Post by fxvideonet »

Hello,i'm a french newbie and i'm trying to understand the "activation exclusive" fonction. I know it's for exclusively using an application, but how can i do for killed the exclusive process when i have finished to use the application and i want to use another one? I have read the wiki but i don't find an answer.

Thanks for your response

Make a folder
Put a folder for each application under that folder
Build your macros in these folders

Enable/Disable works on the folder tree, only one item in that folder may be enabled at a time. By enabling one folder you disable the others all you need to do is enable a different folder.

Okay so far you are doing fine.

In the folder /Macros create 2 macros:
1 enable exclusive and point it to the /Macros/mediaplayer classic/ folder
2 enable exclusive and point it to the /Macros/windows mediaplayer/ folder

Now whenever one is enabled the other is disabled and opposite is true too. Now you need to figure out what event to make the 2 newly created macros work.

Under autostart you might add a trigger event action that makes the event EnableWindowsMediaPlayer, the event will log as Main.EnableWindowsMediaPlayer each time EventGhost starts. Then you pick something else to trigger the media player classic macro.
