Create "scrollbar"

[raziel_albinus]

Hello,

I am French, sorry for the bad language used.


I want to create a scrollbar on the right of the pictures. Each image will be an icon that will launch a program or a game.
The scrollbar will move from one image to another.

Or does bring up an image at a time and when I click on an arrow it shows me the an other image.

I do not know or find in the manual an help or it done another way to achieve that.




Thank.

I'm not sure I exactly understood what you'd like, but if I'm not wrong, here's a solution:

You'll have a vertical scrollbar on the right side of the screen and an image. You should use ImageName options on [MeterImage0], ... ,[MeterImage4], instead of SolidColor. Also, add the LeftMouseUpAction on each of those five image meters, to can open the needed game/app with each of them.

[raziel_albinus]

Thank you very much, it's almost that. I have to move the scrollbar with the middlemouse and not the arrows.

So, I do this but I would like the Mouse action zone be the image.
What I do is probably to rewrite properly.

[Mr. Spock]

Just a qeustion if this is possible

I think people know about my HTPC screen, but i want to improve it.

I want to try to make a scrollbar that goes from right to left over the screen or the other way
If reaching the end of all the functions it returns to the first so it is like a lope
I want to place it making use of the whole horizontal screen width and if possible if using a other screen resolution it change accordingly
(with all the functions i want to place on the scrollbar i know it's gone be bigger as the screen width itself)
and if possible controled by the arrow keys of the keyboard
Indeed if the function i want to use is standing in the middle i want to show it as seen in the picture and i want to activate the function by pressing enter on the keyboard
Second qeustion is it also possible that the function is activate a rainmeter skinpart
So example if i scroll with the arrow keys to the weather function and i press enter it activate the weather skin ?

I know the noob has something crazy in his mind again
Just want to know if it's possible before i start on something that's out of reach

A few things about it:
1. This is a launcher skin. I used six image meters, which can be used to launch six apps. You can use some other meters, if you need so.
2. The NumOfImages variable represent the number of image meters. If you want to use less meters, fix the number. If you want to use more, you have to add the [MeterSoft6], ... meters to the code (be careful, first meter is [MeterSoft0], not [MeterSoft1]!) and also need to fix some minor things (like adding other IfConditions to the [MeasureAction] measure).
3. The XPosImg0 variable is the horizontal position of the first image meter.
4. The Action0, Action1 and so on variables, are the action asociated with each meter.
5. You can control the skin with mouse, mouse scroll and with the keyboard. Last possibility needs the HotKey plugin (by Brian - congratulations, it's a very useful and well made plugin). It is included into the attached installer package.
Despite it's not exactly what you asked for, I hope this skin will help you. Let me know if it is.

Thx Balala

Let's see if i can figur it out and get it to work as i have in my mind
It really come very close already.
Still a qeustion in a little test run i have the following problem
When using the left mouse it works great with the !ToggleConfig "New folder 1" "IMDB Rainmeter.ini"
It run the skin by clicking again it close.
Now i want to do the same when the icon is highlighted and i press enter
But when using Action1=[!ToggleConfig "New folder 1" "IMDB Rainmeter.ini] it opens the one before so the explorer but not the Imdb skin
Where do i go wrong ?

[balala]

The problem is that on my code, on the IfTrueAction option of the [MeasureAction] section, we have this bang: [!SetVariable Action "#Action0#"]. The Action0 variable you want to use, already contain quotation marks and if you want to use quotation marks inside other quotation marks, you have to use magic quotes. So, modify that bang on the IfTrueAction to this: [!SetVariable Action """#Action0#"""].

[Mr. Spock]

Sjips not smart in of yet

I edit your skin and the first work like a charm even the enter press work but the following one doen't work
Wher do i go wrong ?

Action0=[!ToggleConfig "ScrollBar\Buttons" "Buttons.ini"]
Action1=[!ToggleConfig "ScrollBar\IMDB" "Imdb.ini"]

IfTrueAction5=[!SetVariable Action "#Action4#"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureEnter"][!Redraw]
IfCondition6=(MeasureAction=5)
IfTrueAction6=[!SetVariable Action "#Action5#"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureEnter"][!Redraw]

[balala]

What you mean by "doesn't work"? It opens at least the Paint, Calculator or WMP? If it is but it don't unhide / hide the skins (just the !ToggleConfig bangs don't work), check if you have for sure the skins in the provided paths. For me, it's working with existing skins. One small issue you might have on the IfTrueAction4, because the Action3 variable, don't contain quotation marks, so, here you should remove the magic quotes, leaving just IfTrueAction4=[!SetVariable Action "#Action3#"][!UpdateMeasure "MeasureEnter"][!Redraw].
