Thread: [Release] SKINbedder BETA 2.99999

Yeh, too bad its a limitation
I think we should use just the scripts and send them to autoit as a parameter. I know its easy to do the exe, but why? Its easier not to

I like XML because its sturcutured. INIs become unorganized after a while, trust me *cough*NaviVoice*cough*.

Umm... what were we able to do through our commands? Just sending text? Well, in that case its much easier to let autoIt handle everything.

Also FYI: All you have to do to compile a .au3 to a .exe is right click it and choose compile. You can also de-compile the .exe back to a .au3 (with comments and all I think).

I don't really think XML is any better than INI files unless you have a huge tree-structure. So far Command= is the only thing that needs "commatext" and that works pretty well for that. My point of re-structuring was to decrease the length of the INI and organize the images, panels and their settings (as well as the programs) in to their own directories. I'm still thinking about it. I will consider XML, it just doesn't seem to help off the top of my head.

Yes, it will. The question is should it ONLY point to a script, or are we going to support our own script language too (as we currently do with SendKeys and as I planned to do with show/hide/enable/dissable "button groups"). If we do support our own script, how much of the AutoItX commands do I need to include Vs. just letting people point to an AutoIt file if they need to run advanced script commands.

The question is, should we allow things such as:
Command=Focus('GPS Info'),Send(Enter)
...which will then use AutoItX to do that stuff.

...or, should we just force people to use:
Command=MenuButton.au3
...and have AutoIt.exe installed?

Can AutoIt even focus on the GPS info by itself?

any closer to any updates..speaking of updates...I severly messed with SB ini file and finally got it to embed in RR every time...YAHOOOO

Just waiting for that reconnect fix...works great other wise now..thanks for all the help!

RPM_VR4 is working on the next version. That one will have the ability to execute autoit scripts on resume

Great...can't wait....

Also, I previously added a shutdown script but it never worked. I put it in the OnFormClose handler but I guess it won't let me ShellEx while I am already shutting down. Do you know how to fix that? Also, is it possible to run a script just before entering hibernate (might be usful someday)?

Well, I was able to pause recognition before hibernation in NaviVoice, so MAYBE we'll be able to run a script on coming into hibernation. But we should be able to run it when coming out for sure.

Code:

//--- WMPowerBroadcast -------------------------------------------------------\\
procedure TfrmCommandAndControl.WMPowerBroadcast(var message: TMessage);
var
  I : Integer;

  case message.WParam of

                bringformtofront(FindWindow(PChar('#32770'), nil));

                SendKeysToTitle(Title,'G');
                SendKeysToTitle(Title,SK_RIGHT);
                SendKeysToTitle(Title,SK_DOWN);
                SendKeysToTitle(Title,SK_RIGHT);
                for i := 1 to (LoadInteger('settings','commport',
                  'NaviVoice.ini') - 1) do
                SendKeysToTitle(Title,SK_DOWN);
                SendKeysToTitle(Title,SK_ENTER);
              end
            end;
    $0008 : log('PBT_APMRESUMESTANDBY');  //PBT_APMRESUMESTANDBY
  end;
end;
//--- WMPowerBroadcast -------------------------------------------------------//

Add procedure WMPowerBroadcast(var message: TMessage); to private.

That code is from NaviVoice.
