confirmation for buttons possible??

[hmmka]

hi

my skins contains a shutodwn, a restart and a standbybutton.
is there any possibility to get a confirmation dialogue before the shutdown/restart/standby is going to be executed??

would help against accidental clicking it

Code: Select all

[MeterShutdown]
Meter=STRING
X=23
Y=71
FontColor=#WhiteColor#
FontSize=#Size2#
FontFace=#Font2#
StringAlign=Left
StringStyle=italic
AntiAlias=1
Postfix="Shutdown"
Hidden=0
MouseOverAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter MeterShutdownH][!RainmeterRedraw]
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter MeterShutdownH][!RainmeterRedraw]

[MeterShutdownH]
Meter=STRING
X=r
Y=r
FontColor=#TurquoiseColor#
FontSize=#Size2#
FontFace=#Font2#
StringAlign=Left
StringStyle=italic
AntiAlias=1
Postfix="Shutdown"
Hidden=1
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter MeterShutdownH][!RainmeterRedraw]
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [#Shutdown#]

There might be a neater way to do it, but the obvious idea to me is instead of having the button execute the shutdown, have it launch another config that is (basically) an "Are you sure?" textbox - if you click THAT then it shuts down. If you wanted to get flash, you could put a button on that meter to click.

So like this:

Code: Select all

[MeterShutdown]
Meter=STRING
X=23
Y=71
FontColor=#WhiteColor#
FontSize=#Size2#
FontFace=#Font2#
StringAlign=Left
StringStyle=italic
AntiAlias=1
Postfix="Shutdown"
Hidden=0
MouseOverAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter MeterShutdownH][!RainmeterRedraw]
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter MeterShutdownH][!RainmeterRedraw]

[MeterShutdownH]
Meter=STRING
X=r
Y=r
FontColor=#TurquoiseColor#
FontSize=#Size2#
FontFace=#Font2#
StringAlign=Left
StringStyle=italic
AntiAlias=1
Postfix="Shutdown"
Hidden=1
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter MeterShutdownH][!RainmeterRedraw]
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter MeterShutdownConfirm][!RainmeterRedraw]

[MeterShutdownConfirm]
Meter=STRING
X=r
Y=r
FontColor=#TurquoiseColor#
FontSize=#Size2#
FontFace=#Font2#
StringAlign=Left
StringStyle=italic
AntiAlias=1
Text="Are you sure you want to shut down?"
Solidcolor=0,0,0,2
Hidden=1
RightMouseDoubleClickAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter MeterShutdownConfirm][!RainmeterRedraw]
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [#Shutdown#]

yeah very nice idea!

i'll try to implement this tonight

[hmmka]

it works very nice now

made even one more meter to confirmation:

Code: Select all

[MeterShutdown]
Meter=STRING
X=23
Y=71
FontColor=#WhiteColor#
FontSize=#Size2#
FontFace=#Font2#
StringAlign=Left
StringStyle=italic
AntiAlias=1
Postfix="Shutdown"
Hidden=0
MouseOverAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter MeterShutdownH][!RainmeterRedraw]
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter MeterShutdownH][!RainmeterRedraw]

[MeterShutdownH]
Meter=STRING
X=r
Y=r
FontColor=#TurquoiseColor#
FontSize=#Size2#
FontFace=#Font2#
StringAlign=Left
StringStyle=italic
AntiAlias=1
Postfix="Shutdown"
Hidden=1
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter MeterShutdownH][!RainmeterRedraw]
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter MeterShutdownConfirm][!RainmeterHideMeter Metersd][!RainmeterHideMeter Metershutdown][!RainmeterHideMeter Meterrestart][!RainmeterHideMeter Meterstandby][!RainmeterHideMeter Meterrs][!RainmeterHideMeter Metersb][!RainmeterRedraw]


[MeterShutdownConfirm]
Meter=STRING
X=45
Y=30
FontColor=#WhiteColor#
FontSize=#Size4#
FontFace=#Font2#
StringAlign=Left
StringStyle=italic
AntiAlias=1

MouseOverAction=!Execute [!RainmeterShowMeter MeterShutdownConfirm2][!RainmeterRedraw]
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterHideMeter MeterShutdownConfirm2][!RainmeterRedraw]


[MeterShutdownConfirm2]
Meter=STRING

Nice, man.

So the idea with the third/fourth meter is that you get a highlight on mouseover, essentially? That's pretty cool.

Glad to help.

yep thats all what it is supposed to do.

here are some screenshots (shutdown meter in bottom right corner) :


1. [MeterShutdown]

2. [MeterShutdownH] (makes the mouseover effect for shutdown/restart/standby

]

3. [MeterShutdownConfirm] (shows the "are you sure?" question)

4. [MeterShutdownConfirm2] (makes the mouseover effect for the "are you sure?" question
