Great Ultility.

All of my non-stock properties have become uneditable in the property manager since moving to 3.0. I noticed a new field in the properties table called protection. All rows in the table have this value set to 1. Changing its value to 0 allows me to edit properties.

Is that by design?

There is no way to hide controls that I know of. But you could use multiple panels. Create another panel without the control(s). Then you can use a task or script to open the panel you want when a state changes and close the previous panel. This will make it appear as though the controls are being h...

I had the exact same problem.

Two Questions -

Is there a way to affect the open style of a panel using a script?

Is there a way to close the panel using the reverse effect?

I'm tring to use this to create hidden windows that slide open and slide closed.

You're absolutely right. Didn't mean to imply that. Just brainstorming on a way to guide future efforts into some form of standardization. That way we, and others, can benefit and build from each others work. Sometimes my enthusiasm can be construed as criticism. “Nothing great was ever achieved wit...

Funny. I started a new post, too. I just moved my response to your post. Richard, I like what you've done here on the schedule. I have to say I disagree with Steve regarding no requirement to port to SQLite. There are very good reasons to get data in an SQL database. The first, and most obvious, thi...

Steve, About your THC Jukebox comments. I have already fixed the proper track shown on the library view. That was just an oversight. I will look at the shuffle issue. I think it plays by the list position number and since the list is shuffled it plays the next song wherever it was in the list. I wil...

If you could help me isolate what is going on with the shuffle. It might be getting confused if you're already playing something and it shuffles the list. Try stopping playback before you shuffle and see if you still have that problem. The Drill down works like this. As it stands, if you select Arti...

This is the method I use. It looks like I handle this the same way you do. SetpropertyValue "Sprinkler Zone Timer.Sleep Time", "Days=0, Hours=00, Minutes=" & GetPropertyValue("Sprinklers.Sprinklers Zone 1 Time") & ", Seconds=00, MilliSeconds=0" Sprinkl...

Thanks for the props. I have to give credit to Richard Naninck for helping me and giving me really good ideas, too. I might have even stole a couple of them. OK a lot of them. Seriously, he really is a very good asset to this group. I wanted to make this available to give something back, and his per...

Clever and elegant solution. I can really use any remote code that I'm not using. I just picked one. I have a URC remote and I can program it to do about anythingbut so far, I have not found a code that it doesn't send multiple times. On another note, I noticed a ver minor bug/diffrence with 3.0 whe...

I accept defeat, but I still think it's broke. I still have no resolution on this problem. The IR device gets 3 to 4 consecutive commands no matter how I learn the command or what the repeat command is set for. In fact, it doesn't appear to affect the receive side of things. The plugin on the receiv...

It wouldn't be too hard for you to do. You can use a free program like irfanview to scale all of the graphics down. Since all my graphics are based on 1024x768 touchscreen, which is a 4x3 aspect ratio, they will scale nicely. There is much less real estate so you would probably have to create multip...

Steve, You're right. It will only work with mp3's at the moment. I only us mp3's because they are not system specific and they have extensive tagging functionality. That way I can rip them again using a different format or higher quality as I wish. I currently use VBR with a birate of 192 and I have...
