Getting window handle of skin

[death.crafter]

In this code, you need to break up "Focus" and "ConfigName" into two separate arguments. Although I'm not sure I see the need for the "Focus" argument. Isn't giving focus to a skin based on ConfigName the entire point of the plugin?

Code: Select all

HWND GetSkinWindow(const wchar_t* configName)
{
	HWND trayWnd = FindWindow(L"RainmeterTrayClass", NULL);
	if (trayWnd)
	{
		COPYDATASTRUCT cds;
		cds.dwData = 5101;
		cds.cbData = (DWORD)(wcslen(configName) + 1) * sizeof(wchar_t);
		cds.lpData = (void*)configName;
		return (HWND)SendMessage(trayWnd, WM_COPYDATA, 0, (LPARAM)&cds);
	}

	return NULL;
}

PLUGIN_EXPORT double ExecuteBang(void* data, LPCWSTR args)
{
	Measure* measure = (Measure*)data;
	if (args != L"Focus") {
		HWND hwnd = GetSkinWindow(args);
		if (hwnd == NULL) {
				RmLog(LOG_ERROR, args);
				RmLog(LOG_ERROR, L"Focus.dll: Please provide valid config!");
				return 0.0;
		}
		else {
				SetActiveWindow(hwnd);
				return 1.0;
		}
	}
	else if (args == L"Focus") {
		SetActiveWindow(measure->windowHandle);
		return 1.0;
	}
}

I changed it but still it logs errors.

I am dumb lol. So sorry for wasting your time.

I was using the wrong parameters for the whole time.

Instead of using the config name I was using path to config file.

Thank you for your time.

So you got it working the way you want?

I'm betting that this whole thing could be done in Powershell without needing a plugin.

Yes. Actually what I wanted to do was achieved in the first try(focus on refresh).

I just wanted to make it cross-config compatible.

Yes but it takes a while.

I opened a thread here:

https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=119&t=37968

But the downside is, if the said skin wasn't in focus right before you execute it, or just refreshed, it wouldn't work because I use MainWindowTitle to get filter the results.

That's why I wanted to get the window handle. I am not sure if I can put the C++ code in powershell tho.

Seems like something like this might work:

$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell
$wshell.AppActivate('C:\Users\JSMorley\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\JSMeter\System\System.ini')

The WindowTitle of a skin is the full path to the .ini file.

Hmm looks good.

But this won't be instantaneous and also would be resource consuming if used with RunCommand. Escpecially with mouseoveractions and stuff.

I have an ahk executable but since some av software pick it up as antivirus I don't wanna use that. So a plugin.

My first plugin works. Hmm not bad.

Fair enough...

is it possible to get the handler of a image meter?
