Plugins Tested working but no interface

[djcarl]

POPup OSD works if configured in 3.3 There is no interface but it does work.

Taskcreate works fine

Simple time works if configured in 3.3 There is no interface but it does work.

Cannot test with my GML's Send Message because they use ButtonMode which does not work in 4.0

[Ron]

Popup OSD has been replaced by the new Lua OSD.

Taskcreate is supported natively.

Simple timer has been replaced by the Scheduler(Lua+Tree) or the Timer(Lua)

ButtonMode functionality is now built into Girder, see the Mapping functions. (Generate Repeat/Release)

[djcarl]

I'll look into it...Thanks for the info.

I'm not a LUA kinda guy so I like the interfaces that have toggles and such...Easier for the above average Girder user...Guess I have to learn LUA a little more....

[djcarl]

OK Ron... how do you get the mapping functions to work to replace button mode. I see the generate repeat/release but how do I assign it like button mode?

I'm lost on this one.

[Ron]

I am not sure what you mean by assign it. Can you explain?

[djcarl]

In button mode (Girder 3.3) I created 3 seperate post message commands (keypress, keyrelease, keyheld, each with a wparam, iparam and message number). Then in the event section I used button mode and assigned each of the three post messages functions to the button commands with a timeout of 400ms and a held action of 300ms.

This is the only way I have found to control an application because it looks for all three post message commands. (Can you say PITA)

So how do I use the mapping functions to do this and put it into Girder?

[Promixis]

Not sure what you mean...

How are you sending the commands?

In a macro?

[djcarl]

Here is some screen shots of what I do.

I have to create 3 commands using post/send message. This is a command for fast forward on a MP3 player. Since the mouse remote does not send keydown, keyheld, and keyrelease I have to emulate them because this program PCDJ is looking for those keystrokes. Then I use buttonmode to send those commands when I press the remote key.

[Promixis]

Why not put the send message commands into a macro with the 3 post message actions?

[Promixis]

Plus, try G4's new keyboard routines...

[Bartman]

the UIRT2 PlugIn also works, but because of the missing GUI ist is impossilble to configure IR Transmitting and Using the extra outputs.
This is the only plugin I'm missing right now. But I've heard it is on someone's todo list ;).

[Ron]

Carl, Girder does have this functionality. Instead of calling a node on repeat/release as buttonmode does, Girder has separate events for this.

[djcarl]

HOw does this work. Remember I'm using the Mouseremote that does not send keyup.

The remote only sends keypress. I then have to interprete this with timers (as in the buttonmode) to see if the key is held then released. It's tricky.

I'm all ears and open to suggestions as to a better method.

It's really easy with the RW2 and firefly since then send the all they types of press's on the remotes.

[Promixis]

I am still not sure why you need to attach them to seperate events..

Just send the commands in order from a macro.

Or try the new keyboard routines...

Girder can make your remote generate down up repeat events using mapping if you need..

[djcarl]

Mike C.

Macro? Is this in 3.3? I've not used that. or cannot find it. That might be better.

I'll look into this more but I'm a little confused at this point. The program I'm controlling desires the keyheld to be streamed to it (repeated) but I have not tried just sending it once. Day by Day i'm playing with 4 and finding alt ways but it's slow....just not enogh time in the day.

Thanks for some ideas.

[Promixis]

It looks to me like you are just sending 3 sendmessage commands in order right?

[djcarl]

I send the keypress command with the initial press.

While held if the timer is reset I streem keyheld command constantly..

If the timer expires I send the key release command.

The x10 mouse remote while a button is held just sends the keydown command repeatedly. The program is looking for all three commands. I would assume that the program would only need to see the keyheld command once (i'll see if I can try this).

Thanks.

[Promixis]

Girder can make your remote generate up/down/repeat events.

Look at the event mapping window bottom right hand corner.
