SendMessage Problem.

[danward79]

Hi

I am using Sendmessage action to control sage tv, and out of all the commands, 1 is not working, it does work from G3.3.

I am wondering if there is a weird problem with G4?

I am using the following in the action,

Message = 6
WParam = 1258
IParam = 1

If I use any other Message it works for instance 7, 59, etc

from lua or the action tree?

[danward79]

The Action tree. and I thought I would try lua, but none work there. probably me

[danward79]

Do you have any ideas, about what the problem could be?

so, it worked from 3.3 but doesn't with 4 either lua or action tree?

yeah, it is fine in G3,

1. I have tried using the g3 gml imported, into g4 (i.e. Legacy G3 Actions)all but pause works

2. Setting up new action, again all but pause works (i.e. Using G4's SendMessage / postmessage action)

3. tried using lua and win.sendmessage. This did not work for any command.

what are you doing for targeting when using lua?

Hi Mike,

Sorry I was typing one handed again, baby in the other.... So was lazy.

I am using the following.

thewin = win.FindWindow("SageApp", "SageWin")
	
print (thewin)

print(win.SendMessage(thewin,59,1258,0))

For pause it should be 6 instead of 59.

, I am pretty good at that too

So it works for all other commands except the one? I cannot make sense of that!

[danward79]

yeah the actions work for all but pause.

3. tried using lua and win.sendmessage. This did not work for any command.

The lua works for none. I can't either

:roll:

I have been trying it for weeks with at least 2 versions of G4
