Hi there, I have just a simple question ..
[PROBLEM]
To update the content of a gadget in Rainmeter, you have to right click it and select "Refresh All".
Is there a way to do that via code/console/etc?
[DETAILS]
I'm currently writing a C# app that takes the Autor and Song Name from Windows Media Player, and place them in a TXT.
A TXT who is readed by a WMP Rainmeter Gadget in order to display that info, along with the usual "STOP", "PLAY", "CLOSE" buttons. (I don't need links to actual functioning WMP gadgets. Unless they show the info I'm requesting for.)
Sorry about the bad english.
Greetings from Chile.

Well, there's the !RainmeterRefresh bang. You can refresh all configs with !RainmeterRefresh *

This is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because . . .

!RainmeterRefresh can be used to refresh an individual skin or all.
Also:
"C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe !RainmeterRefreshApp"
That command line (assuming the location of Rainmeter.exe) will refresh the entire Rainmeter application.

That ... it's what I'm talking about! :0jsmorley wrote: "C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe !RainmeterRefreshApp"
Thank you. Now I can execute that command every time my app detects a new song being played.
Other ways to refresh Rainmeter, will still be appreciated.
[EDIT]
It doesn't work " Unkown !bang: !RainmeterRefreshApp "
But other !bang commands works fine. Maeby is the Rainmeter version?
Let me check ...
[EDIT2]
!RainmeterRefresh * works fine, and fill my needs. Thanks to every one for the help.

Re: Problem about refreshing Rainmeter.
I'm sure WMP users would like to have that app of yours.
I don't think they have that luxuary yet. So if you would share it, I'd bet they'd be happy.

I don't think, therefore I'm not.

Yea, about that ... I ran into a few problemas with the code. So, I'm starting over. With a different approach this time.Chewtoy wrote:I'm sure WMP users would like to have that app of yours.

If the code works, trust me. I will post it.
PD: It's 'whit' or 'with' ?

Re: Problem about refreshing Rainmeter.
Ah well. Take your time to make what you feel proud of and making it work.
I'm just saying when you're done and feel like you want it out there, wmp-users will probably be happy. :)
It's 'with' if you're refering to synonyms of 'along' and 'together'. 'Whit' is a very small amount of something, like 'shed' or 'iota'.
