Displaying Maximum value as a numerical value?

[Virogenesis]

Hello, I wrote a C++ plugin for the rainmeter and I am returning a maximum value with the initialize function which is useful for the bar display, but I was wondering is there any way to display in a numerical form the INT I get back from that function as well as using it in a bar ?

Thank you very much for the reply.

If I understood correct, you want to display the value returned in Initialize()?

Yes, is it possible ?

Yes, although you'd have to handle it on the C++ side. For example, you could have:

Code: Select all

[mPlayer]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=MyPlugin.dll
MyType=MaxValue

Then:
- Initialize(): Get MyType= and store it somewhere (lets say A). If A is MaxValue, then also store the max value in B.
- Update()/GetStringValue(): If A is MaxValue, then return B. Otherwise return something else.

For an example, you could check PowerPlugin.cpp.
