Trigger macro if (eg.variable == 0)

[vali_ics]

Hello guys.
I'm new to python but i have some questions about eventghost and i want to be clear in future.
I have like this 3 macros based on some applications.

Code: Select all

eg.ProgramName = 'Chrome'

Code: Select all

eg.ProgramName = 'Opera'

Code: Select all

if (eg.ProgramName == 'Chrome'):
          eg.TriggerEvent ("ChromeTrigger")
elif (eg.ProgramName == 'Opera'):
          eg.TriggerEvent ("OperaTrigger")

1. How can i trigger the last macro based on eg.ProgramName variable ?
I'm thinking to create a eg.TriggerEvent ("ProgramName") and trigger the last one based on Main.ProgramName event.
Is this viable or it's another easy way ?

2. Should i make all variable like this eg.Variable or eg.globals.Variable ?
On web i find only eg.globals.Variable, i want to know how should i use in future.

Thanks, have a good day!

Although particular constructions

Code: Select all

eg.ProgramName = 'Chrome'

works, it is very inconvenient.
It may happen that you accidentally overwrite an important attribute of the object eg.
Always use

Code: Select all

eg.globals.ProgramName = 'Chrome'

1. How can i trigger the last macro based on eg.ProgramName variable ?
I'm thinking to create a eg.TriggerEvent ("ProgramName") and trigger the last one based on Main.ProgramName event.
Is this viable or it's another easy way ?

In this case, it is probably best to use Python dictionary:

Code: Select all

myDict={'Chrome':'ChromeTrigger','Opera':'OperaTrigger'}
eg.TriggerEvent(myDict[eg.globals.ProgramName])

Thanks a lot @Pako.
I have a question again. I can't find anything like this.

1. Trigger - > Main.OK.Computer.google wikipedia (trigger it's from a raw_input)
2. Python Script

Code: Select all

command = 'Main.OK.Computer.google wikipedia'
search = command.split(' ')
if command.find('google'):
    print('working') #just for debugg
else:
    print('not working') ##just for debugg

How can i get the Trigger Name into a variable ?
I tried with eg.event.payload but don't work.

Code: Select all

command = trigger_name_var

I can make a trigger with a dynamic variable ? And how ?

I seached google a lot but i can't find anything for this.
