Temperature charts

  The DOW only checks the number of the characters, so AAA, BB and CC will work.  But if more than 3, it will set as 3.

Edit:  The train for ImageViewer and radar.exe is slowwwwwwww....Expect to get my new PC today and will try to set up the proper software.  Then I can start to learn C#. So be patient.....

Uk_skinner,

Oh, you lucky one...  a new PC...  is always MUCH faster and better than the old one...  Wish you many funny hours behind it!

And ehh... I'll be patient!

Broesel: could you please update your post in the German forum.  You can specify the format of DOW using "DOW=XXX, or XX, or X"  Thanks.

Done, thanks for the feature

Broesel,

I need your help!

I tried several things, but nothing works... Can you, please, give some good textlines for my next wishes:

- a button is on place 39,16
the beginning of the button textline is: button,39,16,12,15,-1,...  and the rest I couldn't find.

- clicking on this button must give the 'background_01.pic' on place 45,16
and 'c%var0%hourchart.pic' on place 50,20

Those pictures remain in the same region, region 3, the region of the weather forecast.

Broesel, can you fix those textlines for me?!? Would be very appreciated, cause I can't find the right textlines myself...

Don't know, if I understand that right, but I think, something like this:

Code Select Expand

button,39,16,12,15,-1,6,var25=1,3
..
..
..
if,var,var25,,=,1
image,45,16,background_01.pic,t
image,50,20,c%var0%hourchart.pic,t
button,39,16,12,15,-1,6,var25=2,3
else
if,var,var25,,=,2
button,39,16,12,15,-1,6,var25=1,3
other skintext

endif
endif

Broesel,

Ok, I think I understand it: I have to assign a new var to that particular button.  I'm gonna work with it. Maybe, I can work this out myself. If not, I'm coming back with new questions...

Thanks for leading my thoughts in the right direction!

Well, I stated in the German PPC-Welt-Forum, how I implemented the
Temp- and Hourcharts in the skin, so here for all that are interested is an
easy way to call the pictures in the skintext:

Create two new registry-keys under \HKCU\Software\SRSSoft\TodayPlus\image :

Key 1: hourchart with content:
\Program Files\TodayPlus\Buffer\hourchart.png

and

Key 2: tempchart with content:
\Program Files\TodayPlus\Buffer\tempchart.png

where the value is the path, where you saved the pictures with radar.exe

Call the pictures in the skintext with:

image,x,y,%hourchart%,t

and

image,x,y,%tempchart%,t

It's an easy way to display them without changing the imagedir.

Broesel,

I've tried this for my five cities, but then this don't work, isn't it? I think this is only a solution when you have temepraturecharts for only ONE city, right?!?

I tried to find something for five cities, but couldn't find a good solution... I can put the right lines in the Registry, but after that I didn't find any textlines in the skinfile that did work...

Timmy:

I never done this but you can try this:

1) Make key for hourchart of each city you have, like this :

Key 1: hourchart of city 1 with content:
\Program Files\TodayPlus\Buffer\hourchart1.png

Key 2: hourchart of city 2 with content:
\Program Files\TodayPlus\Buffer\hourchart2.png

2) in your skin call the image using: the varX is your city ID

Code Select Expand

image,x,y,%hourchart%varX%%,t

Uk_skinner,

I already used the same textline in my skin, and I already put the same text in the registry, but it don't work...

Timmy

EDIT:
I forget to say that I've my own solution: Radar.exe copies the pics to my common TodayPlus image file. Then it's not difficult to get the pic on my screen: The textlines in my skin are easy to write.

[uk_skinner]

Timmy:

    I just tried, it worked when I added the registry keys.  Probably, there are some small bugs in your skin.  I would suggest that you send it  to broesel to review.

Uk_skinner,

I'm sure I have some BIG bugs in my skin, as usual... First I'll try it myself, but if I don't be lucky, I'll ask Broesel to help me.

Timmy, if you copy the pics into your Image-Folder, there is no need
to use the registry for this.

You only have to call the images with the normal image-command:

image,x,y,hourchart1.png,t
image,x,y,hourchart2.png,t

and so on.
You only have to be sure, that the pictures are there and the names are right.

Broesel,

I'm sorry I must tell you that all my efforts leads to nowhere... Every thing I try, fails...  So, please, help me again!

This is my skintext:

Code Select Expand

button,40,12,12,15,-1,6,var3=1-highlight,3
if,var,var3,,=,1
image,51,1,Tempback-01.png,
image,51,1,hourchart%var0%.png,t
button,40,12,12,15,-1,6,var3=2-highlight,3
else
if,var,var3,,=,2
button,40,12,12,15,-1,6,var3=1-highlight,3
updateregions,3,0
endif
endif

Explanation of the things I'm trying:
1) in an excisting region (region,3,0) I want to see temporaly the hourchart1.png
2) the highlighted button (button,40,12) is working: when clicking you see the box
3) when clicking on the button (button,40,12), the Tempback-01.png must appear in the background, and the hourchart.png in the foreground: this don't work
4) when clicking again, the original screen has to appear again: this don't work

What are the mistakes I made???

Timmy

This is my skintext:

updateregions,3,0

o.K. the codelines I gave you where only examples, but I made a fault,
it will not update your region without a rerendering of the region. So please
try this:

Code Select Expand

initvar,var3,2   //(this can be at the beginning of the skin to not show the pic)

if,var,var3,,=,1
       image,51,1,Tempback-01.png,
image,51,1,hourchart%var0%.png,t
button,40,12,12,15,3,6,var3=2-highlight,-1
else
if,var,var3,,=,2

Broesel,

You gave the right lines. I'm a happy man: everything works fine now. Thank you very much for those textlines!!!
