IfCondition Show/Hide MeterImage or MeterGroup

The truth Balala is that I am updating a 2010 Skin that its creator no longer updates or supports, here is the Skin on Devianart: https://www.deviantart.com/jkon00/art/Pog-Pack-160237591

Pog-Pack.jpg

I think it is not forbidden to post links to places where there are Skins and on the other hand I think that to understand the code and what I am doing it was necessary to put the Skin as well as the developer jkon00.
Of course, the code is obsolete and since the skin was published in 2010, but what am I going to tell you? It's a skin that I really like and I wanted to update it, and if I fix it, I'll talk to the original developer to inform him of the improvements to his project.

Now, as you say, Balala, there are obsolete instructions like !Execute, I will have to better understand the Bangs and the Measures, because there is the understanding of Rainmeter.

The previous question about "LeftMouseDownAction" was so that when clicking on an image this action would lead to sliding a TAB of a POD to see, in this case, the Upload and Download graph of the network traffic.
As you can see there are 12 PODS and now I am working with the network POD, Here you have an Example of the first POD and how the developer does to open the TAB of a POD:

Code: Select all

[Tab]
Meter=Image
ImageName=#Graphic#Tab.png
ImageFlip=Horizontal
ImageTint=#Tab Color#
X=188
Y=0
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [!RainmeterSetVariable Hide01 1] [!RainmeterSetVariable Hide02 0]
Hidden=#Hide01#
DynamicVariables=1

[TabEnd]
Meter=Image
X=0
Y=0
W=25
H=100
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [!RainmeterSetVariable Hide01 0] [!RainmeterSetVariable Hide02 1]
Hidden=#Hide02#
DynamicVariables=1

[TabOpen]
Meter=Image
ImageName=#Graphic#Tab Open.png
ImageFlip=Horizontal
ImageTint=#Tab Color#
X=0
Y=0
Hidden=#Hide02#
DynamicVariables=1

Well I will have to study how to remove the !Execute instruction if you say that it is better to remove it, actually I am rewriting many parts of code and creating new code to improve the Skin, Since I didn't know anything about the Rainmeter code 2 weeks ago, there are my problems with the conditionals and the Measures, but I am improving a lot quickly and I realize that making a solid base of the code and optimizing it is necessary.
I will put the code aside for a few days to better understand IfMatch, IfCondition and other actions, by the way, and as an anecdote I managed to make "LeftMouseDownAction" encapsulating the actions in a Variable, I'll show you:

Code: Select all

IfCondition=(mNetworkIsActive = 1) && (mAdapterType = 6)
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption ImageNetworkPod ImageName "#Graphic#Ethernet POD.png"] [!SetVariable OpenTabGroup "!Execute [!HideMeterGroup 6][!ShowMeterGroup 7][!ShowMeterGroup NetworkIP][!ShowMeterGroup NetworkGraph]"]
...

As you can see I encapsulate !Execute inside a Variable that I then use below in a METER for the "LeftMouseDownAction=#OpenTabGroup#"

[CodeCode]

Some of the conditionals can actually be based on an image, instead of a string:

Code: Select all

[MeasureInternet]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=SysInfo
SysInfoType=INTERNET_CONNECTIVITY
SysInfoData=Best
Disabled=0
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="^1$":"#@#0.png","^-1$":"#@#1.png"

[MeterConnectivity]
Meter=Image
MeasureName=MeasureInternet
AntiAlias=1
X=20
Y=20

At least this idea will save you some head banging over the logic circuit for fall through values and just the amount of easier to read code.

It's definitely not. And it's not a problem to update an old skin, it can be done.

I'll talk to the original developer to inform him of the improvements to his project.

You can try, but I think you'll have not too much success. But worth trying.

Now, as you say, Balala, there are obsolete instructions like !Execute, I will have to better understand the Bangs and the Measures, because there is the understanding of Rainmeter.

As SilverAzide said in his last reply as well, both, the !Execute bang and the !Rainmeter... bang prefix, are deprecated. You should have to simply remove all occurrences of both. For instance the LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [!RainmeterSetVariable Hide01 1] [!RainmeterSetVariable Hide02 0] option of the last posted [Tab] meter should be LeftMouseDownAction=[!SetVariable Hide01 "1"][!SetVariable Hide02 "0"]. Note that besides removing the bang and the prefix, I also:

• Removed the space between the two bangs.
• Quoted the values which have to be set for the variables.

Even if none of these is absolutely needed, it's a good idea to get the habbit to write the options this way. If for the variable you want to set not a numerical value, but a string and that string contain spaces, the quotes are absolutely needed, without them, the bang doesn't work (or at least doesn't set the proper value for the variable).
For backward compatibility reasons, Rainmeter still works if the deprecated bang and prefix are there, but they should have not be used in fact. This is why we recommended you to remove them.

