Desktop Remote 'Add Button' Event

[rjzupko]

Hello, I'm trying to create a custom remote. I want a remote with buttons that would activate macros, or an event within a macro at the very least. I tried to follow the instructions on: http://www.eventghost.net/mediawiki/ind ... top_Remote, but I cannot seem to figure out what to include for the "Event". Is there any way to have it do what I want?

Thanks

When you add a button to the desktopremote you enter a event name. This event will be fired when you press the button on the desktopremote. The generated event can then be used to trigger macros (use drag'n'drop to move the event from log window to macro in config tree).

Thank you Topix! The remote works perfectly! I had to add an event to activate the Remote Window for the buttons on the remote to send the event to the log window. I kept on right-clicking and selecting Execute Item to open the Remote Window instead of creating an event to open it. Once again, thank you!

Hello, reusing old thread because relevance,

when I fire events from my Lcore logitech software it's easy to send it through command line example eventghost.exe -e "job jobname"

which then lets me use

eg.globlas.jobname = eg.event.payload[0]

Nice and easy.

But when I try to do the same with these remote buttons, no go, event has no payload.

How would I get the event trigger text so i can parse it into something like eg.event.trigger[0]?

Hi Dan,
I'm not sure if I understand it correctly, but does

Code: Select all

 eg.event.suffix

do what you like?

Exactly what I was looking for!!
I knew it existed, just couldn't put my pen on it haha.

Cheers!

I might clean this up and post in the share section, but here it is as is atm!

Adds remote buttons for each directory in the {eg.globals.jobs} folder.
Than each button sets jobname to it's name, and everything in my network places files or names photos, etc, into the active job location.
another remote that isn't ready has a ton of other related tools.
Keeps me sane.

Code: Select all
