Thread: Old NetStumbler SKIN (needs a new owner)

Alright, I've been playing with it. I changed the skin around, and have a few problems:

Netstumbler does not embed, unless I am quick enough to click on the 'skin' before NS comes up.

The buttons don't seem to do anything. They don't change color (skin_down), and they don't send key strokes.

How do I control the window within a window? I read through the threads, I would search, but I don't know what the inner window is called.

And finally, but I can live with it, the little message window keeps fighting with SB. I could move the buttons, but that's where I want them!

Here's what I have:
-----SB Config:

And here's a screen capture.

I'm not sure why clicking on the skin would help it work, but I would tweak your startup script a bit...

You had:

Code:

StartUp=Run(C:\Progra~1\Networ~1\Netstumbler.exe), Embed(NSMap:500),Focus(NSMap),LoadSkin(NSMap:Skin)

You don't need to focus on NS, and I'd add a delay after running the EXE:

Code:

StartUp=Run(C:\Progra~1\Networ~1\Netstumbler.exe),Wait(1000),Embed(NSMap:500),LoadSkin(NSMap:Skin)

The reason you want to wait is that the embed() command will sometimes get the WindowHandle and try to embed the window before the application has even shown the window on the screen. This causes all the width/height math to get all messed up and it doesn't embed properly.

I plan to fix this in a future version by checking for the window to be visable before trying to embed it.

Still doesn't work. And now, it doesn't work, even if I click on the skin before NS launches. I tried fiddling with the numbers, but no doing.

Ok... I remember now. The problem is that NS has a random number as part of the title. Sb does not support partial matches. If you search you may find a few solutions that have been done in the past. However, I just actually installed NS for the first time and I came up with a quick solution that will probably work best...

Here is my start-up:

Code:

StartUp=Run(C:\Progra~1\Networ~1\Netstumbler.exe),Wait(3000),Send(Ctrl-F4),Embed(NSMap:500),LoadSkin(NSMap:Skin)

The Ctrl-F4 will close the sub-window which will cause NS to remove the numbers from its title. Then Sb can embed it. After the Embed() command, you could also send an Ctrl-N to open a new window back up.

Alright, I got it to work. I used the script that is in the folder (startup.exe) to launch it, and open the appropriate ns1 file. Then skinbedder takes over again, and finishes the skinning. Here'e the resulting stuff.

Code:

StartUp=Run(C:\Progra~1\Skinbe~1\Netstu~1\startup.exe),wait(500),Embed(NSMap:500),LoadSkin(NSMap:Skin)

The AutoIt script:

Code:

Run("C:\Program Files\Network Stumbler\NetStumbler.exe myns1.ns1", "C:\Program Files\Network Stumbler\", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
WinWaitActive("Network Stumbler - myns1.ns1","",1000)

Now the problem is that the buttons still don't work!

Could it be that I have them defined in the wrong spot? And if so, do I define them by the loaction in pixels on the skin? Or what?

Bump.

My buttons still don't work. I've changed the numbers, but nothing is happening. Am I defining them wrong? I tried clicking on anywhere on the skin, but still nothing.

Here's what I have.

the buttons coordinates are relative to the bitmap, not to the sb window.

just replace on skin.ini

Top=338
Bottom=390

with

Top=3
Bottom=55

and they will work

Sorry I missed your post on the 13th. Thanks for the bump .

Bravellir is correct. If you have any other problems please post back and I will try to help. Also, please post your SKIN in a new thread once complete and you are happy with it.

One concern: Why do you have to use an Auto-It script? The WinWaitActive command in the AutoIt script doesn't even do anything since your SKINbedder script is Run() instead of RunWait(). Try just running NS instead of the AutoIt script and I bet it will work.
