Is there a way to detect if the windows theme, or the screen settings were changed?

Can you elaborate your question a bit? =)
Are you talking about Windows (e.g. Windows 10) theme? Or fb2k theme?
And there a lot of various screen settings as well both in fb2k and Windows...

Well, there are no such functions in JScript. But you could probably make something with window.setInterval, i.e. get, compare and update theme values from registry every N seconds .

Does anybody have or know of a fairly simple script for an input box?

I'm trying to replace the quicksearch toolbar with a jscript panel, but I'm not looking for a ready made script, which would probably have the same layout issues that the quicksearch toolbar has.  I've seen some configurations with a jscript searchbox, but they are far too complex to extrapolate the relevant code.
I thought I could build what I needed with the on_key_down and on_key_up events, but perhaps I've been a little too optimistic. What are the basic guidelines? Which callbacks should I use and, by the way, how do I get the proper character codes from key events?

function on_key_down(vkey) {
	var CtrlKeyPressed = utils.IsKeyPressed(VK_CONTROL);
	var ShiftKeyPressed = utils.IsKeyPressed(VK_SHIFT);
	switch (vkey) {
		case VK_DELETE:
			RemovePlaylistSelection(activeList, crop = false);
			break;
		case VK_KEY_A:
			CtrlKeyPressed && selectAll();
			break;
		case VK_KEY_F:
			CtrlKeyPressed && fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Edit/Search");
			ShiftKeyPressed && !CtrlKeyPressed && fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Library/Search");
			break;
		}

There is some good news though. Doing something on keypresses is the easy part! The delete and ctrl-A keys call functions specific to my theme, but ctrl-F and Shift-F will run different foobar searches which might be good enough for you.

Code: [Select]

function on_key_down(vkey) {
	var CtrlKeyPressed = utils.IsKeyPressed(VK_CONTROL);
	var ShiftKeyPressed = utils.IsKeyPressed(VK_SHIFT);
	switch (vkey) {
		case VK_DELETE:
			RemovePlaylistSelection(activeList, crop = false);
			break;
		case VK_KEY_A:
			CtrlKeyPressed && selectAll();
			break;
		case VK_KEY_F:
			CtrlKeyPressed && fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Edit/Search");
			ShiftKeyPressed && !CtrlKeyPressed && fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Library/Search");
			break;
		}

The issue is that JScript is not a web browser (which is my fucking dream... can you imagine how easy this stuff would be if we could use css/html for displaying panels and stuff -- I digress)

so you can't really do an input box without completely faking EVERYTHING. i.e. you'd have to draw a rectangle on the screen. When the user clicks on it you have to draw a carat. When the user presses a key you have to draw a character to the screen and move the carat, you have to redraw on backspaces,.... etc.


I assume it *could* be done and maybe someone has done it, but it sounds awful to me.

[Thanks a lot! This is the kind of starting point I'm looking for, and thanks for pointing me to the utils interface which for some reason I always fail to take into account. I still can't figure out a reasonable way to determine the character code, though. The combination of keycode and utils.IsKeyPressed is actually enough, but do I really have to go through all possible combinations one by one with a switch statement? Isn't there something like a keyboard mapping? Perhaps some array of values in the registry key?

var str = String.fromCharCode(65);    // str now contains 'A'

on_key_down returns standard ascii character codes. So values 65-90 correspond to A-Z (you need to check if VK_SHIFT is down for upper/lower though). If you want to output the key pressed to the screen you can do something like:

Code: [Select]

var str = String.fromCharCode(65);    // str now contains 'A'

Yes, the A-Z character codes, as well as the blank space and 0-9 characters, are the same as the key code, but all other symbols are messed up and I believe they change with the keyboard settings.

How do you escape the ampersand? The backslash doesn't seem to work as with other characters.
Basically: how can I write "Tom & Jerry" with a GdiDrawText method?

2. where to change the font type?

3. I want to display a text file with the name "discography.txt" in the root artist folder, the problem is that sometimes the depth of nesting, for example "artist \ album \" ... "artist \ album \ CD1"

$if($strcmp($directory(%path%),CD%discnumber%),$replace($directory_path(%path%),$directory(%path%),),$directory_path(%path%))
