if program is in focus..

[johnmacd]

I'm an EG user for a while now. I've been using it to control BeyondTV. But Now I'd like to add XMBC. VLC and WMC to my remote. I've been trying to figure out how to have EG detect which application has the focus, so that I can then direct it to the correct configuration folder. IE I'd have one for BeyondTV, XBMC, VLC and WMC.

I've tried the task create/switch plugin as some people have suggested. But I just cant figure it out. I've tried finding a python script, but dint have any luck.

Basically, what I'm looking for is:

if program A is in focus-then go use this this folder A1 (of commands)
If program B is in focus-then go use folder B1
if program C is in focus-then go use folder C1


I'm sure what I'm looking for is possible, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this task.

Can anyone help?

you have to use events , for xbmc these 2 events:
Process.Created.XBMC
Task.Activated.XBMC

You create a macro in the switch folder
event- Process.Created.XBMC
event- Task.Activated.XBMC
action - enable exclusive (which should point to xbmc folder in the programs folder)

downlaod my config to see how it work: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?bf58n15mb4ye8yu

I have re uploaded it for you see below:

This is my config xml it auto detect the apps you launch either manually(with the mouse) or with the OS menu
Controlled apps: mce, VLC, xbmc, dvbviewer totalmedia theatre... among others apps

By default the osd menu pop up on monitor 2 so you may want to change that if you don't have two monitors (just Put Osmenu1 macro above Osmenu2 in the switch folder)
