How to determine when Video+Vis windows open and close

[Kebabrov]

Heya,

Does anyone know what events need to be hooked to find out when the Video and Vis windows opened and closed?

I've been searching through the winamp moderns maki scripts and i couldnt see anything obvious.

Thanks

code:
System.onGetCancelComponent(String guid, boolean goingvisible)

{

	//Media Library

	if(guid == "{6B0EDF80-C9A5-11D3-9F26-00C04F39FFC6}")

	{

		if(!goingvisible)

		{

                             return TRUE;

		}

		if(goingvisible)

		{

		             return TRUE;

		}

	}

	//PlayList

	else if(guid == "{45F3F7C1-A6F3-4EE6-A15E-125E92FC3F8D}")

	{

		if(!goingvisible)

		{

		        return TRUE;

		}

		if(goingvisible)

		{

			return TRUE;

		}			

	}

	//Video

	else if(guid == "{F0816D7B-FFFC-4343-80F2-E8199AA15CC3}")

	{

		if(!goingvisible)

		{

			return TRUE;

		}

		if(goingvisible)

		{

                        return TRUE;

		}

	}

	//Visualizer

	else if(guid == "{0000000A-000C-0010-FF7B-01014263450C}")

	{

		if(!goingvisible)

		{

			return TRUE;

		}

		if(goingvisible)

		{

			return TRUE;

		}

	}

	else {}

}

returning 0 (FALSE) will prevent the action, but only works sometimes. return 1 (TRUE) allows it to go ahead.

does onGetCancelComponent occur when a window opens aswell? so is 'goingvisible' true when a window opens?

ta

yes

The function name actually is two things, OnGetComponent and OnCancelComponent, but merged together to form OnGetCancelComponent and uses a second parameter to distinguish Get/Cancel behaviour.

ah right. when i first skimmed through Single GUI maki's, i was confused at how it detected stuff being opened.

i was plannin to tweak a few things in the SingleGUI skin, but it seems another person got there first. (Probably a good thing too, since i've never made any skins before )

cheers all

And MAKI looks a lot like C++ in more than one way. I think it's a cross between all C based languages (C, C++, JavaScript, Java, C sharp). SO you do have to know some programming to feel instantly familiar with it.
