Damein Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Hey there, so I developed this program as a learning experience and decided to use it for another tech support forum I utilize and thought maybe I would expand upon it. Currently its in beta phase and it doesn't have all the bells and whistle's yet but I thought I would share it So what it does is you select a topic you wish to keep an eye on and if there is a new post to said topic it will alert you; either by a window stating such or it can play a sound of your choosing. And since AutoIt's forums disallow you to view some sections as guest it may not work on all of them! Just log out and try and view the topic as a guest and if you can you should be good to go. Thanks! ******************************* EDIT ******************************* Info found in second post! Edited September 8, 2014 by Damein Most recent sig.

Damein Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) An update to this! Alright guys, I'm gonna roll out this beta version. The program at the moment can handle (I believe as many topics as you want) It can only handle this website and the TeamFortressTV website's forums. Plans for more forums to come. If you have a specific forum you would really like to see on here, PM me about it and I'll see if I can push out a personal one for you. So the GUI is pretty self explanatory I believe. If you have any questions let me know. You cannot remove the first item in the list (Shown in this post as An R.S.S. Production) You can add a new topic, which all you need is the URL and the name you wish to give it, the program should do the rest. Be warned, if you put in a URL that isn't the first page of a topic you will most likely make the program explode, just sayin'. Removing a topic does not fully remove it, it just won't be checked or shown in the list (I don't think I allowed it to be checked.. I'll look into the in a couple days when I have more time) And if at anytime you try and re-add said topic it will alert you of it and ask if you simply want to add it back. Viewing topic will open the topic in your default browser. Sound will select where instead of a window stating a new post is found (It also now shows which topic it is as well) a sound of your choosing is played. Change Time Interval will change how long in between refreshes in x minutes. Change refresh style chooses whether or not you want it to automatically scan or manually. And refresh is.. well.. if you can't understand it, don't use the internet. So yeah, page link is: This doohickey. Enjoy and let me know what you think/any problems you run into!

Noviceatthis Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi, love the program, I was just wondering how you made the skin?? It looks really cool. (Apologies if the question is stupid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's using the USkin library for the GUI skinning. Be aware though, the USkin dll is only available in a 32 bit version, it won't run as a 64 bit program so you'd have to add the line "#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n" at the top of the script. Also, USkin doesn't handle Unicode characters, so if you're using anything other than ANSI it might not display correctly. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post.
