Paste where ever has focus - Page 3 - Forum - VisualNEO. Cross-platform App Development Tool for Windows

I am currently coding a product using this plugin and I must tell you that it's working for me as well as those who are beta testing this. Do you have the ability to test this on another machine to see if it's problematic there as well ? Also, can you test it with several different softwares, to be sure the problem is the plugin and not the application you're trying to address with it? While I haven't yet run into a stubborn window, it's entirely possible I would imagine.

I have asked Zaeem (the programmer) to visit this thread, and I'm sure when he wakes, that he will.

Sorry you're having difficulty with this. But I'm sure we'll narrow it down and determine what's happening, and if it's the plugin, we'll surely address it.

Hi Talker,

Please first download the most latest version of zmwWinTricks plugin from the site.

here, https://zmware.rcmediaservices.net/zmwwintricks/

Please find the attached sample project you asked for.

Thanks,

Zaeem.

Hi Zaeem,

Thanks for responding. I just downloaded and installed the most recent WinTricks (0000003) version and ran the WindowTransparentDemo.pub both in the NEO debugger as well as a compiled executable and nothing is happening.
Shouldn't there be a timer running as well? I don't see it in the pub file.

I assume that when I run the compiled executable from the Explorer folder window where it is located that Explorer window should become transparent, right? And if I run it from the debugger the NEO window should become transparent?

I'm using Windows 11 Home version 21H2

Alright, Could you please check if the designated window changes transparency through the given transparency sample pub in the zmwWinTricks plugin Sample folder? Also can you try this on any other window/ computer?

Please know that a MINIMIZED window is not an ACTIVE window. And Unregistered version of zmwWinTricks does not work after compilation. :)

When you run your application through debugger VisualNeo minimizes so that can't be considered Last active window, Did you open any app (for example notepad or any other) before running your application?

Thanks,

Zaeem.

Yes, the sample pub in the zmwWinTricks 0000003 Sample folder does work. Looks like you've successfully updated the plug-in :-).

I also got the WindowTransparentDemo.pub to work by removing zmwTransparentWindow "" "120" from startup and adding a Timer with that line (running the routine only once).

I just ordered WinTricks. Waiting for the serial/code...

One more request. Would it be possible in the sample pub to have the transparency track bar respond immediately (real-time) instead of first having to click the Transparent button?

I have another question. I see that in NEO (contrary to C# for instance) setting the focus to the TrackBar (or moving it to the front as object) does not make it accessible with the Arrow Keys.

I would like to move the TrackBar slider to the left or right with the Left and Right arrow keys (Up and Down would be fine as well). How do I do that? My first idea was to use NeoBook KB, but this of course is not about setting a hotkey, right?

Hi @talker,

Actually you should set a hotkey but not a GLOBAL hotkey. Ultimately you'll need to change the numeric value via variable, of the slider. The only place (that I know of) to set keyboard shortcuts is the menu section. You would have to create a menu item to match each shortcut you create. I would put a command line that raised (or lowered) your numeric value a given increment per keypress. This would only be responsive when the pub was active.

If you want this to work globally (across softwares, active or not) then you WILL need NeoBook KB as well. You can obtain window handles immediately when they become active and you can at that point, create a unique variable for that window, so that you may control it (by handle) from any other active window.

Perhaps we'll add that to one of the plugins moving forward...

Hi talker,

Please find attached sample pub. Just a work around.

And Yes, Perhaps we'll add that to one of the plugins moving forward.

@rcohen

Thanks for explaining this. This sure seems like a lot of work :-(. Adding this functionality to one of your existing (or upcoming) plug-ins would be very welcome.

@zmWorks7

The workaround does the job well! Thanks so much for that :-)

Hi @talker,

We do have another plugin in development that will address this issue. Actually we have two plugins in development that are pretty cool. Keep your eye on Zaeem, he's quite the magician ;-)

And thank you @talker for the enthusiasm.
