Does this look ok? The app doesn't come up on my XPsp2 system, but it will start by itself.

try
B,401,176,400,111,"LOAD;EXTERNAL_GPS.SKIN;RUN;C:\PROGRA~1\ROADRU~1\SKINS\DRAWANDSAVE.EXE;Draw"

if that doesnt work try going without progra~1 and type it out in its entirety

What can I do for having the save&draw open in fullscreen? IMO I've got a larger textarea.

Ditto, another plug for working perfectly in RR, in Apps, and embedded in it's own window.

Here's the code I used to give it it's own dedicated button on the MAIN page using the IG skin, same as you:
B15,113,10,60,70,"LOAD;draw.skin;;c:\drawandsave.e xe;Draw"

I found I needed 2 semicolons after the skin name. The format is (I think) "load;skinfile;verbalcommand;filelocation;embedded windowname"
I wussed out & just put it under C:/ though. If my code doesn't work, try it with the prog in C:/, then once it works put it somewhere else & see if you need to spell out the directory name.

Ok, now I'm going to take this to another level!!

Wouldn't it be nice if you could use NaviVoice and have this write for you as you speak? I mean think of it this way; you're driving and you get a call and have to take a number down. You bring up this app, say the text and it writes it down for you and save it. Perfect!!

What do you think guys?? Is this even possible?

awesome little app....thanks Chuck and lostreception.

My $1200 etch-a-sketch is finally in place

I use this code on my button:

B09,0,460,160,70,"LOAD;scribble.skin;;c:\draw\draw andsave.exe;Draw"

The scribble.skin screen opens, but the draw app isn't visible. (doesn't appear to start at all) The path c:\draw\drawandsave.exe is correct.The app works fine when I click the .exe outside RR. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Hmm, don't I need some indicator on the scribble.skin to define where drawandsave.exe is shown? Which label should I use?

Chuck · 01-03-2006, 01:16 PM

you need to add something like this to your draw skin

/, A, x, y, w, h, color;RGB
A,17,98,600,415,

Meelobee · 01-03-2006, 01:22 PM

I've put this in my skin:

/, A, x, y, w, h, color;RGB
A01,45,70,710,477,0

and it still won't show

I think using notepad as NaviVoice currently has built in support works well enough, no?

Curious, have you found using letters and numbers work accurately enough? I changed to using a phonetic ie alpha, bravo etc. works more accurate with less false interpreted commands thinking I said a letter.

I guess you're right, you can use voice to open notepad, voice type your message and save it and close it. Hmmm, I guess it's about the "fun" aspect now!

I use NaviVoice and typing with it is a bit slow but I don't know if that is configuation issue. Any links to good voice recog. sites?

lostreception · 01-03-2006, 01:37 PM

chuck are you using win 2k it may be possible these problems arent isolated
if you have this working in XP any sp please post... thx

Chuck · 01-03-2006, 02:37 PM

I have xp desktop and 2k truck and both work with no problems using the .exe

But with the .swf in RR the background is transparent and it will not draw. -or you cant see it

I like using .swf better because
1 you do not need a button to load the draw app
2 when you quit RR the app closes
3 when you have another app open with the word (draw) in it will not suck into RR window
4 loads smoother
5 you can have more then one app in a skin
6 if you use /DISCARDABLE in a skin it will close the app when ever you go to another skin

what is thx?
