Notes skin created by me not working

[Tejas]

Hye friends, I installed rainmeter just a week ago and created a skin for taking notes. When I click it a textbox appears and what I write is visible but after I press enter it disappears. Please help me out.

Here's the code :

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
AccurateText=1
DynamicWindowSize=1

[Variables]
CurrentInput=""

[Main]
Meter=String
Text=#CurrentInput#
H=120
W=200
FontSize=12
FontColor=170,170,170,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,6,5,5
AntiAlias=1
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureInput "ExecuteBatch 1"]

[MeasureInput]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=InputText
W=200
H=125
FontSize=12
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
AntiAlias=1
FocusDismiss=1
DefaultValue=#CurrentInput#
OnDismissAction=[!SetVariable CurrentInput #CurrentInput#][Play "#@#Sounds\Dismiss.wav"]
Command1=[!SetVariable CurrentInput $UserInput$][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

Just add a DynamicVariables=1 option to the [Main] meter. It is needed because the meter uses a dynamically set variable (CurrentInput) and such variables require to set on this option.

additionally i would set $UserInput$ under double-quotes in the Command1=...-line so that when you enter more than 1 word you don't get error-messages in the Log and everything is kept in the variable

Code: Select all

Command1=[!SetVariable CurrentInput "$UserInput$"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

Yep, a DynamicVariables=1 option is supported only on measures and meters. It can't be used on the [Rainmeter] section. Details: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/variables/#DynamicVariables
