Um... Duh... Sorry again. Just read your message again. More carefully.

I will send the files on this evening (we're EST here, GMT-5h, so I guess that would be at about 0200 Zulu).

Sorry 'bout that. I shut down and rebuilt the server machine. Unfortunately I don't plan to restart the web or FTP server.

Any suggestions how I can get the files to you?

Um... sorry. I used the NVidia control panel to switch the displays (I know that you told me to use the normal display properties dialog in Windows, but it was late and I had a brain cramp when I was testing this).

The result is different when using the windows display properties to change the ...

Very neat. Unfortunately...

The script recognises the settings for the primary and secondary monitor, but does not regognise which[\b] monitor is secondary and which is primary.

For example:
Monitor = DFP 1280 x 1024
Projector = LCD 1280 x 720

Set Monitor=primary, projector off
Create new macro ...

Interresting.

Will test.

Thank You!

That was exactly what I was looking for. EG is now doing almost everything I want.

I have a digital flat panel and an LCD projector connected to my NVidia 6600gt video card, and I prefer to use the VMR9 renderer. Due to limitations with the NVidia hardware/drivers, VMR9 will only operate properly on the primary monitor. I accommodate this limitation by manually switching the ...

Thanks, I understand now.

I was using a two step process.
Step 1 - macro "A" to convery USB-UIRT event "FC18D23C590C" to a meaningful event "VolumeUp"
Step 2 - macro "B" to take action "Device.RaiseVolume" based on the event "VolumeUp"

I now understand that this process will work for any action ...

Hi,

First, this is what I want to do: Press the volume-up button on my remote and have the volume on my receiver (controlled by RS232) simultaneously increase.

I have tried using the AutoRepeat action. With the volume-up button held on the remote, the macro generates a continuous stream of ...

Clearly I have a lot more to learn, if I am going to use Python effectively!

Object oriented programming has changed a lot since the days of Borland Turbo C++

Thanks. I looked and looked and looked... and finally had to settle for the kluge you saw.

I also had some trouble with variable scope, but this object oriented stuff is pretty new to me. I wanted to define global constants for STX, ETX DC1, DC2 and DC3. Apparently they're already part of the ...

I've taken a shot at writing my first plug-in for EG - a serial plug-in that allows control of Yamaha RX-Vx000 series receivers. This one is tailored for the RX-V1000, but it could be easily modified to support the V1500 and V3000 receivers.

It's been 15 years since I wrote any code, and never ...
