@mouser: wow hi!  Thanks (again and again) for your amazing software!

@skwire: wow this is really really close to what i'd want! I think it's very possible that I can take the script and prettify it with a shiny UI and I can be all set. (but I wouldn't really mind letting a better developer to do it and kindly give my donation.)

« on: July 27, 2009, 08:50 PM »

I have a netbook with a touchscreen, and I'm planning to turn it into a poor man's (not so poor) Optimus keyboard.

The idea is that the software server will run on the workstation, receiving commands entered from the software client that is running on the netbook, and then triggered the commands on the workstation accordingly.

Since AutoHotkey does not seem to support network, we might need to code a special utility to send keystrokes over LAN.

Any ideas?

Ah... After a few close observations, I found out that this line works:

if WindowTitle contains Youtube

but this line doesnt seem to work:

if (WindowClass = WMPlayerApp)

Any clues? 
Thanks!


EDIT: Aha! Got it, it should be:

if (WindowClass = "WMPlayerApp")

Hello, thanks again jgpaiva, I had a lot of fun with AHK. I have one more question...  I noticed that I seem to need to Show the "Noise!" window in order to have the Edit1 visible so that random keystrokes can be sent. I tried to modify it but I'm new to AHK... Is there a way so that I don't need to keep the window open? I'm using DimSaver.

OH MY GOD!!  Thanks a ton for the script!! I have been waiting for something like this for years. The annoyances of constantly exiting full screen mode will finally be gone. 

Upon further research, I noticed that most video sites use Flash anyway, and the Window Class of all fullscreen-ed Flash window is the same, so that I can do:

[Select]

if (WindowClass = ShockwaveFlashFullScreen)
  GoSub, MAKENOISE2

And as for WMP, I like to turn off Screen Saver only when full screen as well, and it has a different class:

[Select]

if (WindowClass = WMPTransition)
  GoSub, MAKENOISE2

Thanks so much for the help again!

It can be one of the options, and I think detecting if WMP is the active window is a clever way to determine if you're watching videos. 

And yeah, this idea is really for people who watches videos

Dunno if it has been implemented or suggested somewhere already, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to suggest it again.

Currently, we have TrayScreenSaver to manually turn on or off screensaver, but if you really think about it, most of the time we turn off screen saver according to the same logic all the time. For example, it will turn off when we browse Youtube, or when we have a video renderer running. Or for instance, it will turn off only when media player is playing video, but turn timer on when playing audio.

So the idea is, to have a software turning off the screensaver according to a set of rules set by the user. I understand that it is much harder to detect all these circumstances than it sounds, so here is my dissemination:

Example: Turn off Screen Saver on Youtube
Solution:
- Easy Way: Detect if any browsers are open, then see if the window title has the word "Youtube"
- Hard Way: Detect if any Flash ActiveX/plugin is running, and see if the src of the embed has "youtube.com"

This should also work for other video sites.

Example: Turn off Screen Saver when Windows Media Player is playing a video
Solution: This probably need a plugin in WMP to detect what is playing

Thanks! Looking forward to your input.
