Num Variant , string show hide

[Teemodres]

When Refresh Num = 0
if i click Num = 1
If i click again Num = 2

always using batterypercent2

[Measurebatg]
Measure=Calc
Formula=#Num2#
IfCondition=(#Num1# < 1)
IfTrueAction=[!HideMeter MeterBatteryPercent2][!UpdateMeter MeterBatteryPercent2][!Redraw]
IfCondition2=(#Num1# > 1)
IfTrueAction2=[!ShowMeter MeterBatteryPercent2][!UpdateMeter MeterBatteryPercent2][!Redraw]

This dont work either

[fonpaolo]

Doing this one piece at a time, it's very difficult to understand.
Can you post the entire code using the

Code: Select all

 tags here, please?

[Teemodres]

oh ok. the entire statusbar is the .ini file but i grab just the battery icon's stuff :

Code: Select all

i really tried to say what is each tags with ; i really hope u can understand my concept yea i know this is very bad but im trying with a full statusbar

also big thanks for you (@fonpaolo) <3

I read just now the post and have a few things to clarify. Starting from the beginning:

• As fonpaolo said, the IfConditions are working on measures, not a meters (this had been fixed, in the meantime, I think).
• In the initial code, you had the following IfConditions:

  Code: Select all

  IfCondition=(#Num1# < 1)
  IfTrueAction=[!HideMeter MeterBatteryPercent2 ""]
  IfCondition2=(#Num1# = 2)
  IfTrueAction2=[!ShowMeter MeterBatteryPercent2 ""]

  These two conditions are not covering the situation when the value of the Num1 variable is 1, because (#Num1# < 1) means values up to 0 (not to 1!), while (#Num1# = 2) means exactly 2. So, what should have to happen, when Num1 is 1?
• The !HideMeter / !ShowMeter bangs posted in the following piece of code:

  Code: Select all

  IfCondition=(#Num1# < 1)
  IfTrueAction=[!HideMeter MeterBatteryPercent2 ""]
  IfCondition2=(#Num1# = 2)
  IfTrueAction2=[!ShowMeter MeterBatteryPercent2 ""]

  (https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?p=148046#p148046) are wrong. The last quotations are not needed (or have to be placed around the name of the meter):

  Code: Select all

  IfCondition=(#Num1# < 1)
  IfTrueAction=[!HideMeter "MeterBatteryPercent2"]
  IfCondition2=(#Num1# = 2)
  IfTrueAction2=[!ShowMeter "MeterBatteryPercent2"]

  (also noticed by fonpaolo)
• Although the [Measurebatg] measure is using the dynamically set Num1 variable, the DynamicVariables=1 option is missing there. Add it.

Now, beside posting the code, there would be needed a few images. Would be much easier for us (well, at least for me definitely) to help, if we'd have the needed resources. So, if still doesn't work properly, please pack the whole config and upload it.

[balala]

...but this: [!HideMeter MeterBatteryPercent2 ""] should be in this way:
[!HideMeter MeterBatteryPercent2]

...and probably, better to add:
[!UpdateMeter MeterBatteryPercent2][!Redraw]

The !UpdateMeter bang isn't needed, beside the !HideMeter. !Redraw eventually yes, but !UpdateMeter not.
It is not needed, because if you hide the meter, usually it doesn't have to be updated. On the other hand, when a meter hides (or shows up), the skin have to (can) be redrawn, that's why is a good idea to add the !Redraw bang.
When you're using the !ShowMeter (to show up the meter), then yes, many times is a good idea to update it (to appear updated), but not when you're hiding it.

Oh thx for reply !!

So i tried everything and yea NOW its works !! The problem was Dynamicvariables=1 , (#Num1# < 1) And UpdateMeter at Hiding .

Thanks Everything !
For fast responsible and for big help (@balala,@fonpaolo) <3

[balala]

The problem was Dynamicvariables=1 , (#Num1# < 1) And UpdateMeter at Hiding .

Ok, I'm glad if you got it working.
However, the !UpdateMeter added near the !HideMeter didn't cause any issue (it was not an issue which would have caused the skin to fail), the missing DynamicVariables=1 did.

Based on my experiences, sometimes it helps...
I don't know if, perhaps, I'm using too complex skins with a lot of bangs, or whatever, however, adding UpdateMeter could help.

Well, I'd say it doesn't, from my experience I didn't see a case when it did. As I said, with !ShowMeter, it definitely can do (many times, but not all times), but with !HideMeter...
Just think logically, if you hide a meter, why would you have to update it?

[fonpaolo]

Probably because I'm using Hide and Show at the same time in the same series of bangs, so an UpdateMeterGroup or UpdateMeter *, doesn't hurt...
As I said before, this is anything but the normality, but sometimes it helps.