The previous question about "LeftMouseDownAction" was so that when clicking on an image this action would lead to sliding a TAB of a POD to see, in this case, the Upload and Download graph of the network traffic.
As you can see there are 12 PODS and now I am working with the network POD, Here you have an Example of the first POD and how the developer does to open the TAB of a POD:

Sorry, but I can't follow you. I assume by "pod", you mean a skin of this package, but I couldn't find a Network skin. And there are much more than 12 skins in this package. Which skin is exactly the one you're working with? I'd like a path like (this obviously is just an example): PogPack\System\System - Left Tab.ini

I will put the code aside for a few days to better understand IfMatch, IfCondition and other actions, by the way, and as an anecdote I managed to make "LeftMouseDownAction" encapsulating the actions in a Variable, I'll show you:

Code: Select all

IfCondition=(mNetworkIsActive = 1) && (mAdapterType = 6)
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption ImageNetworkPod ImageName "#Graphic#Ethernet POD.png"] [!SetVariable OpenTabGroup "!Execute [!HideMeterGroup 6][!ShowMeterGroup 7][!ShowMeterGroup NetworkIP][!ShowMeterGroup NetworkGraph]"]
...

As you can see I encapsulate !Execute inside a Variable that I then use below in a METER for the "LeftMouseDownAction=#OpenTabGroup#"

This is a perfectly valid procedure and does work. However I have two related comments:

• The !Execute bang should not be used here either. So, the above IfTrueAction option should be: IfTrueAction=[!SetOption ImageNetworkPod ImageName "#Graphic#Ethernet POD.png"] [!SetVariable OpenTabGroup "[!HideMeterGroup 6][!ShowMeterGroup 7][!ShowMeterGroup NetworkIP][!ShowMeterGroup NetworkGraph]"].
• You have to take care to add a DynamicVariables=1 option to all measures and meter on which you want to use the OpenTabGroup variable, otherwise they won't be able to use the variable. Make sure you add them.

but I am improving a lot quickly and I realize that making a solid base of the code and optimizing it is necessary.

Definitely. Feel free to come back anytime with questions, if they arise.
For instance, here is another thing you should update in your code: lately it is recommended to replace the LeftMouseDownAction option with LeftMouseUpAction. In the Note here, you can find out why.

@Balala.
I will fix your suggestion about LeftMouseDownAction


Hello again, I already have the finished network monitor POD, it is mostly based on @SilverAzid's code from his Wireless Gadget monitor, I hope SilverAzid doesn't mind that I was inspired by his code to create my POD monitor and if Should it be the case that I can't use parts of your code, I delete it and start another code again.

I understand most of your code and everything works fine for me except that when I am connected to the network via Wireless the POD shows WIFI but signal 0.

Scenario 1: When i turn on my computer I use my wired Ethernet this shows the ethernet.png graph in the POD, when I disable the Ethernet and enable my Wireless and connect to my network via Wireless the POD shows the Wifi.png graph and SignalBar but the SignalBar that shows the signal remain at 0.
Only if I manually refresh the POD Skin.ini myself does the SignalBar refresh and display the correct amount of signal.

Scenario 2: If the skin.ini of the POD has already been manually refreshed when I switch between Ethernet and Wifi, there is no problem and both the SignalBar and the text that show the amount of signal work normally.

I am mentally blocked, I have been studying the SilverAzid code for 1 week and I can't find the way that the first time or every time the Wifi connection is used, the SignalBar is displayed correctly and shows the correct amount of signal.
And keep in mind that the original Jkon code is from 2010 and it sure has a lot of deprecated code.

Lastly, I wanted to express that I don't know if someone can use code parts created by other users who do excellent work in their Skins, I hope I don't break or annoy anyone and if it is the case that someone feels annoyed by using code parts, let me know and I delete it without problem, thanks to all for your help

@Balala.
I will fix your suggestion about LeftMouseDownAction

Hello again, I already have the finished network monitor POD, it is mostly based on @SilverAzid's code from his Wireless Gadget monitor, I hope SilverAzid doesn't mind that I was inspired by his code to create my POD monitor and if Should it be the case that I can't use parts of your code, I delete it and start another code again.

If I can say in his name, he doesn't mind for sure. Rainmeter skins are mostly realized under Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike 3.0 licence, and as such, you can use any of these codes freely, can alter it. It's a good idea to mention the author of the original code, but you can use it.
Hope SilverAzide agrees me. I'm sure he does, especially that he also wrote similar things. So, I'm sure you can use his code, but finally he is the one who has to say his opinion.

