volume slider position?

[Alex Becherer]

i am running Windows 7.

i got rid of my taskbar/tray and have the tray/notification stuff in a Rainmeter skin. this also includes a bitmap meter for the current volume level. when i click on this meter i want to see the default Windows volume slider. i use this:

Code: Select all

ButtonCommand=!Execute [sndvol.exe -f]

so far, so good.

my problem is that the slider appears at the upper left of the screen. i would prefer it to appear under my meter instead.

any ideas for command line parameters or maybe a third party app?

Here's a generalized autoit script I made.

Run the program for instructions on setup.

In your case the following would work fine...

Code: Select all

ExecuteThenMove.exe "%windir%\system32\sndvol.exe" "-f" "" "r" "r"

ExecuteThanMove.zip

thanks a lot for the executable.

unfortunately it does not work here. it actually moves the rainmeter config when i click on the button.
if i lauch it from a shortcut it moves the explorer window.

happens not only with sndvol.exe, but with calc.exe as well. about 1 out of 20 times it works as it should, so i guess it has a problem to determine which window to move.

Alright... I updated the program to be a bit smarter.

Run the program without params or with the /help param to get detailed instructions.

The updated arguments code for the sndvol example is

Code: Select all

ExecuteThenMove.exe "/Execute:'%windir%\system32\sndvol.exe'" "/Params:-f"

A Rainmeter code example is as follows

Code: Select all

[Variables]
PathToProgram = C:\Users\Ryan\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\TotalControl\Tools!\ExecuteThenMove\

[meter]
meter=IMAGE
x=0
y=0
w=100
h=100
solidcolor=255,255,255,255
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#PathToProgram#ExecuteThenMove.exe" "/Execute:'%windir%\system32\sndvol.exe'" "/Params:-f"]
