Thread: Needed: BETA Testers for Google Earth Plugin

This is the test skin that was supplied with the original plugin, it's pretty basic.

I need to load a specific .kml file.

How can i do that with RRearth6 ?

if you load your .kml file into GE6 outside RR you have the option to save it to your list so anytime you re-open GE6 (including inside RR) it should already be loaded.

I should like to do that inside RR

I have found a solution with vb6

Code:

'Exemple de chargement de données KML dans googleEarth
Private Function Loadkml()
    Dim GEI As ApplicationGE
    Dim Fichier As String
    Set GEI = CreateObject("GoogleEarth.ApplicationGE")
    'Attente que GoogleEarth soit initialisé
    While (GEI.IsInitialized = 0)
    DoEvents
    Wend
    Fichier = App.Path & "\Google.kml"
    Call GEI.OpenKmlFile(Fichier, 1) ' 1= pas de message dans GoogleEarth si le fichier n'existe pas par exemple
End Function

I have added into the gpsexec.dll and that run very well !

It is possible to add this option into the rrearth.dll ?

I try to launch Google Earth without it's plugin .

So i try this command but without success:

Code:

"LOAD;RREARTH.SKIN||RUN;$PLUGINSPATH$GPSExec\Google.kml;Google Earth"

Do you think that it's not possible or my command is bad ?

Well you are not running a program, you are trying to run a file and hoping that it gets opened by the program which is associated to it. Now that may work in explorer by clicking on it, but don't think RR will open a file by association.

IOW put the path to the google earth exe and then have the KML file as a command line parameter.

What Enforcer said should work... something like:

PHP Code:

"GE_START||RUN;C:\Program Files\Google\Google Earth\client\googleearth.exe|$PLUGINSPATH$GPSExec\Google.kml" 


Thanks Enforcer and Guino,
It's exactly that i found yesterday and tried into a plugin with a certain succes .

Code:

        Case "ini2kml" 'visualisation dans GoogleEarth
            If ExistFile(App.Path & "\google.kml") Then
                If RRSDK.GetInd("pluginmgr;status;rrearth") = "True" Then
                CMD = "SETVAR;TRAPSTERINFO;Google Earth Is launched !||load;Gpsexec_GE.skin||run;" & Environ$("ProgramFiles") & "\Google\Google Earth\client\googleearth.exe|$PLUGINSPATH$GPSExec\Google.kml;Google Earth"
                ProcessCommand = 3
                Else
                CMD = "SETVAR;TRAPSTERINFO;GooleEarth Plugin is not found !"
                ProcessCommand = 3
                End If
            Else
                Shell (App.Path & "/ini2kml.exe")
                CMD = "SETVAR;TRAPSTERINFO;Kml conversion is running !"
                ProcessCommand = 2
            End If
