    import eg
    xyz = "SleepNow"
    def SleepMode(myArgument):
        eg.TriggerEvent(xyz, repr(myArgument))

    task = eg.scheduler.AddTask(10, SleepMode, xyz)

The cancel Sleep Mode Macro

Code: Select all

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

        <Macro Name="Show OSD: Cancel Sleep Mode">

                EventGhost.ShowOSD(u'Cancel Sleep Mode', u'0;-24;0;0;0;700;0;0;0;1;0;0;2;32;Arial', (255, 255, 255), (0, 0, 0), 6, (0, 0), 0, 3.0, False)
            </Action>
            <Action>
                EventGhost.PythonCommand(u'eg.scheduler.CancelTask(task)')
            </Action>
            <Action>
                EventGhost.FlushEvents()

Sorry.
I wanted to delete only a shadow copy.

The solution is simple. You must use:

eg.globals.myTask = eg.scheduler.AddTask(...)
and
eg.scheduler.CancelTask(eg.globals.myTask)

Pako

Thank You it is working fien.
Can you tell me where can i learn more about python language (for eventghost) like variable,constant, etc?

Can you tell me where can i learn more about python language (for eventghost) like variable,constant, etc?

Specifically for the EG, here is only what is on this site in the Documentation and Wiki sections. I recommend to study carefully.
An ideal tool for debugging and learning is PyCrust 0.9.8 - The Flakiest Python Shell, which is (in EventGhost) accessible through the menu Help - Python Shell.
