Inactivity event triggers

[tsjdesign]

Does anyone have a workaround for the timed event triggers (Setup>Events>Triggers>Event) which are not yet active? I'm looking to have a command triggered when my touchscreen is not accessed for a certain amount of time.

If not a workaround, any idea when the tormenting "NOT DONE" will be removed from the Triggers>Event tab?

Thanks!
Todd

no brilliant ideas on this??

XEvent plugin?

It allows you to set and trigger an 'event' in the future. But to get this to work as you suggest (after the screen not being touched) may take a lot of effort as every button on every screen would need to stop and restart the timer.

I will check but I think I can include a new function in XEVENTS plugin like : AddInnactivityEvent with Time and eventname in param.

I'll be back soon...

rbziggy - you've nailed the problem exactly!

ptrinchi - that would be fantastic - I wish I had the programming skills to contribute as you and so many others have!!!

This will solve my last big hurtle (that I am aware of ) - I will keep my fingers crossed, and thank you!!!

Ok, modification done. Actually in test by the Xlobby French Team.

2 new functions added,
Add Inactivity Event with a param like minute|groupe:eventname (for example, 5|goto:goto menu will bring you to the menu screen if nothing append until 5 minutes)
Add Revival Event with a param like groupe:eventname (for example, goto:goto meteo will bring you to the menu meteo if you touch the keyboard, the touchscreen or move the mouse)

I will add the link as soon as the test will be ok

I downloaded the new dll from the 24:th but I dont see these new functions? Or do I have to type it in the ini files manually?

create an event with with a plugin command : Add Inactivity Event or Add Revival Event.

you only need xevent.dll and XAlarmeNow.txt, you don't need anymore the ini files...

öhh ok..

added event but for parameter?
what gets triggered and when?
do I pass 3 minutes as a parameter and then add a trigger in the plugin setup for 3 minutes also?

sorry for all the questions

nope,

ex: create an event with the commande Add Inactivity Event 5|groutest:test . then you must execute this event. to strat the fonction, but you can't put this event in the startup eventgroups, it will not working... so you can use an enter screen or whatever you want to execute this event.
so if there are 5 minutes inactivvity the event "test" from the eventgroup "grouptest" will be execute.

Works like a charm.Thanks

you can add to your event ( in the ex, event "test") a plugin command Add Revival Event in the aim of executing an other event when you wake up the pc.
