Read/call a variable from another Plugin?

Is there a way to read the variable "codes" from this plugin (the Keyboard Plugin) from another plugin?
something like:
Code: Select all
class Keyboard(eg.PluginBase):
text = Text
def __init__(self):
self.AddEvents()
def __start__(self, universalMods = False, *dummyArgs):
SetKeyboardCallback(self.KeyboardCallback, int(universalMods))
def __stop__(self):
SetKeyboardCallback(None, 0)
def Configure(self, universalMods = True):
panel = eg.ConfigPanel()
universalModsCtrl = panel.CheckBox(universalMods, self.text.label)
panel.sizer.Add(universalModsCtrl, 0, wx.ALL, 20)
while panel.Affirmed():
panel.SetResult(universalModsCtrl.GetValue())
def KeyboardCallback(self, codes, num, lastNum):
if codes == "":
self.EndLastEvent()
else:
if num >= lastNum:
self.TriggerEnduringEvent(codes)
else:
self.EndLastEvent()
return HasActiveHandler("Keyboard." + codes)

something like:
No.
"codes"
is not a Keyboard
plugin variable.
It is only KeyboardCallback
function variable.
However, if it were really a "plugin variable", then it is of course possible.
So without a plugin modification is not possible to read the variable "codes".

many of my scripts and plugins use eg.globals.tgb to watch for key presses.
Is there a more
correct way to do this than adding the line " eg.globals.tgb = (codes)"
Code: Select all
def KeyboardCallback(self, codes):
eg.globals.tgb = (codes)
if codes == "":
self.EndLastEvent()
else:
shouldBlock = HasActiveHandler("Keyboard." + codes)
self.TriggerEnduringEvent(codes)
return shouldBlock
I know I shouldn't use eg.globals in plugins and I have to add the line every time I install Eventghost, but it works =)

Yes it is true.
This is a rule, written by Bitmonster:

The eg.globals namespace is exclusive for the user's Python scripts and commands.
If your plugin wants to publish variables to the user, the preferred way is to implement getter actions, that simply return the value. This way the user can also easily see all informations your plugin can provide.
And I vote for respect.
So modified plugin should look something like this:
Code: Select all
class Keyboard(eg.PluginBase):
text = Text
def __init__(self):
self.AddEvents()
self.AddAction(GetCodes)
def __start__(self, universalMods = False, *dummyArgs):
self.codes = ""
SetKeyboardCallback(self.KeyboardCallback, int(universalMods))
def __stop__(self):
SetKeyboardCallback(None, 0)
def Configure(self, universalMods = True):
panel = eg.ConfigPanel()
universalModsCtrl = panel.CheckBox(universalMods, self.text.label)
panel.sizer.Add(universalModsCtrl, 0, wx.ALL, 20)
while panel.Affirmed():
panel.SetResult(universalModsCtrl.GetValue())
def KeyboardCallback(self, codes, num, lastNum):
self.codes = codes
if codes == "":
self.EndLastEvent()
else:
if num >= lastNum:
self.TriggerEnduringEvent(codes)
else:
self.EndLastEvent()
return HasActiveHandler("Keyboard." + codes)
class GetCodes(eg.ActionBase):
def __call__(self):
return self.plugin.codes

Merry Christmas
Is there some chance this can be in the official release?

"""<rst>
This plugin generates events on keypresses (hotkeys).
**Notice:** If such a keyboard event is assigned to a macro, the plugin will
block the key, so Windows or another application will not see it anymore. This
is needed to permit remapping of keys as otherwise the old key would reach the
target in conjunction of another action you might want to do and this is
mostly not what you intend.
But this blocking only happens, if a macro would actually execute in
succession of the event. So if the macro or any of its parents is disabled,
the keypress will pass through.
