String meter won't update

Post by sl23 »

Everything works! I can see it written to the skin's INI file, so I know this is working fine under the hood. It's just that no matter what I do, this meter refuses to update except on a skin refresh, which I really do not want.

I'm afraid this is back to the Timer skin :o

I've gone back to the original skin this was from and found that this fault goes back to that. Why is this meter not being updated, despite using [!UpdateMeter Action][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw] bangs?

Original Clock/Timer skin:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
AccurateText=1
DynamicWindowSize=1
MouseActionCursor=0
OnRefreshAction=[!PauseMeasureGroup TimerGroup][!HideMeterGroup Controls][!HideMeter OK][!SetOption #ActionText# FillAlpha "FillColor #Color2#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

The !WriteKeyValue bang writes the variable or another option permanently to the code, but this to take effect you need a refresh of the skin. If you want to avoid this, it is possibile, but you have to use two bangs: a !WriteKeyValue to write the variable / option and a !SetOption or !SetVariable, to dynamically change the same option or variable. Using the two bangs altogether, let you to have both, a permanent writing to keep the change even after a refresh and a dynamical update of the code for direct change. This way you can avoid the refresh but if one occurs (accidentally or intentionally), the change is kept.
So I suppose you should have to add the [!SetVariable Act "[##CURRENTSECTION#]"] bang to the LeftMouseUpAction option of the [sButton] section:

Code: Select all

[sButton]
...
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetOptionGroup Button FillAlpha "FillColor #Color5#"][!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# FillAlpha "FillColor #Color2#"][!WriteKeyValue Variables Act [##CURRENTSECTION#]][!SetVariable Act "[##CURRENTSECTION#]"][!WriteKeyValue Variables ActionText [#CURRENTSECTION]] [!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

I just noticed, in my haste to post the original message, I actually forgot to specify which meter I was having an issue with! Sorry about that. Well done for finding it :thumbup:

Unfortunately the suggestion you gave isn't working for me. Would you know why that is.

After adding your Snippet, this is the code for the Buttons now:

Code: Select all

[sButton]
Shape=Rectangle 0,0,10,10,50 | Extend FillAlpha | StrokeWidth 2 | Extend StrokeAlpha
FillAlpha=FillColor #Color5#
StrokeAlpha=StrokeColor 128,255,0,0
MouseOverAction=[!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# StrokeAlpha "StrokeColor 255,255,0,255"] [!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
MouseLeaveAction=[!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# StrokeAlpha ""] [!UpdateMeter *] [!Redraw] 
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetOptionGroup Button FillAlpha "FillColor #Color5#"][!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# FillAlpha "FillColor #Color2#"][!WriteKeyValue Variables Act [##CURRENTSECTION#]] [!WriteKeyValue Variables ActionText [#CURRENTSECTION]] [!SetVariable ActionText "[##CURRENTSECTION#]"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
ToolTipText=[#CURRENTSECTION]
DynamicVariables=1
Group=Button
Hidden=1
MouseActionCursor=0
UpdateDivider=-1
X=20r
Y=r
Btw, it's the Text=#ActionText# Variable I'm trying to change, on the [Action] meter.

I've tried moving this Snippet about and removing leading and trailing '#' just in case, seeing as the !WriteKeyVariable only has one #. Nothing seems to work with it though. Any further ideas on why it doesn't work?

There are two mistakes in the code:
  • First there is missing a !SetVariable bang from the LeftMouseUpAction option of the last posted [sButton] section (I'm talking about the [!SetVariable Act "[##CURRENTSECTION#]"] bang). Add it:

    Code: Select all

    [sButton]
...
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetOptionGroup Button FillAlpha "FillColor #Color5#"][!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# FillAlpha "FillColor #Color2#"][!WriteKeyValue Variables Act [##CURRENTSECTION#]] [!WriteKeyValue Variables ActionText [#CURRENTSECTION]][!SetVariable Act "[##CURRENTSECTION#]"][!SetVariable ActionText "[##CURRENTSECTION#]"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
  • Secondly you have to add the missing DyanmicVariables=1 option to the [Action] meter, because if you want this meter to use a dynamically set variable (ActionText in this case), this option is required.
Have these fixed the issues?

Thank you for your reply balala.

I thought you'd maybe misunderstood my intent, but then I realised the need for setting the Act variable. I changed it to the ActionText in the Bang as that's the issue I was having. But you are right, the Act variable also needs updating if selected via the buttons.

Ok, so I added both bangs and the DynamicVariables to the meter, but it still is not working as intended.

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetOptionGroup Button FillAlpha "FillColor #Color5#"][!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# FillAlpha "FillColor #Color2#"][!WriteKeyValue Variables Act [##CURRENTSECTION#]] [!WriteKeyValue Variables ActionText [#CURRENTSECTION]] [!SetVariable Act "[##CURRENTSECTION#]"][!SetVariable ActionText "[##CURRENTSECTION#]"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

I'm surprised, because it does for me. Post please the whole code.

Previously while I worked with your code somehow I finished by commenting out the Hibernate, Shutdown, Lock, CloseApps, Off and Act variables, forgot it and this is why I didn't encounter the error. Now that I have them again not-commented out, I suppose what should you do is to rename these variables. For instance:

Code: Select all

[Variables]
...
HibernateV=rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState
ShutdownV=shutdown.exe -s -t 5 -f
LockV=rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation
CloseAppsV=!CommandMeasure mClose Run
OffV=
ActV=
(see that each variable above got a V - obviously you can rename them in a way you prefer).
Sorry for my mistake. Hope this fixes the problem. Please let me know if it does.
