Guest drblow Posted January 24, 2004 Report Posted January 24, 2004 Is it possible to get the MRU plugin hidden when unselected?
Guest MPXtricky Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 Alright geezer? maybe you can tweak the XML so the MRU behaves like the 'Missed Calls' plugin? Being a mainframe dinosaur meself, I don't know whether this is feasible. II'll have a play and if I get anywhere with it I'll PM ya laters
Guest drblow Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 The MRU plugin just doesnt seem to respond to things the other plugins do, like h="0" hiding it when unselected. Even if I could change text colour between selected/unselected would be good.
Guest MPXtricky Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 Text color? My plugin only shows icons - what text are you on about? How about playing with the actual ICON bits of the XML - have a limit of 1 maybe, and then a different bmp for unselected state. I am probably talking crap. Have you looked at the Microsoft site/newsgroups?
Guest drblow Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 The text for the app name! Doesnt that work on mpx? I've done images which is a kind of workaround, but I really want to make it disappera altogether when unselected. It would seem from a bit of research that it's probably the icon that wont allow it to be hidden. Dunno really, but I think its a non-starter! :cry:
Guest zeta101 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 if you check the MSDN file on customising for SP2002 they list all the attributes you can change for each plugin, and i dont think you can use the "selected" or "unselected" attribs for the MRU plugin...
Guest zeta101 Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 you could always ask someone to write a plugin thats simialr to the MRU one but has the feature you want, might only be worth it if some other cool things are implemented at the same time though...
Guest scott2eyes Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 The MRU plugin just doesnt seem to respond to things the other plugins do, like h="0" hiding it when unselected. Does that just hide the actual text in the plugin, or is there a way to get it to change the height of the plugin itself? (ie. so all the plugins below it shift up/down depending on whether or not it's selected.)
Guest drblow Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 em ... not really sure what you mean there!! The h="0" is the way other plugins (calender etc) can be hidden when unselected. It hides the text, yes. But it doesnt work on the MRU plugin. What I have managed to do is hide the appname text in the MRU plugin, by giving it an unselected x="200", which hides it off the screen. You cant change the height of the actual plugin itself between selected/unselected states - if thats what you mean.
Guest scott2eyes Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 You cant change the height of the actual http://smartphone.MoDaCo.com/viewtopic.php?t=714>plugin itself between selected/unselected states - if thats what you mean. That's what I meant- I had the idea of making a homescreen with fixed plugins at the top, and then a section at the bottom that would appear to be scrolling by only displaying the selected plugin and all others having a height of 0 or 1. But I can't get any of my plugins to hide when they aren't selected, and I've tried every way I can think of! I can get it to change fgcolor, bgcolor etc, but for some reason it's not hiding anything... Could you post a chunk of the XML to show how you've got it working?
Guest scottt Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 Not 100% shure what you mean but check out my simpsons home screen I only have 1 mru shown at any given time with no text. If this is what you mean I will post the code.mru.gif
Guest celsol Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 Even if I could change text colour between selected/unselected would be good. Dr Blow this might help: <plugin clsid="{79EFB752-CB70-446d-B317-499723482B3D}" name="mru" height="38"> Â <background b-border-width="0" /> Â <mru icon-size="16" max-buttons="1" x="44" button-image="IPSMApplication DataHomesb_mru.gif" button-transparent-color="#00FF00" padding-right="10" /> <appname> Â <format state="unselected" y="38" /> Â <format state="selected" font-size="12" x="48" y="9" w="85" /> Â </appname> Â </plugin> As used in my Splashback skin, rather than changing the colour just push it out of sight of the plugin height when unselected, if that is what you want to achieve.
Guest drblow Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 Yes indeed m8 - that IS what I have done with the appname text (well, I actually put it at an x="200" value to push it off the side of the screen, but same effect). Is there a way to do the same with the icon itself?
Guest celsol Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 Yes indeed m8 - that IS what I have done with the appname text (well, I actually put it at an x="200" value to push it off the side of the screen, but same effect).Sorry m8 I only saw the question not the source of whatever skin you are refering too! Is there a way to do the same with the icon itself? Hmmm... not sure have you tried nesting it in the Orange clsid="{A2536C57-6AC2-4c31-9542-B144B0E9D077}" plugin?
Guest drblow Posted January 30, 2004 Report Posted January 30, 2004 Cool - I havent actually posted any homescreen relating to this yet - I'm in the middle of trying stuff out before posting anything! mmm ... I'm not entirely sure what you mean about "nesting" the icon in the orange clsid?? Can you post some xml that does this? Cheers.
Guest simon211175 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Posted July 6, 2005 hope nobody minds me dusting off this old thread, but did anyone ever find a way to hide the MRU icon when the plugin is unselected?
Guest Jamma14 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 Yeah, I'd be interested in this too, anyone find a way??
Guest drblow Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 hope nobody minds me dusting off this old thread, but did anyone ever find a way to hide the MRU icon when the plugin is unselected? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good work on searching for past posts rather than making a new one! But unfortunately I never did find a way to do that! :x
Guest simon211175 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Posted July 8, 2005 I usually ask questions too obscure so nobody knows the answer anyway - at least this one had been asked before :)
