New version (show/hide)
http://users.skynet.be/badubo/temp2/XMoveWindow.dll

It seems that you send a special message to ZP just after starting it (32817, 118,1) For which purpose ? Is it to avoid the side effect kolemieux mentions (we see oly the upper left part of the image)?

That is the command for telling Zoomplayer to go to videoonly (F7)

Badubo - Q,

To the commment below, and badubo I dug thru Q's skin up and down I could not fix that within a newly created skin - there is something in his skin I for the life of me can't track down that eliminates that partial video view from occuring. I've had to build my other skin pieces around his.

When I saw that command in his startup - I thought that was it. Nope. I can tell you how to fix it but could not find a way in digging thru the ZP archives to automate and send the command - if u build your skin and have this issue, u track down ZP in the lower taskbar of the screen - RIGHT CLICK - RESET POSITION - it fixes it. For as long as it is running.

I just could not fix it in a skin.... And ZERO clue why Q's does not do that.

Badubo - can u toss me a hint or two on how to effectively use this in a skin. I am still wrestling with show/hide - if you would be so kind. I can see this as value on my MainPage.

Guys, I took the path of least resistence after about 20 hours trying to find what in Q's skin was not casuing this issue - NO CLUE - and it did not happen with ZP solo either, so - I went and decided to complety rearchitect my skin around his framework.....

I simply could not find the way to fix this - if u do that RESET WINDOW it fixes it - but I could not find that command documented as sendable within ZP..... If we can find it that would be quite nice.

I even thought it may be the rev of XMovewindow.dll, or the command Q sendd in the beginning - but noper - was not. I sampled a few commands to send to ZP in the skin and none of them did it.

Oh well..... let us know Q if u even know why this does not happen to you within your skin - I dug that skin up and down and could not see it.

Badubo,

Help me here if I am wrong - I am using the new .dll, and added a ZP/Xmovewindow to my MainMenu screen - works Great.

Now that you mention show/hide I have added that ZP itemas a Show/Hide. Should it indeed Hide when not on the selected button, i.e Videos PNG image....

Just looking to see if I understand correctly - hoping this works - very KEWL and maybe I am just doing something wrong.

What I wanted to do is like BadaBing has in his skin (I have a Portal to the right on my MainPage) .... when I scroll the buttons I want their appropriate image to be displayed with the video hidden, and then when the VideoButton is highlighted the VideoPortal (ZP Window) is then shown with the ZP Video in play...

? - am I assuming too much?

Thanks again - just let me know if I am not doing something correct.

Show/Hide

Badubo - I really simplified my show/hide and no-go so likely I am doing something wrong - I will just hang tight for your reply.

Thanks

babdubo:
On my HTPC I do not have the problem with loosing OSD in zoomplayer,maybe cause xlobby runs in fullscreen there
but I still need to find a way to hide mouse.Looks like when xmovewindow force a window to foreground it brings the mousepointer aswell



kolemieux:
correct me if I'm wrong..
You mean the problem of yours does NOT happend in my skin ?

are you using the latest Zoomplayer
Sure you use right screennameid ?

my videopage is named video.xml then I use video_Tmainform
after that I go to videofullscreen.xml and then I use videofullscreen_Tmainform

if you make your own screens you must rename to that

Correct Qtips - Does NOT nor ever did with your skin. However, even in a test skin with the identical Params, I have the issue - I cant make sense of it at all.

In your skin I've added many other pages with the ZP window - zero issues with this problem. That is the same process I am using in my other skin but noper - it scales weird. I suspect most others will see this as well - not sure why and though I could send some aspectratio, or other commands to clear it up - noper.

Qtips - can u help me with the Show/Hide ?'s - did u try and can u get this to work or do I misunderstand it?

Thanks much
CHris

The only seem I can seem to accomplish is

1) The ZP window is hidden like it should be when I load the page...

2) When I run over the button that should show the ZP window, that works.

3) But when I roll away and it should HIDE, it does not seem to work for me.

Looking big-time forward to getting this cooking. I know there are plenty of people having issues with show/hide and images hanging around - but with this the other items are behaving.


Advice?

Got it...

Postby kolemieux on Fri Nov 12, 2004 1:41 am

Got it - needed to step into the plugin, I was thinking of SHOW/HIDE in the typical sense of SHOW/HIDE within an Xlobby skin.

Badubo - KILLER WORK pal..... THANKS!!!

On that front - am I missing anything that would allow it in the case of a main menu screen, it to function like a show-hide with scroll over buttons. Reality is 99% of the time this is just perfect - really 100%. But if that can be done would just like to know.

I would like the Show IMAGES of my other elements Speaker, Movies, and the like to show but when I scroll over (without pressing) Videos the video portal would show. Essentially it would treat this text box just like another image classified as SHOW/HIDE.

Thanks for this add - super great.