I understand most of your code and everything works fine for me except that when I am connected to the network via Wireless the POD shows WIFI but signal 0.

Scenario 1: When i turn on my computer I use my wired Ethernet this shows the ethernet.png graph in the POD, when I disable the Ethernet and enable my Wireless and connect to my network via Wireless the POD shows the Wifi.png graph and SignalBar but the SignalBar that shows the signal remain at 0.
Only if I manually refresh the POD Skin.ini myself does the SignalBar refresh and display the correct amount of signal.

Scenario 2: If the skin.ini of the POD has already been manually refreshed when I switch between Ethernet and Wifi, there is no problem and both the SignalBar and the text that show the amount of signal work normally.

I am mentally blocked, I have been studying the SilverAzid code for 1 week and I can't find the way that the first time or every time the Wifi connection is used, the SignalBar is displayed correctly and shows the correct amount of signal.
And keep in mind that the original Jkon code is from 2010 and it sure has a lot of deprecated code.

I let SilverAzide to answer to your question. Hoping he will reply.

Lastly, I wanted to express that I don't know if someone can use code parts created by other users who do excellent work in their Skins, I hope I don't break or annoy anyone and if it is the case that someone feels annoyed by using code parts, let me know and I delete it without problem, thanks to all for your help

As said above, you can use and alter any of the codes you get on this forum. Maybe mention the author, but you definitely can use them.

[SilverAzide]

Thanks balala, you are correct...

Hi neo.nemek, there's no issue with using my code or any that has been released under a Creative Commons Share-Alike license. You are free to modify and copy as needed; all you need to do is mention the name of the original author (and preferably the source skin or suite) where you got the code.

Without actually running your skin code, I do have some observations for you.

The Gadgets Network Meter (and Wireless Meter) has some code in which it automatically configures itself the first time it runs (i.e., it retrieves the names of your ethernet and wifi adapters). It only needs to do this once. The variable InterfaceAutoConfig controls this; if it is 1, then the auto-config routine will run if no adapters are configured (this will be the case the first time you run the skin). At the end of the code, it sets InterfaceAutoConfig to 0 so this routine won't run a second time. You added a measure, MeasureOnLoad that fires off the automatic configuration code every time the skin loads. I don't see how this skin even works, it should go into an infinite loop at this point, since you are reloading the skin over and over, but perhaps something else is happening. I'd get rid of this measure, it is not needed and may cause errors or crashes.

Next, you added code to the end of the MeasureRunGetWireless measure (the section with the comment "Check Network Status and Select Active Meters"). Are you aware your code is placed at the end of this measure and is part of it? My guess is you placed the code there, discovered it was never running, then added MeasureOnLoad to force it to run? In any case, you need to remove the code from this location, this is not where it needs to be. If you look at your code, it is referencing two measures, MeasureNetworkIsLAN and MeasureAdapterType. So take your entire section of IfConditions and move it to the end of the measure MeasureNetworkIsLAN. This is where it needs to go. Both this measure and MeasureAdapterType are constantly watching your network, and as soon as the network either becomes active or inactive, or if your adapter changes from ethernet to wifi or vice versa, this set of conditions will execute and adjust the appearance of your skin, assuming your IfTrueAction code is working properly.

P.S.: If you want to simulate what happens when the skin loads for the first time, open the NetworkVariables.inc file and blank out the names of your adapters, then set InterfaceAutoConfig=1, the save and refresh. After the skin runs, the adapter name variables will be auto-configured and the auto-config set to 0. Then this code will not run again, as it is not necessary to fetch your adapter names more than once.

Yes this is true, it will take a long time to understand how the network interfaces are added due to its MeasureRunGetEthernet routine and that therefore it is only executed if the InterfaceAutoConfig variable is set to 1, that is, to publish the code installer this variable It must be set to 1 so that after the network monitor skin is installed and loaded, the MeasureRunGetEthernet routine starts for the first time to do its job of defining the network interfaces that the user has and therefore my MeasureOnLoad routine is superfluous and not It needs to be in the code and my intention is to remove MeasureOnLoad. The routine only runs once and sleeps until the Skin.ini is loaded or refreshed.

Next, you added code to the end of the MeasureRunGetWireless measure (the section with the comment "Check Network Status and Select Active Meters").

This code I think I could remove it and take advantage of your ----- Active Adapter ----- routines
This code is responsible for showing or hiding elements of the POD depending on whether the network connection is wired, wireless, unknown, or not connected at all.

Code: Select all

;----------------------------- Check Network Status and Select Active Meters ---------------------------

Actually all the code together works perfect, this routine of yours controls the network interface changes:

Code: Select all

; IMPORTANT:
;   The OnChangeAction is required to refresh all the SysInfo adapter measures when the adapter changes.

