

you mixed up the load command and the run command inside of it...

Okay, so I'm trying to get Mobile Emulator to run inside of RR, and I was told I need to add this button (and the associated string of commands/parameters):

B06,3,312,275,78,"RUN;C:\playfile.exe|C:\Music.wav ||LOAD;games.skin;RUN;C:\Program Files\Mobile Impact\me.exe;Mobile Impact",""

But I'm not sure where this should go. The file to RRSource.zip seems to be down. Can I get a little help?

Hi,
From the look of it that's a button command and should go in menu.skin in your skin folder. Always make a copy of your skin and call it something different, and work with the copy. Remember to change RR config to the new skin name!
