Write Key Value

[Nugget]

How would I use it? For example, say I wanted them to click on [Box], and it would write the key value "1". Also, I want it to start another .ini file (Start-Menu Launcher 2.ini).

Here's my meter:

Code: Select all

[Box]
Meter=Image
x=5
y=5
ImageName=box.png

[Chewtoy]

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [!RainmeterWriteKeyValue Variables MyVariable 1]

That will write the value 1 to the variable MyVariable in the Variables section.
If you want to start a different skin you are looking for something like
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [!RainmeterActivateConfig MyAwesomeSkins\MyAwesomeClock MyAwesomeClock.ini]

!Execute

Special !bang that can be used to combine several !bangs together. The !bangs are separated with '[' and ']'-chars. You can also launch applications with this (!Execute ["C:\Windows\Notepad.exe"])

!RainmeterWriteKeyValue [Section] [Key] [Value] ("FileSpec")

Allows for permanently writing / changing any Key=Value in any Rainmeter .ini or other ini formatted file such as a .inc @Include file. "Section" is the section name such as [Rainmeter], "Key" and "Value" are the Key=Value pairs such as FontSize=15. "FileSpec" is optional. If included, it will make the change to the specified file as long as the file exists and is in the \Skins or %APPDATA%\Rainmeter paths. Thus, you can write to any skin .ini / .inc or Rainmeter.ini. For a change to a file to take effect, a refresh of the skin (or Rainmeter) is required.

!RainmeterActivateConfig [Config] [Ini-file]

Activates a new configuration ini-file. The ini-file is just the name of the file; do not include the path.

An Example using !Execute and !RainmeterWriteKeyValue:

Code: Select all

[Box]
Meter=Image
x=5
y=5
ImageName=box.png
MiddleMouseUpAction=!Execute [!RainmeterWriteKeyValue Box X 10][!RainmeterRefresh #CURRENTCONFIG#]
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [!RainmeterWriteKeyValue Box X 5][!RainmeterRefresh #CURRENTCONFIG#]

An Example using !RainmeterActivateConfig:

Code: Select all

[Box]
Meter=Image
x=5
y=5
ImageName=box.png
LeftMouseUpAction=!RainmeterActivateConfig "Enigma" "Welcome.ini"
