The program should be closing the process once the X is clicked and its not.

No clue. Reinstall or something. No one else is having the same problems

CF on the other hand, I cannot get the status bar nudged off the screen. Changed window size, nudge settings, even going to extremes on some numbers but its still show. Probably just haven't found the right combination. Will play with it some more later.

PRobably a bug... rembmer like with the old version of iGSkinner? There needs to be a different resize code

Sorry guys... no OSK tonight. Should be tomorrow though.

Here's a screen shot of SKINbedder embedding both the main iG window and the GPS info in a single form.

looks good.. do you plan on having a sat button, which splits then splits the screen between sat info and map, as in the screenshot? and if so, i imagine you'll do the same with the route maneuver list too...?

I was planning on adding a command to hide panels (each window is on a panel). I think if the panel is hidden the the "Align=Client" panel (the main iG window in this case) will auto-stretch to full screen.

...so, YES!

You will be able to do that stuff in an INI. We will provide an example INI with that stuff for iG as well as other programs people want. Remember, I am trying to make this thing as non-iG specific as possible, but still allow all of the features people want for iG (this is why I joined forces with Ol33l who is much more focused on iG).

I still think DeLorme might be the best Nav program once it is "SKINbedded" properly.

RPM and/or leelo,

I have been working on the OSK. But, for whatever reason, I can't get the buttons to show up on the screen. In fact, no buttons are showing up on the screen. Here is my modifed Skinbedder.ini file, made for just a couple of buttons of the OSK.

[MainWindow]
WindowTitle=SKINbedder
DefaultTop=100
DefaultLeft=200
DefaultWidth=800
DefaultHeight=600
DefaultDelay=25
BackgroundColor=$FF0000

[WindowsDisplaySettings]
WindowBorderWidth=5
TitleBarHeight=32

[Programs]
P0=C:\Program files\iNav\iGuidance\iGuidance.exe

[Groups]
G0=B0

[iG]
Panel=P0
RemoveNoGPSScreen=FALSE
ReconnectGPS=TRUE
Command=WHAT TO DO - ENTER MACRO

[P0]
WindowName=iGuidance
Parameters=
Directory=C:\Program files\iNav\iGuidance\
PanelColor=$000000
PanelTop=0
PanelLeft=0
PanelWidth=800
PanelHeight=600
NudgeLeft=0
NudgeRight=0
NudgeTop=42
NudgeBottom=20
Anchors=top,bottom,left,right

[Buttons]
B0=P0
B1=P0
B2=P0
B3=P0

[B0]
X=140
Y=250
Image=1.bmp
ImageDown=1_red.bmp
ImageOver=1.bmp
ImageDissabled=1_red.bmp
Anchors=Bottom
Command=enter

[B1]
X=180
Y=250
Image=2.bmp
ImageDown=2_red.bmp
ImageOver=2.bmp
ImageDissabled=2_red.bmp
Anchors=Bottom
Command=enter

[B2]
X=220
Y=250
Image=3.bmp
ImageDown=3_red.bmp
ImageOver=3.bmp
ImageDissabled=3_red.bmp
Anchors=Bottom
Command=enter

[B3]
X=260
Y=250
Image=4.bmp
ImageDown=4_red.bmp
ImageOver=4.bmp
ImageDissabled=4_red.bmp
Anchors=Bottom
Command=enter

What am I doing wrong. Whatever it is, I will make the complete OSK ini once I figure out what I am doing wrong.

Forsome reason, Oleel's latest release starts Y on the bottom of the screen, so to see buttons, you will have to use negative values for Y to move it up to a visible area. This will be changed in the next release along with the ability to show/hide the OSK or any groups of buttons. Therefore I would not spend much time on it as the co-ordinates will have to be changed. What you already gave me is awesome.

If you do want to play with it, just set the first button to X=100, Y=-100 and you should be able to see it. Then you can adjust the values for each button from there.

Just curious... what theme is being used for the OSK in this initial effort? a CentraFuse theme? Or?

Also, everytime I load Skinbedder with iG, it loads the iG main menu by default. I've tried everything, it's driving me nuts.

**RPM_VR4** · 06-27-2005, 11:32 PM

What do you mean by the iG main menu?

The only OSK we have BMP's for currently is WiredWRX's brushed metal buttons. He posted them earlier in this thread if you want to see what they will look like. If anyone want's to make alternate BMP's (and preferably the INI X,Y,image definitions too) then we will be happy to include multiple.

When it loads iGuidance inside Skinbedder, it also pops up the iGuidance main menu. Im talking about the menu that has all the different icons, including POIs, Destination, etc. It's as if someone hit 'Enter' key after loading Skinbedder. Strange, isn't it?

OK, thanks. I'd like to see this brushed metal version first. I assume the way this is built, is that all buttons are placed seamlessly in a matrix layout. Right? Sounds tricky!
