Little help

Post by JamX »

Hallo everybody,

Could you have a look at my weatherskin.

I have added a context menu to it so I can select a "location" to see the weather and the wind conditions

The weather part is working fine, when I select a different city the weather data of that city is displayed.
The wind part is not working, when I select a different city the wind info of the first city is shown. The wind data is not updated, even with the commandmeasure "update" bangs
(To see the windpart hover over the x kts text box)

I have used

Code: Select all

MiddleMouseUpAction=[!SkinCustomMenu]
ContextTitle="-- Locations --"
ContextAction=[]
ContextTitle2=---
ContextAction2=[]
ContextTitle3="• Landgraaf"
;ContextAction3=[!Setvariable Latitude 50.8871][!Setvariable Longitude 6.0116][!Setvariable URLSite "https://weather.com/#Language#/weather/today/l/50.8871,6.0116"][!Commandmeasure @EntireSiteSuperParent "Update"]
ContextAction3=[!Setvariable Latitude 50.8871][!Setvariable Longitude 6.0116][!Setvariable URLSite "https://weather.com/#Language#/weather/today/l/50.8871,6.0116"][!Setvariable URLWind "https://www.windfinder.com/forecast/kerkrade"][!Commandmeasure @EntireSiteSuperParent "Update"][!Commandmeasure MeasureWindInfo "Update"][!Commandmeasure MeasureWindInfo4 "Update"]
ContextTitle4="• Oolderplas"
ContextAction4=[!Setvariable Latitude 51.1796][!Setvariable Longitude 5.9429][!Setvariable URLSite "https://weather.com/#Language#/weather/today/l/51.1796,5.9429"][!Setvariable URLWind "https://www.windfinder.com/forecast/olderplas_ool"][!Commandmeasure @EntireSiteSuperParent "Update"][!Commandmeasure MeasureWindInfo "Update"][!Commandmeasure MeasureWindInfo4 "Update"]
ContextTitle5="• Brouwersdam"
ContextAction5=[!Setvariable Latitude 51.7563][!Setvariable Longitude 3.8402][!Setvariable URLSite "https://weather.com/#Language#/weather/today/l/51.7563,3.8402"][!Setvariable URLWind "https://www.windfinder.com/forecast/renesse_kabbelarsbank"][!Commandmeasure @EntireSiteSuperParent "Update"][!Commandmeasure MeasureWindInfo "Update"][!Commandmeasure MeasureWindInfo4 "Update"]
ContextTitle6=---
ContextAction6=[]
Here is the package:

Add DynamicVariables=1 to the MeasureWindInfo and MeasureWindInfo4 measures in your associated .inc file. That should do it, as far as I can see.

Other little question

Is it possible when you have a 'sliding' window to refresh it on middle mouse button action and directly let it slide out?

Like:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
MiddleMouseUpAction=[!Refresh][!CommandMeasure "MeasureSlide" "Execute 1"][!CommandMeasure "MeasureSlide" "Stop 2"]
The refesh bang works but the slide does not slide OUT.

Hi JamX

!Refresh bang reloads the whole skin, so two !CommandMeasure bangs after !Refresh bang do nothing.
What actually do you want to do with "refresh"??

EDIT: I am not sure but... what if MiddleMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure "MeasureSlide" "Execute 1"][!CommandMeasure "MeasureSlide" "Stop 2"][!Update][!Redraw]?

It's a skin with a stock quote:
Capture.JPG
Sometimes the green or red color, depending if the stock is higher or lower then previous closing date is not displayed correctly. It's white for some kind of a reason I do not know. After I refresh the skin the colors are OK again but then I have to slide the skin OUT manually.

Mak_kawa is perfectly right, a skin refresh won't do anything, since the middle mouse click is not "remembered" on refresh, since it belongs to the previous "load session", if you know what I mean. But then, you probably want to update the WebParser measure and slide out on that click, so yeah, it's obviously possible - it's about using the command measure update for the WebParser and stopping and executing the appropriate slides.

One other thing ... I'm not sure that executing an AT action before stopping the previous one makes much sense, in my view it could actually create problems. The whole point of this set of commands is to stop whatever animation is happening and let the desired one to run. The former must happen before the former to achieve something useful, as doing the reverse (like in your code above) has the potential to make the animations overlap.

I'd add the following option to the [Rainmeter] section: OnRefreshAction=[!CommandMeasure "MeasureSlide" "Execute 1"][!CommandMeasure "MeasureSlide" "Stop 2"].

I removed the unneeded refresh and replaced it with updating things and sliding out, added the needed update meter and redraw bangs in [UpDownSteady1], and moved a measure lost between meters back to where it should have been (sorry, but had to improve clarity).
