Disable Measure apparently not working

[PinkRabi]

So I currently I have a gmail notifier skin which plays a random sound from a specific folder every time I get a new email. What I'm trying to do is have a button which disables the MakeSound measure so it stops producing sounds when I want it to. The code I have is shown below, however this doesn't appear to work, since sounds are still played whenever an email is received. Can anyone help me see where I have gone wrong? Is one of the first skins I've tinkered with and wondering if I've missed a trick with how to use bang or something.

Actually, dynamic measure cannot change a state directly by the bang.
If you add DynamicVariables=1 to the measure, it always repeats the update. It will return to a default state immediately even if you send !RainmeterDisableMeasure command.

The following is an example for solving this problem.

Code: Select all

[Variables]
@include=#SKINSPATH#\WP7\Common\Variables\UserVariables.inc
@include1=#SKINSPATH#\WP7\Panels\Mail\UserVariables.inc
Previous=0
state=0
;-------------------------------------

[MakeSound]
Measure=CALC
Formula=[MeasureNumber] - #Previous#
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=PLAY [Random]
PLAY #Random#
DynamicVariables=1
Disabled=#state#
;-------------------------------------
[SoundOff]
Meter=IMAGE
X=0
Y=0
ImageName=SoundOn.png
LeftMouseDownAction=!execute [!RainmeterSetVariable state 1][!RainmeterHideMeter SoundOff][!RainmeterShowMeter SoundOn][!RainmeterRedraw]

[SoundOn]
Meter=IMAGE
X=0
Y=0
ImageName=SoundOff.png
LeftMouseDownAction=!execute [!RainmeterSetVariable state 0][!RainmeterShowMeter SoundOff][!RainmeterHideMeter SoundOn][!RainmeterRedraw]
Hidden=1
