Error Message quietly sounding in the background ... for weeks I guess

[CoffeeJoe]

I just noticed one of my skins has been triggering an error about every second for as long as its been running (A while)


Anyone know what it means? Skin works as expected even with the error.
Code is a bit long but not too hard to follow

Hello !

Code: Select all

[DrawerContainer]
X=5
Y=(#DrawerY#+90)
W=300
H=150
MeterStyle=DrawerStyle
SolidColor=000000FF
Meter=String

[DrawerStyle]
Container=DrawerContainer
DynamicVariables=1
AntiAlias=1
Group=Drawer

The error come from the fact that you are putting a container into himself.
DrawContainer is using the DrawerStyle which have a Container=DrawerContainer

I would recommand to remove the MeterStyle and add what's needed for this container to work. It could be that :

Code: Select all

[DrawerContainer]
X=5
Y=(#DrawerY#+90)
W=300
H=150

SolidColor=000000FF
Meter=String
DynamicVariables=1
AntiAlias=1
Group=Drawer

And the group Drawer doesn't seem to have action to it, so you don't need it, expect if it will be used later on.

Duschmoll:
You are correct... Thank you!
I suppose if I had read the message a few times and thought about it - its pretty obvious what the error was trying to tell me.
I fixed it with a "Container=" in the container meter - supersedes that line from the style.
Honestly I had plans for what it all was going to do - then I went down the rabbit hole trying to understand the action timer - now the drawer goes up and down (perfectly, I might add) and wasn't planning to do any more with it...
Initially I wanted it to do all this comparison and tell me how much money I won with "my numbers"...
I look each drawing and I go online to see the 'nothing' I won before the app even updates... likely scrapping it entirely.
Its all good tho, I learned a bunch about webparser, regex & action timer all in one project

Cheers, CJ

Happy to help !
Haha it's the time to learn new properties of rainmeters, take your time and take breaks, if you like doing skins, you'll always come back to it
Have a good one
