OSM (On Screen Menu)

Post by Pako »

I put the plugin "OSM" (On Screen Menu) into the SVN trunk. So far, is with a symptom noinclude. I want to first go through the "authorization". I think it is now operating satisfactorily, but perhaps could also be slightly improved?
Here is download link.

EDIT 2009-06-08: Download link changed to new SVN
EDIT 2011-04-11: Download link changed to origin SVN

This seems to work very well for me. I use the on screen remote to a great extent but this looks like it will be much easier to setup. Only thing is I have to double click a menu item to get it to work, I'd rather be able to single click.

Good work and thanks.

The menu is created on the basis of wx.ListBox and therefore it is not possible. Would need to redo the whole.

So far, I have no idea. The problem is that I have no possibility to work on a PC with two monitors. As soon as I find a place with such an opportunity, I try to add the option a monitor selection.

I made some improvements to plugin (new version 0.1.8 ).
1) Is it possible to choose the default event prefix
2) If the event string (menu item) contains a dot, the first part is used as a prefix, instead of default event prefix (see Tooltip)
3) The plugin now has a new feature, that is described in the help string (displayed by clicking on "more ..." in the main dialog plugin).

Hi.

Could it be possible to link the butons 1-9 to the menu? like 1 for the first choise on the menu and 2 for the secound. The way i have done it now is to have "2" go down once before cliking but if i press the down boton an then deside to press 2 it goes to the wrong one.

Hope you understand what i mean.

New version 0.1.9 released - added Hotkey section.
Button 0 acts as a "10".
Here you can download the Tarball.
Please try and report results.

I think, it is absolutely unnecessary to do a support of sub-menu. You can create any number of different menues and between the menues you can do any bindings through events.

I Pako,

I'm using your plugin OSM. it works perfectly But, there is a but, I observed that with the OSM commands Up and Down i'm not able to navigate with more than 4 elements.

With the keybord i can up and down no problems.

Can you confirm me (or not) that you are able to use a menu with more than 4 items with the embeded up and down commands.

Best regards,

Bob

Hi!
I just tried it. I made the menu with seven items and I tried to move up and down.
I did not find any problem. It would need to connect more information. What is your OS and what remote?
