Hardware Lib related issues

[Cableguy]

Hi,

Following some interesting issues brougth up in the "hardware lib updated" tread, decided to start this one..

1- Runappattime
Is it possible to, after creating more than one runappattime registered notification, to remove one especific notification?
If yes then how?

2- Catching hardware keys
How to catch the keyboard keys?
(Anyone up to creating a Lib with keypress event?)

1- Using the evNone event you can remove the registration of a specific application.
2- Catching the hardware keys is done using the Hardware library.

I ment the Keybord Keys, as I understand only the cursor, enter and 4 buttons are detected by the hardware lib!?

Do you mean an external keyboard?
You can use a TextBox to catch the "regular" keys.

My device a qtek900 as a "full" qwerty kb and some combinations execute specific program and have a direct key for iexplorer and such...Would it be possible to allow similar behavior in b4ppc apps, the shotcut key I mean!
like shift+f ->open the file menu...

Maybe in the next version...

evNone only applies to the RunAtEvent. Will it still remove notifications for RunAppAtTime entries?

You can pass 0 as the time argument to remove a notification added with RunAppAtTime.

And third issue: i have the main window and the menu with the submenu in my program. Catching hardware keys work properly but it work also when i navigating in the menu with these keys... Is it possible to deactivate catching when the menu is opened?

 

[Erel]

Currently it is not possible.

You can pass 0 as the time argument to remove a notification added with RunAppAtTime.

hdwr.RunAppAtTime(AppPath & "\app.exe",0)

Error description: Cannot set notification handler.

I've checked it with the following code and it works fine:

Sub App_Start
    Form1.Show
    hw.New1
End Sub

Sub Button1_Click
    hw.RunAppAtTime("1.exe",TimeAdd(Now,1,0,0))
End Sub

Sub Button2_Click
    hw.RunAppAtTime("1.exe",0)
End Sub

CheckNotifications is a nice tool that lists all the notifications: http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/product_detail.php?productname=checknotify

Make sure to refresh the list when you check for changes.
