[Solved] Switch button / external script result

[YPO]

Hello everyone !

I need a little bit of help to create my first skin.

• What I want to do:
  A switch button to activate/deactivate Wifi MAC Filter.
  (I have 2 python scripts that work well : one to get the filter status, and another one to switch it ON/OFF.)
  It should work that way:
  • Have the "get filter status" python script run every 10 sec.
  • Display an image depending on that python script result.
  • Execute the "filter switch" script when clicking on that image.
• What my rainmeter looks like at the moment (there are certainly a lot of things I don't do the right way, but I'm ready to learn!):

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=10000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1


[getFilter]
;how can I run this every 10 seconds?
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RunCommand
Parameter=python.exe #@#Scripts\getFilter.py
State=Hide

[switchFilter]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RunCommand
Parameter=python.exe #@#Scripts\switchFilter.py
State=Hide

[MeasureImage]
MeasureName=getFilter
IfMatch=True
IfMatchAction=[!SetOption MeterImage ImageName #@#Images\wifiON.ico]
IfMatchAction=[!SetOption MeterImage ImageName #@#Images\wifiOFF.ico]
;IfMatchMode=1

[MeterImage]
Meter=Image
;default image to be displayed at the beginnig in case getFilter did not run yet
ImageName=#@#Images\wifi.ico
W=32
H=32
X=0
Y=0
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure switchFilter "Run"]

Thanks in advande for you help!

I forgot to mention

• what works:
  • The default image loads correctly (#@#Images\wifi.ico)
  • When I click on it, the "switch filter" is executed correctly
• and what doesn't work:
  • The "get filter status" script is never executed
  • Obviously, the image doesn't change

Finally solved it by myself.
I corrected a few things:

• put the if/else in [getFilter] measure;
• removed the [measureImage] section;
• added OnUpdateAction in [Rainmeter] section.

Don't know if that can help, but I put my final code here:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1
OnUpdateAction=[!CommandMeasure "getFilter" "Run"]

[getFilter]
UpdateDivider=1
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RunCommand
Parameter=python.exe #@#Scripts\getFilter.py
State=Hide
OutputType=ANSI
IfMatch=True
IfMatchAction=[!SetOption MeterImage ImageName #@#Images\wifiON.ico]
IfNotMatchAction=[!SetOption MeterImage ImageName #@#Images\wifiOFF.ico]

[switchFilter]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=RunCommand
Parameter=python.exe #@#Scripts\switchFilter.py
State=Hide

[MeterImage]
Meter=Image
ImageName=#@#Images\wifi.ico
W=32
H=32
X=0
Y=0
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure switchFilter "Run"]
