EventGhost close itself?

bskip · Post by **bskip** » Sat Sep 05, 2009 3:11 pm

Is there a command I can run in EventGhost to have it close itself on an event? I've been searching the forum and trying things for a few days and can't seem to get it to work. If I run an external program that just ends the EventGhost.exe process it still leaves the tray icon in the corner. It seems like there must be a more elegant way to do this.

Thanks!

EventGhost version: EventGhost 0.3.7.r1194
OS Version: Windows 7 RTM

Could you tell us the reason for it?

I've got a USB-Uirt that I'm using with a MCE remote that I use to control the computer and turn my TV and home theater receiver on and off. I've had a problem where the USB-Uirt randomly stops responding. I've tried putting ferrite beads on the USB-Uirt cable and that fixed the problem except for when the computer wakes up from sleep. I've tried having EventGhost disable the USB-Uirt plugin before sleeping and enable it again on resume but that didn't work. I've tried putting in a command in EvenGhost to restart the USB-Uirt driver with Devcon.exe but that didn't work. The only thing I've found that works reliably every time is for when the computer resumes from sleep to run an external script from EventGhost OnResume that closes EventGhost, restarts the driver with Devcon.exe, and then restarts EventGhost. I've been just closing the process but like I said that leaves the tray icon in the corner and I'm worried the plugins might not be unloaded properly with this method. What I'd like it for EventGhost to be able to call the script OnResume and then close itself gracefully. The script would wait for EventGhost to close, then restart the driver and fire EventGhost back up.

Does that make sense?

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="0">
    <Macro Name="Exit EventGhost" Expanded="True">
        <Action>
            EventGhost.PythonScript(u'wx.CallAfter(eg.app.Exit)')
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>
