Coding Snacks / ETC : Emerge Tasks Companion
« on: November 09, 2008, 03:48 PM »
I've been trying Emerge for quite some time now and i happen to enjoy it. However, a feature (provided by 3rd party software Taskbar Shuffle) i missed really badly was to be able to close programs by middle-clicking their button in the taskbar. So i created this little script to enable this feature with emerge.

ETC :

It works very well on my system, but as Emerge Tasks and Emerge Tray have the same class name, i recommand you don't middle-click on your system tray to avoid unwanted events (nothing bad though).

Developer's Corner / Dumdum - Aero Shake clone project in AHK (was : Minimizing all windows[...])
« on: November 09, 2008, 03:25 PM »
(sorry if i'm posting this in the wrong section)

I'm working on a new ahk script and i'm pretty happy with what i've done so far. However, i'm facing a problem and as i didn't get much help from the autohotkey forum, i thought i'd ask my donationcoder buddies :)

Problem :

I'm trying to minimize all windows except the active one, using the following piece of code :
[Select]
Winget, activeId, id, A
Winget, winlist, list
loop %winlist%
{
  winid := winlist%A_Index%
  Wingettitle, wintitle, ahk_id %winid%
 
  if (strlen(wintitle) != 0 and winid != activeId and wintitle != "Program Manager")
  {
    PostMessage, 0x112, 0xF020,,, ahk_id %winid%
  }
}

The problem with this method is that it works well with some windows (they stay visible while the other ones get minimized) but it doesn't work with others (ie Freecommander, Pspad), who get minimized anyway. I tried to modify the code to minimize the active window only, and it worked fine except with the program mentionned earlier.

Anyway, my goal is to minimize all windows except the active one, and i'm out of ideas. I tried to WinMinimizeAll and then to bring the active window back, but it makes the window disappear for a moment, plus WinMinimizeAll doesn't work for people using Emerge shell (like myself). Sending #d or #m doesn't work for the same reasons.

If anyone has any idea, i'd be really glad to hear it :)

Thanks.

Circle Dock / Feature request : middle click launch shortcut and let CircleDock opened
« on: October 31, 2008, 12:31 PM »
Well, the title says it all :) When Windows starts, there are a few programs i always launch (Firefox, Thunderbird, FeedDemon). I usually use Circle Dock to start them, but every time i click an icon, Circle Dock disappears and i have to call it back. It'd be great if one could middle-click an icon so it launches the shortcut and lets CircleDock visible so you can click another one.

This said, great program ! :)

Living Room / Flash game : Fantastic contraption

A great physics game : given basic elements (wheels, motors, sticks etc), you have to build a machine that will take an object to a goal. Sounds easy ? It's not ! Sounds boring ? It's NOT !

If you enjoyed Phun, you should love this game.

General Software Discussion / Monitor system changes
« on: March 25, 2008, 02:01 PM »
I'm wondering if there's a way to monitor system changes (file writing, registry modification etc) done by softwares. In fact, i'd like to be able to launch my Wacom tablet control panel (yes, again), change a property and get a log of the operations induced by this action (modification to a file or the registry or whatever).

Which software could i use ?

Thanks.
