    iguidance disappears in full screen - please help...

    I tried searching for this topic before I opened a new thread but I didnt find anything related to this... When I click on GPS in rr.exe it launches iguidance like it is configured to do - i can click on the destination button and all is good, however, when I start clicking on some other buttons such as zoom out and full screen I start to have problems... - On the zoom in/out issue, if i click on view zoom in or zoom out, it works fine, but in the skin if i click on the zoom in button, it zooms in, but if i click on zoom out, it still zooms in... - also when i click the full screen button iguidance just seems to disappear (i cant even see the application it i hit alt+tab (I can see the application in alt+tab if it is not full screen))

    it would help to say which skin you're using and if you're using anything like IGKeys, Skinbedder etc.

    Sorry about that but the skin is CFX and it is just embedded in rr.exe using rrconfig.exe options as follows: (GPS Path: (set correctly to iguidance); Window Name: iGuidance; GPS Mode: External)

    Also here is the code from the exectbl.ini file:

    /, Set Bellow the Path to the CDRip plugin (if used)
    "CDRIP","PLUGIN;RRCDRip;C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\Road Runner Files\Road Runner\CDRip\CDRip.exe"
    "QUIT","SendMsg;RRCDRip;showplugin||bye"
    "BYE","QUIT"

    And I know its working because if i click on any other window within a fraction of a second it goes back to rr.exe

    as for your first question about the fullscreen, it sounds like you are using the fullscreen function inside of IG, you will have issues doing this as RR has already embeded IG into a window, and when you try to go fullscreen, IG (and other apps) try to fill the entire windows desktop. It dosent work like how video goes fullscreen as it dosent use an overlay. What you want to do is create a second .skin file that has a larger embed (Application) window and then create a button to switch between the two. You will not be able to achieve a 100% fullscreen view of the gps, you could be you would not have any controls on the screen to return to non fullscreen mode.

    There is a work around for this, but it is not straight forward and requires the use of another app and a bit of config etc.

    ok, ill have a solution for you in the morning reguarding running embeded apps in 100% fullscreen and still able to return to RR.

    The solution will require you to run a small app (122k) that consist of a single button that's soul purpose is to send a command to RR, this command can be customized to whatever you want, but by default it will activate RR and send a keyboard shortcut to the RR window. You can set RR to do whatever you want when this keystroke is recieved.
    The way i have it setup now:

    When i go to fullscreen GPS (no RR controls on screen, all you see is IG) my small app is launched by RR and is allways on top. When you click the button it will exit FS mode and return RR to the previous non fullscreen GPS screen, and my small app is also closed at this time.

    I have a simliar situation with RR, IG(IGuidance) and SKINBedder. When I launch IG embedded in RR, then Switch to, say Web,then go back to IG, My buttons dont control IG anymore. When I do push the buttons, IG kind of dissapears until I click the "embedded area"(where IG should be). I did see something someone used with Streets and trps that has "Activate" command in the code, Would that work for me? And what would I be activating, SKINBedder?

    I have both MS Streets and Trips and Iguidance set up in RR

    This is what I use for Streets and trips. Can something lke this be used for IG as well?
    STREETS AND TRIPS
    "ACTIVATE;- Microsoft Streets & Trips||SENDKEY;%VZI"

    IGUIDANCE
    "SENDKEY;{up}||GETFOCUS"
    This works in IGudance as long as I dont go to another screen, well, seems to be only when I goto Videos or web. If I go to my music screen it still will work.

    UPDATE
    Ok, tried some experimenting. Opened RR. Went to WEB before I opened GPS and I get the same result as if I opened the GPS pane first then went to web. IG loses focus. It happens when I goto VIDEO, DVD and WEB before or after opening IG.If I go to Music, Radio, or any of the others, IG runs fine. Also, in Streets and Trips, everything Is fine regardless of what I do. It's almost like a "Lag" issue.
