No-Button-In-Taskbar-Winamp macro exclusivity workaround

Post by IceGothic »

See, I configured my winamp so it does not have a button eihter in the taskbar or the tray. I added a shortcut in EG to start it and access it when I want.

The problem is that when I focus winamp (either via EG shortcut or simply by clicking on it), This is what I see in the log (see image below).

As you can notice the "Task.Activated.winamp" works :) but is immediatly followed by "Task.Deactivated.winamp" and "Task.Activated.Desktop" making the macro macro exclusivity enabeling not working. I realized that if I put back the Taskbar button in winamp, the problem dosen't happen anymore.

So my question is: Is there a way or a workaround to make it work my way?

[EDIT] Just found the solution: Use "Actual Window Manager" to remove winamp's taskbar button; seems to work well in EG :)

Looks like there's still a problem... The button really is removed from TaskBar but still is accessible by doing ALT-TAB...

Anyone got an idea?

Found a solution!! I had to make a dll loaded in winamp and use a DirectoryWatcher macro to make it work! :o)

If you'd like to have this dll; just ask!
