Is a volume bar OSD possible?

Post by 110220Volts »

I figured out the answer to my previous post with some regedit fun but I now what a system and a Winamp Volume bar (Like the one you get with some of the keyboard/Soundcard/laptop/etc drivers
Does Event Ghost have an option for that? I already know I can get a simple OSD but is a Volume Bar OSD Possible?
Thanks

Yes some here helped me to create a volume bar for MPC that also has percentage after it. This shows how it works in MPC.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1194">
    <Macro Name="Volume Up" Expanded="True">
        <Event Name="X10.Up" />
        <Action>
            MediaPlayerClassic.VolumeUp()
        </Action>
        <Action>
            EventGhost.PythonScript(u'from eg.WinApi.Dynamic import SendMessage\nTBM_GETPOS = 1024\nFind_MPC_Volume_Ctrl=eg.WindowMatcher(u\'mpc-hc.exe\', u\'{*}Media Player Classic{*}\', u\'MediaPlayerClassicW\', u\'\', u\'msctls_trackbar32\', 1, True, 0.0, 0)\nhwnd = Find_MPC_Volume_Ctrl()\n\nM = 2\n\nif len(hwnd) > 0:\n    volume = int(SendMessage(hwnd[0], TBM_GETPOS, 0, 0)/5)\n    eg.result = volume*M*u\'\\u2588\'\n    volume2 = SendMessage(hwnd[0], TBM_GETPOS, 0, 0)\n    eg.result2 = volume2\nelse:\n    print "Window not found"\n    eg.result = \'\'')
        </Action>
        <Action>
            EventGhost.ShowOSD(u'Volume: {eg.result} {eg.result2}%', u'0;-48;0;0;0;400;0;0;0;238;3;2;1;49;Lucida Console', (255, 0, 0), (0, 0, 0), 0, (60, 150), 0, 2.0, False)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            EventGhost.AutoRepeat(0.59999999999999998, 0.59999999999999998, 0.01, 2.0)
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>
