[Req] Volume widget for avedesk/avescripter

[Phat-Liz0rd]

Hi,

I've been trying to create a widget that displays the sound level just like Kapsules Mr. Volume or the volume bezel from OSX. Believing that a simple XMLfile and some vbscripting would get me there, I started out on this quest to do something productive, but ended up failing... miserably.

I know that I should access some information from c:windowssndvol32, but I have no clue whatsoever how to do that. VuMeter does something alike, but that, of course, is not made with avescripter.

Now here's my request:

Could someone tell me how in gods name I can make a vbscript or something similar that would enable me to make this kind of widget?

Why not contact Mr.Volume developer and ask him. Also you may want to make a port = then youll need a permission

Interesting. Not sure if it's possible to set the audiomixers volume thru scripting (WMI or the likes)... Maybe herd knows an answer?

I'll take a look at Mr.Volume and see if there is a need to add a feature in avescripter.

Yay!

Thanks for the replies guys

It's not possible to direct-port the Mr.Volume. Kapsules use quite a different idea of widget rendering and (what is the most important) VBScript.NET with direct importing of .NET namespaces for scripting. I saw the Mr.Volume source code - it's unreal (IMHO) to pull it into AveScripter's dome

This is a nono with script.

But AveScripter can offer this as a function or property to scripts I am sure

It would have to be added to the API of scripter. Been looking into it.

Well, I'm really glad this didn't end up in the trash bin of impossible ideas
