Hi Rainmeter community,

I'm still learning rainmeter, only in the early stages and stuck on a simple line of code.
It's a simple push button that plays a wav file, but would like the button to hide for the length of the wave
then show once wav has finished.
Help Anyone?
Thanks

This is not something that can be done with just native Rainmeter, as there is no way for Rainmeter to "know" when the Play command is done. It's petty much "fire and forget".

However, I was messing with some C# stuff today anyway, so I knocked out a little Rainmeter Plugin that can help.

Using the NowPlaying plugin, wouldn't one be able to to check Position is equal to Duration? Or even check if Progress = 100?

But why would I want to have to load up a media player to simply play a .wav file on some click or other action in my skin? I don't think I want Winamp popping up in front of everything any time I click on some button.

I think ZipD makes a mistake, thinking that when Rainmeter plays a wav, it loads the default player. But it doesn't. That's why his method, wouldn't work at all.
