Thread: Start button creation!?

Also as you can see.....I'm using the elite lite skin. How can i make my new home skin the default skin when my PC boots up instead of the menu skin shown below?

The start button can be called up with the keyboard shortcut of CTRL ESC

so you can use a sendkey command followed by ^{ESC} as your button command.

e.g.

PHP Code:


B,000,050,200,050,"SENDKEY;^{ESC}",""

I copied ad pasted the command...but it did not work. Am I missing something in the command string? I looked up the key command for the windows button.....they are (LWIN) or (RWIN).....both will pull up the start menu just as they do on the physical keyboard......how is the command to be typed out so my onscreen button works is my problem....help!!!

Does anyone know the command to make my onscreen button work? The button is supposed to act like the Start button on the windows task bar, but so far I can't get it to work......help!

It's probably sending it to the application that has focus.

Not sure how to get windows itself in focus.

Try the keys Windows and D key.

write a program

here is one i whipped up in C# (.net 3.5)
but autoit3 or c++ just a quick

in the bin/release folder is the .exe

just run it in RR

Code:

B,000,050,200,050,"RUNQ;SartMenu.exe,""

(might want to put a path on it)

RUNQ;$SKINPATH$Scripts\StartMenu.exe


but you get the idea

prob 100 other ways to do this...
