$pvar() Questions: Need Some Help With My Code

2007-07-11 14:09:33

I have (for about 4-5 hours now) been TRYING my hardest to figure out why my code doesn't function correctly. For the life of me, I just can't seem to wrap my head around this pvar stuff.
What I am trying to do:
I am trying to make a panel that switches between 3 (and eventually more) pages of images that I can use as my background. I have the visuals working very nicely, but I can't seem to get the arrows to scroll between the 'pages'.

Here is my code for the background panel:

Code: [Select]

//==========
// Global
//==========
$puts(bg-dir,'C:\Program Files\foobar2000\FoOrby\bgs')
$puts(bgX,220)
$puts(bgY,170)
$puts(bgW,%_width%)

//==========
// PerTrack
//==========
$button2(5,$eval({%_height%/2}-15),0,0,35,30,'$font(Wingdings,24,,255-255-255)ç','$font(Wingdings,24,,255-255-255)ç',PVAR:SET:bgpageRW:$ifequal($getpvar(bgpageRW),1,2,3),TOOLTIP:"Previous Backgrounds")
$button2($eval(%_width%-40),$eval({%_height%/2}-15),0,0,35,30,'$font(Wingdings,24,,255-255-255)è','$font(Wingdings,24,,255-255-255)è',PVAR:SET:bgpageFW:$ifequal($getpvar(bgpageFW),3,2,1),TOOLTIP:"Next Backgrounds")

$setpvar(bg-value,PVAR:SET:bg-value:1)
//====|PAGE ONE|====
$puts(page1,
//-----BG IMAGE 1
$imageabs2($get(bgX),$get(bgY),-55,-20,$get(bgW),%_height%,0,0,$get(bg-dir)\img$eval($getpvar(bg-value)+1).*,NOKEEPASPECT)
$button(55,20,0,0,220,170,$get(bg-dir)\overlay2.png,$get(bg-dir)\overlay.png,$setpvar(buttoncmd,img1),TOOLTIP:"")
//-----BG IMAGE 2
$imageabs2($get(bgX),$get(bgY),-295,-20,$get(bgW),%_height%,0,0,$get(bg-dir)\img$eval($getpvar(bg-value)+2).*,NOKEEPASPECT)
$button(295,20,0,0,220,170,$get(bg-dir)\overlay2.png,$get(bg-dir)\overlay.png,$setpvar(buttoncmd,img2),TOOLTIP:"")
//-----BG IMAGE 3
$imageabs2($get(bgX),$get(bgY),-535,-20,$get(bgW),%_height%,0,0,$get(bg-dir)\img$eval($getpvar(bg-value)+3).*,NOKEEPASPECT)
$button(535,20,0,0,220,170,$get(bg-dir)\overlay2.png,$get(bg-dir)\overlay.png,$setpvar(buttoncmd,img3),TOOLTIP:"")
)

//====|PAGE TWO|====
$puts(page2,
//-----BG IMAGE 4
$imageabs2($get(bgX),$get(bgY),-55,-20,$get(bgW),%_height%,0,0,$get(bg-dir)\img$eval($getpvar(bg-value)+4).*,NOKEEPASPECT)
$button(55,20,0,0,220,170,$get(bg-dir)\overlay2.png,$get(bg-dir)\overlay.png,$setpvar(buttoncmd,img4),TOOLTIP:"")
//-----BG IMAGE 5
$imageabs2($get(bgX),$get(bgY),-295,-20,$get(bgW),%_height%,0,0,$get(bg-dir)\img$eval($getpvar(bg-value)+5).*,NOKEEPASPECT)
$button(295,20,0,0,220,170,$get(bg-dir)\overlay2.png,$get(bg-dir)\overlay.png,$setpvar(buttoncmd,img5),TOOLTIP:"")
//-----BG IMAGE 6
$imageabs2($get(bgX),$get(bgY),-535,-20,$get(bgW),%_height%,0,0,$get(bg-dir)\img$eval($getpvar(bg-value)+6).*,NOKEEPASPECT)
$button(535,20,0,0,220,170,$get(bg-dir)\overlay2.png,$get(bg-dir)\overlay.png,$setpvar(buttoncmd,img6),TOOLTIP:"")
)

//====|PAGE TWO|====
$puts(page3,
//-----BG IMAGE 7
$imageabs2($get(bgX),$get(bgY),-55,-20,$get(bgW),%_height%,0,0,$get(bg-dir)\img$eval($getpvar(bg-value)+7).*,NOKEEPASPECT)
$button(55,20,0,0,220,170,$get(bg-dir)\overlay2.png,$get(bg-dir)\overlay.png,$setpvar(buttoncmd,img7),TOOLTIP:"")
//-----BG IMAGE 8
$imageabs2($get(bgX),$get(bgY),-295,-20,$get(bgW),%_height%,0,0,$get(bg-dir)\img$eval($getpvar(bg-value)+8).*,NOKEEPASPECT)
$button(295,20,0,0,220,170,$get(bg-dir)\overlay2.png,$get(bg-dir)\overlay.png,$setpvar(buttoncmd,img8),TOOLTIP:"")
//-----BG IMAGE 9
$imageabs2($get(bgX),$get(bgY),-535,-20,$get(bgW),%_height%,0,0,$get(bg-dir)\img$eval($getpvar(bg-value)+9).*,NOKEEPASPECT)
$button(535,20,0,0,220,170,$get(bg-dir)\overlay2.png,$get(bg-dir)\overlay.png,$setpvar(buttoncmd,img9),TOOLTIP:"")
)

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//====|PAGE CODE|====
$select($getpvar(bgpageFW),
$ifequal($getpvar(bgpageFW),1,$get(page1),),
$ifequal($getpvar(bgpageFW),2,$get(page2),),
$ifequal($getpvar(bgpageFW),3,$get(page3),)
)

$select($getpvar(bgpageRW),
$ifequal($getpvar(bgpageRW),1,$get(page1),),
$ifequal($getpvar(bgpageRW),2,$get(page2),),
$ifequal($getpvar(bgpageRW),3,$get(page3),)
)

Then in my MAIN layout code page, I have this section that is meant to control the background image:

Code: [Select]

//==========
// Globals
//==========
$puts(background,'C:\Program Files\foobar2000\FoOrby\bgs')

//==========
// Background
//==========
$windowstyle(showtitlebar)
//----------------------------------TOP BARS----------------------------------
$imageabs2(%_width%,%_height%,0,0,1600,1200,0,0,$get(background)\$getpvar(buttoncmd).*,NOKEEPASPECT)

I can't figure out how to make the background panel scroll through the 9 images (back and forward) while making it so that clicking the image sets that image as my background. If having my config would make things any easier, I am willing to do that.

Any help would be really great. Thanks .

what about using somehting like that:

$button(.......,PVAR:SET:imagechange:1,)

$select($getpvar(imagechange),
image1
,
image2
,
image3
,
image4
)

if you set pvar to 1 image1 will be selected and so on...
ofcourse you need to change the buttoncode to achieve the behaviour. this is just the principle. i think this should work.

edit: and maybe for the button (scrolling forward) something like that (i didn't test it though):

Code: [Select]

$button(.....,
$ifgreater($get(imagechange)
   ,
   3
   ,
   set:pvar:imagechance:1
   , 
   $ifequal($get(imagechange)
      ,
      1
      ,
      set:pvar:imagechance:2
      ,
      )
      $ifequal($get(imagechange)
      ,
      2
      ,
      set:pvar:imagechance:3
      ,
      set:pvar:imagechance:1
      )
   )
,)
