Desktop Remote

[Bitmonster]

The latest beta includes the Desktop Remote plugin. It allows you to create a remote like window, that you can use to generate events with your mouse. To set it up you have to add the Desktop Remote plugin to your configuration of course. Then you have to create a new macro with a "Create New Remote" action first. After that you configure the button layout with "Add Button" and "Start New Line" actions. Finally you have to add a "Show" action to the macro and let the macro execute. I have attached an example, that looks quite similar to the Webserver example. This is the first release and the dialogs need some work. Otherwise it seems quite functional yet.

Cool plugin. I am a bit confused on what I should put in the Event textbox to have it fire up an event saved witin a Context Folder.

Thanks

Figured it out. I made an exclusive when this macro is run to a context folder and the Event names are simply names associated w/ each macro within the context folder.

Sweet plug in.!!! Exactly what I was looking for.

How do a close the Desktop Remote?

Python script:

Code: Select all

eg.plugins.Window.FindWindow(None, u'Remote', u'wxWindowClassNR', None, None, 1, False, 0.0, 0)
eg.plugins.Window.Close()

manuelly typing the names in the findWindow dialog also works. You just can't choose EG's windows.

Sometimes the buttons don't come up again and stay pressed.
I also would like to move the remote to negative screen coordinates and a secondary display.

=> 1148
+ Close action
+ negative positions

The clamping buttons: have you enabled the memory limit function in EG options?

[Bartman]

Currently I don't have any problems with clamping buttons, but I disabled the memory limit function since memory propably won't be an issue.
Isn't this feature only for administrator users?

But I have another issue. Double clicking on empty area (filled with invisible buttons as spacer) minmizes the remote. Holding down and moving the cursor moves the windows. Both happen quite often using a touchpad.
Is there a way to disable the taskbar entry?

This is intentional. I use the remote without border and caption, so there is no common way to move the remote around or minimize it quickly. And if minimized or covered by another window, there is no way to get it back without the taskbar entry. But I can create an option to disable this.

I would like such an option. When using it on a touchpad and not looking where I touch it happens quite frequently.

[bolets]

is it possible to have it "stay on top"?

[Creops]

I have two monitors, one is touchsensitive and I want to use the Desktop Remote on that to control the PC and other stuff then I'm playing games.
And the control bit goes well, but every time I click on one of the buttons the Remote gets in focus and I get tabbed out of the game.

Are there any way to have the buttons activate but stop the window from getting in focus?
