2 Questions

[motionman95]

1.) I have a keyListerner in flash. I noticed it doesn't work when the window is hidden or when the window isn't focused on. Is there a way to have the keyListener work even if the window is hidden or not focused on? I have a tray icon, should it run the script?

2.) I noticed that shadows (under menus, and the right-click menu on the desktop, etc.) freeze when a window is hidden, meaning that they stay there after the menu is gone. Why is this?

Thank you in advance.

1. Yes, the window can only receive keyboard input when it has focus, i.e. the keystrokes are for the window has keystroke focus. If your window is hidden, you can only define some hot key combinations for it.

2. Can you post a screen shot. Thanks.

1.) How can I do that?

2.) Screenshot attached.

New questions:

3.) Can you make the balloon tip appear in other places instead of on the tray icon?

4.) How to keep the getWindowsName() method constantly updated.

5.) How to use the code here(to get battery charge) and here (to uninstall a device) with the ScriptHost? I tried to play around with it, but no luck...

6.) How to rename the extention of an ico file? Not convert it, but just change the end ".ico" part to jpeg

I have noticed that it takes a long time to get responses around here. Maybe we should just email them instead... :-*

Usually I have much more patience, but it has been almost a week. Can I please get a reply?

1.

dllimport "user32.dll" stdcall Boolean RegisterHotKey(pointer, int, unsigned int, unsigned int);
dllimport "user32.dll" stdcall Boolean UnregisterHotKey(pointer, int);
dllimport "kernel32.dll" stdcall int GlobalAddAtomA(String);

var id = GlobalAddAtomA("My hot key identifier");
// registers hot key 'CTRL+ALT+Z"
RegisterHotKey(getMainWnd().handle, id, /*MOD_CONTROL | MOD_ALT*/2 | 1, /*VK_Z*/0x5A);

getMainWnd().onClose = function () {
	UnregisterHotKey(this.handle, id);
}

// handles the hot key message
getMainWnd().onMessage = function (msg, wparam, lparam) {
	if (msg == /*WM_HOTKEY*/0x312 && wparam == id) {
		Dialogs.msgBox("The hot key combination has been pressed!");
	}
}

2. Can you send us the exe file? We need further testing. Thank you.

3. yes, but too complicated to do that in ffish script

4. calling it constantly.

5. 1) PowerStatus: that's a .NET 2 property, which cannot be called in ffish script. You will have to use Win32 API instead

struct {
 unsigned char  ACLineStatus;     
 unsigned char  BatteryFlag;     
 unsigned char  BatteryLifePercent;  
 unsigned char  Reserved1;      
 unsigned long BatteryLifeTime;   
 unsigned long BatteryFullLifeTime; 
} SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS;

dllimport "kernel32.dll" stdcall Boolean GetSystemPowerStatus(SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS*);
var output = new Object;
output.value = new Struct(SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS);

GetSystemPowerStatus(output);
trace(output.value.BatteryLifePercent);

2) devcon is a command line tool, you can call it by using the "Shell.run" method.

6.

// rename a file
function changeExt(fileName, newExt) {
	var f = new File(fileName);
	var pp = f.parentPath;
	var name = f.name;
	
	var index = name.lastIndexOf(".");
	if (index >= 0) {
		var newname = name.substring(0, index + 1);
		newname += newExt;
		f.move(pp + "\\" + newname);
		
	} else {
		name += "." + newExt;
		f.move(pp + "\\" + name);
	}
}

changeExt("c:\\url.txt", "jpg");

In flash

import flash.external.*;

function onHotKey() {
  text = flash;
  myfakewindow._alpha = 0;
}
ExternalInterface.addCallback("flash_onHotKey", null, onHotKey);

In the "initialize" script of swfkit

Application.registerASMethods("flash_onHotKey");

dllimport "user32.dll" stdcall Boolean RegisterHotKey(pointer, int, unsigned int, unsigned int);
dllimport "user32.dll" stdcall Boolean UnregisterHotKey(pointer, int);
dllimport "kernel32.dll" stdcall int GlobalAddAtomA(String);

var id = GlobalAddAtomA("My hot key identifier");
// registers hot key 'CTRL+ALT+Z"
RegisterHotKey(getMainWnd().handle, id, /*MOD_CONTROL | MOD_ALT*/2 | 1, /*VK_Z*/0x5A);

getMainWnd().onClose = function () {
	UnregisterHotKey(this.handle, id);
}

// handles the hot key message
getMainWnd().onMessage = function (msg, wparam, lparam) {
	if (msg == /*WM_HOTKEY*/0x312 && wparam == id) {
		flash_onHotKey();
	}
}

My source files are to big! Even when ziipped! What do I do?

And...How can I make it so that the user only has to press one key instead of three?

Thanks!,

It is hard for only pressing one key. A hook dll might be necessary.

So you'll get back to me later?? ???
