Hide and Show issues: disapeearing strings

Post by MatteoFlash »

Hi Guys,

I'm workin on a Temp plugin (with some suggestions from users in the Forum, very available with me).
I'm going to create two pages of measurement in the same Config:
- Page 1: instant measurements
- Page 2: minimum and maximum values

So I created two simple buttons, just to try:
[PageLeft]
Meter=String
Text=">"
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter CpuTempMinShow1][!RainmeterShowMeter CpuTempMaxShow1][!RainmeterHideMeter CPU1Graph1][!RainmeterHideMeter CPU1Graph2][!RainmeterHideMeter CPU1°][!RainmeterHideMeter PageLeft][!RainmeterShowMeter PageRight][!RainmeterRedraw]

[PageRight]
Meter=String
Hidden=1
SolidColor=0, 0, 0, 60
Text="<"
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHide CpuTempMinShow1][!RainmeterHideMeter CpuTempMinShow1][!RainmeterShowMeter CPU1Graph1][!RainmeterShowMeter CPU1Graph2][!RainmeterShowMeter CPU1°][!RainmeterShowMeter PageLeft][!RainmeterHideMeter PageRight]
CPU1Graph1, CPU1Graph2, CPU1° = config which I want to show in Page 1
CpuTempMinShow1, CpuTempMaxShow1 = config which I want to show in Page 2

Ignoring the formulas (created with the help of user kenz0), these are the tool I want to show up in the second page:
[CpuTempMinShow1]
MeasureName=CpuTempMin1
Meter=String
Text="%1°C"
DynamicVariables=1
Hidden=1

[CpuTempMaxShow1]
MeasureName=CpuTempMax1
Meter=String
Text="%1°C"
DynamicVariables=1
Hidden=1
I removed all esthetic settings to clean up the reading of the code.

The problem is that, when I clic on "PageLeft" showed as ">", Min and Max appear for a second til a next refresh, in which they disappear. Then, when I clic on "<" and again on ">", they reappear just until next refresh.

Am I wrong with some Redraw of the skin? (without RainmeterRedraw, it didn't work).

Ty all :)

Okey. I extract one measurement from the total Skin, so we can work easily.

EDIT: don't worry about (x,y) position of some strings, it's just because it's an extract of the total skin =)

This issue must already have been fixed.
Try updating to 1.2 if you are using Rainmeter1.1 or older.

I'm using Rainmeter v 1.2 rev 369 (32-bit) [Build on 07 April 2010] and I have Windows 7 64-bit.
Do you think it'd be better if I try the 64-bit version of Rainmeter?

EDIT: I've just followed your suggestion, I updated to a newer (June) 1.2 version of the app and it worked! Thanks a lot :D
