Not to be rude, but I have no clue what you just said. Could you rewrite that using commas and periods, please?

Well you oviously are being. And not to be rude but if you can't be bothered to read what i wrote because it doesn't have perfect commas and periods i won't bother trying again. But no doubt this is wrong also anyway... I guess i have to be a A* student to be taken seriously here on the forum because im a begginer/not as clever as others. Thanks

Anyway what i said was... (in simple list form)

1 - If a program is loaded that you set a command for the extension to notice then it runs a event.

2 - Focus/position ordering to set your app to top aways etc.

3 - Editing of windows GUI/menu styles.

4 - Organization of the taskbar tabs etc

1: So if I create the extension .test and associate my app to it, the app will be able to find the file that opened it? Or something like if an extension has an association that would open my app, it would be able to detect that. Sorry for my misundertanding.

2: Window Control Object.

3: Kernel Object, I think.

4: Is this even possible?

Sorry for being harsh. I just needed to be able to perfectly understand what you wanted so I didn't end up spending hours working on something nobody needs.

Ran_TH, Do you still need me to do any of those things, or have you arranged something with byo?

Well there is an option in windows to group windows in the taskbar with the same program [which I have], so yes it must be possible somhow.

**Jaffob** · 4th January 2009, 07:31 PM

Yes, I know that. I thought he meant choosing what order currently existing taskbar buttons were shown in.

Well basically say if a program is run the extension notices this and then runs your event. So you could make a helper app that or load a website whatever you wanted.

A possible example of a event -

Is MMF2.exe active?

Yes, then run the clickteam forum in firefox also.

OR

Yes, then run MMFHelper.exe (or whatever custom app you wanted)

Is MMF2.exe active? (Not)

Then close MMFHelper.exe (or whatever custom app you wanted)

Just quick basic examples, so it would just notice when any app you list is loaded or closed and let you run a event.

2: Window Control Object.

3: Kernel Object, I think.

Ok thanks for the suggestions i will check these out.

4: Is this even possible?

Well yeah i mean grouping etc like mentioned so you could have
your apps in a group then if any loaded fall under the catagory then place them in a group.

Sorry for being harsh. I just needed to be able to perfectly understand what you wanted so I didn't end up spending hours working on something nobody needs.

Well ok i guess, firstly you shouldn't expect a CV quality post from people, not everyone has time. The way i see it is someone mentioned my punctuation and you joined in for the put down or judged thing because of this.

Basically i liked your work and thought i would try to be helpful with some suggestions like i did with the Drag Object beta (and last time you liked my ideas and added them btw) but stuff like this sometimes make me think why even post here. If you have no clue what i said then you would have a hard time reading a lot of things i have seen posted online im sure.

Maybe not as refined with the punctuation as other but as you can see i don't like being looked down on and will react to things.

it would be awesome if this object could disable powersave mode for the monitor, my application isn't compatible with powersave mode...

thanks

atom-- when requesting something, you should spend the time to make it easy and readable, or else you would have to be really lucky to have your requests met.

p.s. don't take offence, just giving advice

I'll see if I can do that.

Atom: I did not mean to say anything like "Don't post here because you don't use punctuation." Since this is a more complicated object than others I have made, I needed to be as clear as possible. Your requests have always been worth adding to my extensions, so I wanted to be able to read this one without difficulty.

Ok cool no problem

Another useful feature that some programs do that might be worth adding would be to flash the tab/program entry in the taskbar. Programs that render images etc or take a while to finish will do this to alert the user when it is finished.
