Input tool using MouseWheel - Page 11

Yes, right. As far as I know, CF hasn't got such a implementation (I could be wrong though) but it could be easily done with the new plugin SDK.

Here's an list for all Centrafuse (key) commands.

Wow Zorro, you're great! Thanks a lot man! When I tried it myself, I didn't put in the "-"...works like a charm now!

Also, here are a few pics of the MWI dedicated button.
I started a new thread about this: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/show...895#post670895

zorro · 11-10-2005, 11:30 AM

Looks good man.

You're now in my Top-Ten list of "Recycled stuff used for CarPC".
The other one I know has put his CarPC in a Ikea keybox...

That's what I call Innovation!

Bravellir · 11-10-2005, 03:23 PM

****.. looks great

liquid_smoke · 11-13-2005, 02:59 PM

WOW! a lot has changed, the new ver is awesome!
Its kind of like object dock, but way more flexible.
It now works with my powermate without me doing anything

Sally is happy

Has anybody gotten this work with IG yet, im trying to sendkeys to it but all it does is open a new instance of IG

also, since this works with frodocom is it possible to use it with the joystickinput on frodocom, i have no experience with either so im just wondering cuz i do use a gamepad in the car for mouse.

liquid_smoke · 11-13-2005, 03:03 PM

oh and thanks zorro for unbricking my powermate

zorro · 11-13-2005, 03:56 PM

I didn't change anything with the PowerMate, but however, I'm glad it's working now. Have fun Sally

It will work with the joystikinput over FrodoComm, if it's sending the right messages as defined on page 1 (which I guess it does not, coz when it was developed there was no MWI). But if Frodo gets bored some day, he might be take a look into it.

I will be releasing an update soon with some bugs fixed and a tasklist function included in the bar.

liquid_smoke · 11-14-2005, 10:19 PM

yeah, its weird, when i noticed the new version, the first thing i said is, where is my powermate! dug it out of the junk drawer and walah, it worked.

glad to see you are transforming this small utility to a very usefull app. One of the biggest uses (IMO) is for control of your GPS software, esp when you are running it fullscreen with nothing but the map viewable. So for the time being thats what ill be working on.

zorro · 11-15-2005, 02:37 AM

Exactely! GPS (and every other app that is running fullscreen) is hard to handle while you're in the car. But also, every app can be handled easier if you use the PowerMate or you do something like Cris did.

Hope you send us some definitions and a nice skin someday

Let’s face it. There are only two ways of managing applications in a Carputer. One is to have all of them embedded on a frontend, the other is to use a tool such as WMI.
I prefer the WMI solution, well, exactly because is frontend independent. I like to be able to switch between applications fast and without complications like remember where to press or having to look at the screen or having to go thru the frontend to jump from the gps to the browser or the compass or winc or netstumbler...
I appreciate the effort the frontend developers put on integrating picture viewers, browsers, sync managers, etc.. into their media players, but I feel that it would be a lot easier to develop and manage, the apps would be faster and would be a lot more customizable environment if we had different apps for each job, communicating where needed using something like frodocomm, and aggregated using an application manager like WMI.

liquid_smoke · 11-15-2005, 12:25 PM

i think a good mix of both will yield the best result. Some things, although totaly doable with WMI are easier just clicking the button on the frontend, but this varries with what options people have for imput devices. And other things, like navigateing a fullscreen GPS app lends itself to having all its options put into MWI. Taskswitching is a item i dont believe needs to be in a frontend, or application launching if its not embeded.

I really like mwi (can we comeup with a new name for this), and after im done building out the menus for various things, ill start on some graphics, although the default one matches my skin pretty good except the icon colors.

liquid_smoke · 11-15-2005, 04:03 PM

i think sendkeys is sending the same key twice for one menu click, can someone confirm?

also, i dont think the RETURN command is the same thing as ENTER on the keyboard, since there dosent seem to be an ENTER command. I think i had this problem before with phoco keymaps.

zorro · 11-16-2005, 05:02 AM

If you're sending keys to control a menu, you usually use ALT key combinations. In that case use the following notation:
Alt, {menu key}, -Alt

RETURN and ENTER deliver the same code, so they're interchangeable.
