Finished Programs / Re: Space + click on file reveals "Open With" list of programs
« Last post by skwire on May 24, 2010, 03:08 PM »
This is easily done.  However, some thoughts as to how to implement it:

1) As an executable that you can pass a filename to.  The user will have to determine how to get and pass the filename.
2) As a slightly more complete application that includes a hotkey and path-getting capabilities.  For this, though, the utility will need to stay running.  Also, there is no one good way to get a filename/path so that's why I like to leave it up to the user (and their computer).

Your thoughts?

the non-performance of the native WIndows hotkey feature
-rjbull (May 23, 2010, 04:22 PM)

I've always found the native feature kind of iffy.

Likewise.  I gave up using the native shortcut keys back under Windows 98.

    + Added up/down toolbar buttons to move a contiguous selection up/down through the list.
    + Pressing Enter will now play the selected file.
    + Added a "Save selected rows to playlist" option (.m3u only).  (Thanks, Curt)
    ! Fixed a .wpl playlist parsing issue.  (Thanks, Curt)

The playlist file is situated in the main music directory on my C: drive together with some of the audio files
-Curt (May 22, 2010, 05:21 PM)

I need to know the exact structure since the .wpl file is using relative paths.  For instance:

..\Cock Robin\Unknown Album\04-Just Around The Corner-Cock Robin-unknown album.mp3

At the very least, I need to know the full path to that .wpl file as well as that file above.

The two files in that playlist from your D: drive are fully pathed so those should show up in PlayTime, at least.  Do they?

1) re-edited: my PlayTime cannot read .wpl!?
-Curt (May 22, 2010, 04:56 AM)

I'll be the first to admit that my support of .wpl files is FAR from complete.  Would you mind posting or PM'ing me that .wpl file?

2) I see PlayTime already is able of exporting as .CSV files, so I wonder how little (much) it would take to make it capable of CREATING playlists? Or is that an all different game? The PlayTime name would still be perfect...
-Curt (May 22, 2010, 04:56 AM)

Sure, exporting as simple .m3u file is very easy since it's just a list of filename/paths.  Would that be acceptable?

Put a volume let's say on 11, then open minibar and it shows pre-set volume level at around 70 or so. They should be synchronized to show same volume from the start.

Thanks for the bug report.

If you move Trout minibar around, what is that object that shows up near the fish icon and starts moving when you move your mouse?
-panzer (May 11, 2010, 02:55 AM)

The tooltip, perhaps?  If so, it displays the currently playing track using the Titlebar formatting string.

You can then try the ControlSend command for sending keys to a particular process.  Controlling a web browser in this manner can be an exercise in frustration, however.

You had the right idea...just use the Gui, Show line.

Code: AutoIt [Select]
  1. ; Use...
  2. Gui, Show, % "x " . x . " y " . y, Kruskal ; I prefer this method which uses a forced expression.
  3. ; Or...
  4. Gui, Show, x%x% y%y%, Kruskal ; When you're first learning AHK, this method probably seems easier.

It is rather simple since Serenity wrapped the functions nicely.  Simply add the following function definitions to the BOTTOM of your script:

Code: AutoIt [Select]
  1. RestoreCursors()
  2. {
  3.    SPI_SETCURSORS := 0x57
  4.    DllCall( "SystemParametersInfo", UInt,SPI_SETCURSORS, UInt,0, UInt,0, UInt,0 )

  44.          uType := 0x1

  64.          {
  65.             Type = BlankCursor
  66.             %Type%%A_Index% := DllCall( "CreateCursor"
  67.             , Uint,0, Int,0, Int,0, Int,32, Int,32, Uint,&AndMask, Uint,&XorMask )
  68.             CursorHandle := DllCall( "CopyImage", Uint,%Type%%A_Index%, Uint,0x2, Int,0, Int,0, Int,0 )
  69.             DllCall( "SetSystemCursor", Uint,CursorHandle, Int,SubStr( A_Loopfield, 1, 5 ) )
  70.          }        
  71.          Else If SystemCursor = 1
  72.          {
  73.             Type = SystemCursor
  74.             CursorHandle := DllCall( "LoadCursor", Uint,0, Int,CursorID )  
  75.             %Type%%A_Index% := DllCall( "CopyImage"
  76.             , Uint,CursorHandle, Uint,0x2, Int,cx, Int,cy, Uint,0 )      
  77.             CursorHandle := DllCall( "CopyImage", Uint,%Type%%A_Index%, Uint,0x2, Int,0, Int,0, Int,0 )
  78.             DllCall( "SetSystemCursor", Uint,CursorHandle, Int,SubStr( A_Loopfield, 1, 5 ) )
  79.          }
  80.          Else If FileCursor = 1
  81.          {
  82.             Type = FileCursor
  83.             %Type%%A_Index% := DllCall( "LoadImageA"
  84.             , UInt,0, Str,Cursor, UInt,uType, Int,cx, Int,cy, UInt,0x10 )
  85.             DllCall( "SetSystemCursor", Uint,%Type%%A_Index%, Int,SubStr( A_Loopfield, 1, 5 ) )        
  86.          }        
  87.       }
  88.    }  
  89. }

Then, to change the cursor, do the following:

Code: AutoIt [Select]
  1. Cursor := "C:\path\to\my\cursor.cur"
  2. SetSystemCursor( Cursor )

Or:

Code: AutoIt [Select]
  1. SetSystemCursor( "C:\path\to\my\cursor.cur" )

To restore the cursor, simply do:

Code: AutoIt [Select]
  1. RestoreCursors()
