Badubo we need your skills.....XmoveWindow with XL V3

[lar282]

Has anybody got this plugin to work with V3?
Are the french guys still around?

my window just puts itself in the upper left corner no matter what I do? Must be the .net 3.x stuff.

I just did the same test and you're right it doesn't work.

I tested some of the plugin sdk properties that are used by xmovewindows and it seems that the getX and getY properties of getButton are not working in V3. getHeight and getWidth however do work... I've already emailed this to Steven.

i guess this will not be to hard to fix...

kris I have a hard time verifying that the issue with getx y is fixed in xlobby_3.0.9062.43.exe. Can u help me?

the plugin still doesn't work but that might be a differrent issue.

Lasse,

To test this function I created a small plugin that displays x,y,width and height for a given button_id. In the latest release 9062 the x and Y values are coming through. So that seems to be resolved

But Xmovewindows still does not work (window gets pulled to 0,0 coordinates)

i did however note another strange behaviour

if I request x,y for a random button of text box and then move this object the values are being updated only when I select another object. (In V2 the values were updated in realtime)
BUT when I move the textbox that is used for Xmovewindows the values are not updated. They remain the same as before the movement. I can move and resize as much as I want the stay the same.

that all the info I can come up with now...

thanks for trying..

Badubo you around. Feel like wrewriting the plugin to work with XL V3? PLEASE
I guess all the class names in XL are changed thats why the plugin doesn't work.

XMovewindow is quite old, the button class was not yet implemented, I use "buttonsize:" in a sendcommand.

ANY chance u have time to wre-write?
I just loved having my tv application on top of XL in a window.

I am a bit busy at the moment, but its a really simple plugin to code - I do the same think in a few of my plugins...

If anyone feels like it, here a bit of C# code to strip the frame and move a window -

Dang it.... Just got the media player to playback with the proper size.....so now I could move up to XLobby 3....or so I thought.

XMoveWindow is a critical part of my skin...I use it to display SageTV in a number of different screens. Anyone want to start a donation for Badubo or Pittaway to do an Xlobby 3 re-write?

I actually rewrote his plugin but can't post it here since its his work. Maybe he reads this and gives me permission to post the new dll
