JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: Somehow, I broke Gridmove...

« Last post by jgpaiva on January 18, 2011, 10:32 AM »

Ok, so it gets up to "reading the grid file" and then it crashes?
Just to make sure, the about window does not up on start, right?
Are you able to test the source version of GridMove? You just need to download and install autohotkey, then download GridMove's source here and run GridMoveP1.ahk.
If this also doesn't work, we can edit the code and add more debug information to detect exactly where it is hanging up.

Thank you very much for your time!

Hi timns!

I've been absent from DC for a while, and now found this thread.
I think you should add some description (or at least a link to a description) on the first post of this thread, so that people may know what Auspex is
Also, linking the review article on the first post too might be nice

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: Somehow, I broke Gridmove...

« Last post by jgpaiva on January 18, 2011, 05:29 AM »

incredible, I have no idea why that happens.
The only thing that occuors to me is changing "GridName=Grids/3-part.grid" to "GridName=3-part" so that it'll use the hardcoded default.
Also, let's see if there's any relation to any of the other options.
Please try setting LButtonDra, MButtonDrag, EdgeDrag, UseCommand,UseFastMove,ShowGroupsFlag and ShowNumbersFlag to 0, and iniversion to 13.

Sorry about this, I've had complaints about this but I could never reproduce the bug, so I must ask you for your help.

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: Changing numbers color?

« Last post by jgpaiva on January 16, 2011, 07:14 AM »

Hi,
To be honest, I never considered a way to change the color of the text, since it took me some time to find a color that would work decently with the transparency, IIRC.
So, unfortunately this color is hardcoded in the code and there is no way to change it.

The error means it didn't find the grids, which is expected since you deleted them.
Does GridMove become unresponsive after you press OK on that dialog?

Can you pease try this:
1 - uninstall gridmove
2 - remove the whole folder in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\DonationCoder\GridMove
3 - install GridMove again

what happens? which grid does it attempt to load when you start it for the first time? does it create the folder in appdata? is there a GridMove.ini in that folder? what's the grid selected in GridMove.ini?

Hi!

I am not sure why it's freezing, but it's related to the xrundemo, that's for sure. It is freezing when it starts because it atempts to load the gridmove.ini config. You can find it in C:\Documents and Settings \<YOUR USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\GridMove\GridMove.ini. After you delete it, all should be back to normal

Personally, I think it's a good thing when a competitor recognizes your existence and needs to take measures to sell more than you, it means you're making something right

Hi dragon788!
Unfortunately, I can't compile the script right now as I'm now a Mac user. However, if someone is able to compile the script, I've attached the .ahk version with the fix you requested to this post.

ps: another option is for you to install autohotkey and just run the file I attached to this post.

After reading this, a question popped in my mind: how can the other vendor confirm that the user has a valid version of your software? If you're using a key-based authentication, nothing stops a user from just providing a random key.
I guess this would be a problem if you were to employ the same discounted price.

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: grid for one vertical and one horizontal monitor?

« Last post by jgpaiva on January 06, 2011, 04:44 AM »

That's a really neat setup you've got, jcollum.
As I have never used a vertical monitor, I didn't bother with making a grid for such setup.
If someone else doesn't step in with a new grid and you end up doing a new one, don't forget to share it

« Last post by jgpaiva on December 20, 2010, 05:37 AM »

Hi!

I see the problem. It is related with changing resolutions. I fixed this sometime in the past by forcing GridMove to reload every time it found a change in resolution. However, it caused more trouble than benefit and I ended up disabling that part of the code

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: GridMove Grid Making Tutorial

« Last post by jgpaiva on October 24, 2010, 12:44 PM »

Hi Iskander71.

You have to place the new gird you made (you may call it "newgrid.grid") at gridmove's grid folder, which should be at C:\Programs\Gridmove\Grids\
Then, You may start Gridmove and select "newgrid.grid" from the "templates" menu (right-click the blue gridmove icon to find the menu).

Okay, thanks jgpaiva (wasn't sure if you were still regularly around).

-nudone (September 01, 2010, 04:00 AM)

Unfortunatelly, I'm not, but I still follow this thread, trying to help with that I can

i'm sure there will be an autohotkey script that already does this so i'll have a search for it - i was just trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel if GridMove did it already.

-nudone (September 01, 2010, 04:00 AM)

It shouldn't be hard to find a ahk script that centers a window, it's really simple. If you can't find one, I'm sure someone in the coding snacks area could do one easily
Also, if you know how to use the "Run" grid element, you can call the ahk script directly from gridmove

Hi nudone!
IIRC, there's no way to do that, even though it does sound like something one would look for

Hi,

1- On line 618, I insert the text. The command used is

[Select]

Gui, add, text, BackgroundTrans cFFD300, TEXT HERE

That should do it, right?

2- Line 712 changes this color, you just need to change the color to anything else;)
This should work:

[Select]

Gui, 2:color, FFFF00

Halbyrd: could you send me the grid and describe the behaviour you were expecting?

geraldzjh: using always on top again should work, it is supposed to "toggle always on top".

Hi krusader23.
Try re-installing gridmove, and instead of renaming the grids, just make a copy with a new name.
You don't need to edit the .ini, just add the file to the grids/ folder and then select the grid from the templates menu (after selecting "refresh this menu").

GridMove works in Windows 7, but for some applications you may need to set compatibility mode to Windows XP

IIRC, using a bitmap with a solid color and stretching it for the length of the grid was faster than repeating it though the whole line.

I have never testes what you mentioned in your post. Might be faster to render, though.
I know there's some way to paint text with another color, I even used it to paint the letters on the grid with red.

Btw: Just tested GridMove with my Win7 x64 and a non-admin user account and UAC @ standard. Seems it works without any problems.

Cool, I have observed some strange behaviour (specifically with windows live messenger) in such setting, though