In fact, if I study the code better, I think I could eliminate my network interface selection code and make better use of its network interface control routine.
Although what I want to fix is ​​that after starting the computer and with the network connection established in Ethernet if I change to Wireless my SignalBar only shows the amount of signal 0 when in reality I have the Wireless signal at 100 and only if I manually refresh the Skin.ini shows the correct amount of signal, after manually updating the skin.ini it doesn't matter if I change to Ethernet or Wireless because it always shows the signal correctly as long as the connection is with Wireless.

I don't know how or where to place a routine that, in addition to controlling the Wireless network connection, automatically refreshes this code and does not fall into an infinite refresh loop of the code that I mention below:

Code: Select all

;---------------------------------- Wireless Adapter Signal POD -----------------------------------------

Thanks for your attention and help SilverAzide, and I'm going to remove MeasureOnLoad.

[neo.nemek]

This is the complete and functional Skin.ini in case SilverAzid or another user wants to try it and help me with the refresh of the Bar that shows the amount of signal. The texts of the Variables that are shown in the POD are in Spanish since I am Spanish.

You will have to set this variable to 1 as SilverAzid said so that your network interfaces are configured
[Variables]

; network autoconfig, prevents infinite looping
; 0 = don't run autoconfig
; 1 = run autoconfig if all interfaces set to blank
InterfaceAutoConfig=0

Now there are my network interfaces:
InterfaceBroadband=
InterfaceEthernet=Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (11) I219-V
InterfaceWireless=Linksys WUSB6300

Hello again, I know why it happens that my SignalBar stays at 0 without showing the real amount of Wifi signal, this happens because Rainmeter executes the routine that shows the SignalBar before the Wifi interface is fully connected to the network and results in Wifi signal 0.

This is the routine that permanently knows if the Wifi interface is being used and the SSID when the Wifi is not used SSID return SSID=-1 and SSID=0
I emphasize again that if I refresh the Skin.ini manually the problem does not appear again, it is as if the Wifi goes from SSID=NameOfMySSID state to SSID=-1 state, the problem no longer occurs:

Code: Select all

[MeasureWifiIsConnected]
Measure=WiFiStatus
WiFiInfoType=SSID
WiFiIntfID=#WiFiInterfaceID#
Group=MeasureWireless
RegExpSubstitute=1
Disabled=1

[MeasureWirelessStatus]
Measure=SysInfo
SysInfoType=ADAPTER_STATE
SysInfoData=#InterfaceWireless#
Group=MeasureWireless
OnChangeAction=[!Log "Wireless estatus bien y [MeasureWirelessStatus] [MeasureWiFiSSID]" Notice][!UpdateMeasureGroup MeasureActiveNet]
Disabled=1

Thinking about how to fix it, I added a condition IfCondition This Condition solves the problem for the [!Refresh] but this action creates a continuous loop:

Code: Select all

[MeasureWifiIsConnected]
Measure=WiFiStatus
WiFiInfoType=SSID
WiFiIntfID=#WiFiInterfaceID#
Group=MeasureWireless
RegExpSubstitute=1
Disabled=1

[MeasureWirelessStatus]
Measure=SysInfo
SysInfoType=ADAPTER_STATE
SysInfoData=#InterfaceWireless#
Group=MeasureWireless
OnChangeAction=[!Log "Wireless estatus bien y [MeasureWirelessStatus] [MeasureWiFiSSID]" Notice][!UpdateMeasureGroup MeasureActiveNet]
IfCondition=(MeasureNetworkIsLAN = 1) && (MeasureWifiIsConnected = 0)
IfTrueAction=[!UpdateMeasureGroup MeasureWireless][!Refresh]
Disabled=1

I really need the Skin.ini to refresh 1 time when the Wifi interface is fully connected to my network and to the SSID=NameOfMySSID due to my little experience with the Rainmeter code, I am putting many hours into this problem to find out why it happens, but I still haven't found an optimal solution. How to refresh the code just one time after completely connecting the wifi network, Well thanks for your attention and help, this problem is killing me

Don't try refreshing the skin, that is not the proper fix. The source of the problem lies elsewhere.

One question for you, did you define the variable WiFiInterfaceID? You are using it in your Wifi measures, but I don't see where you defined it. In my skin it was defined at the top of the file, and should be set to 0.

I don't see the purpose of the measures you've added above. You already have all the information you need, and these measures seem to be just duplicating data you already have. Also, the MeasureWifiIsConnected isn't going to work.

You might want to carefully look at the Rainmeter measures on the debug window (Rainmeter > About > Skins > (your skin)). Make sure your measures are enabled and returning values, and watch what happens when you connect/disconnect your adapters.
