Plugin Updates

[Imagine Programming]

@Sakuya, Nice one mate, I really like declaring eventfunctions like that! :yes
And ofcourse, I like the L-OOP, but that's old news

And the XMLifier is dam nice, guess where I've done the actionxml
of the PluginInfo plugin with

Release theeem!

Updates from Source Laboratories!

I made a Object-Orientated version of RizlaUK's ListIcon, called it ListIconEx.

I find it a lot easier to manipulate ListIcon objects like this, it's also a good way to use their event hooks.

Example:

ListIconObject = ListIconEx.CreateObject(0, 0, 0, 0, "Column 0", 300, {ObjectHost = ListBox.GetProperties("ListBox1").WindowHandle});

ListIconObject.OnKey = function(Key)
	Dialog.Message("", "Key code recieved was "..tostring(Key));
end

ListIconObject:SetUpdate(false);

ListIconObject:AddColumn("Column 1", 250);

for K, V in pairs({"bmp", "exe", "url", "php", "txt", "cmd", "rar", "zip", "7z", "tar.gz", "img", "gcf"}) do
	ListIconObject:AddRow(V.."|"..V.." file.", ListIcon.ExtensionIcon(V));
end

ListIconObject:SetUpdate(true);

And an easier way to write Action templates.

Stick this in your Lua code.

--[[
	<data>
		<name>ListIconEx.CreateObject</name>
		<description>Creates an object-orientated ListIcon object.</description>
		<return>ListIcon</return>

		<argument name="X" type="number" description="The X position of the ListIcon." default="0" />
		<argument name="Y" type="number" description="The Y position of the ListIcon." default="0" />
		<argument name="Width" type="number" description="The width of the ListIcon." default="0" />
		<argument name="Height" type="number" description="The height of the ListIcon." default="0" />
		<argument name="ColumnText" type="string" description="The text to be placed in the first column." default="Column0" />
		<argument name="ColumnSize" type="number" description="The size of the first column." default="250" />
		<argument name="Flags" type="table" description="Flags for use in creating the ListIcon." />
	</data>
]]--

Run it through the generator.

It can also generate HTML help files.

(nothing to release yet, i'm afraid.)

Here's an example with the new plugin update.

[Centauri Soldier]

StatusBar Update

1.3.0.0
Added side and bottom padding options
Added the ability to make the StatusBar background and/or border transparent

The padding options come in handy when you have a project with a custom mask and background. In such a case, you may not want the status bar all the way to the bottom and sides of the window.

GlobalPaths Update

1.3.0.0
Updated the IRLua Plugin Helper Functions (version 2.4)
Configured GlobalPaths to automatically detect a renamed resource folder
Fixed a bug that occurred when using MoleBox VS

[Centauri Soldier]

1.2.0.1
Simplified the creation process and variables
Fixed a bug that caused an error when no image file was specified

[Centauri Soldier]

Woops, forgot to post a new example after adding the new image support.

Here ya go.

[jassing]

1.2.0.0
Fixed a bug in the dialog resize code
Added Image(as status bar icon) support

There ya go, Bas.

When running the demo, I got errors on line 1 global, needed 12 args. double clicked on it -- nothing seemed right; so I took the defaults; but then got an error about concatenating a nil.

I remember reading about that at some point but I don't quite get it. What does it export them to? Lua code? And where does one call the action?

So would I wrap the dll into a plugin and then export it?

EDIT: I'm using an old version of the APC. That's probably why i have no idea what you're talking about. Where do I get the new version?
EDIT2: Nevermind..I found it. Da*& I'm slipping today. I need to get over this cough, making me all loopy.

PSDK export feature? What is that?

huh, the plugin compiler, exports dll's

PSDK.ExportArchive(3000 , IRLUA_PLUGIN_DLL_PATH);

[Centauri Soldier]

@Centauri, Oeh i'm interested! I wonder what it is :yes

And a paragraph? That's really clever! I wouldn't have thought that one
up lol! Perhaps some 16x16px iconsupport? (png)

Thanks, IP. It occurred to me in a dream...well not really but I thought simple would be best.

Could you be more specific as far as the image goes? Maybe I can work it in. I was also thinking about adding a few other sections to the bar separated by a "|". Not sure about that one though. I wonder if they would be useful.
