Another Language for Addin Rainmeter?

Post by gtdcomputer »

Have any way to use another languague for Rainmeter Addin? I not good in C. Have any way to use Java or Visual Basic Dll for this.

Another novice question: Can Rainmeter get log file created by another apps? By this way I don't need to make Addin for it. EX:
- I click on a Rainmeter button.
- It run a app (ex: Svol.exe to get Volume information). This app will save info to a log file by simple format.
- Can Rainmeter get this info and use it for Measue?

Thanks for read! Sory about my English :oops:

Rainmeter plugins have mostly been written in C, C++, and C#. I would assume that VB is also possible as VB.NET and C# produce the same bytecode, but you'd have to port the C# template over to VB.

As the log question, yes, this is possible. You could eother use QuotePlugin.dll or WebParser.dll (with the file:// prefix).

Thanks for advanced!
I'm new in Rainmeter. Maybe must learn more about QuotePlugin.dll. I see some skins used this. It auto refresh resurlt. If you have some free time, can you plan me some example code for log ? :D

Any way, thanks for helped!
