James Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Hi all, For the first time since I have been here, I am not releasing the source code. Simple FAQ: Why is HotCorners accessing the internet? Most programmers will never gain feedback that they can actually work on. HotCorners is just downloading a file which will add to a counter. Why has HotCorners added to my registry? The only way I can find where the alloc.db is when the program is finished is to install values to the registry. Yes, you are correct if you are thinking to yourself that there is no way of editing what happens so why install to the registry? Well I uploaded the current BETA in a short time so never removed the install feature. HotCorners also adds a registry key for the Configuration Center, but this is normal for most programs anyway. What does each corner do? Since the 21st June, I have removed the message boxes telling you which corner you are in. Now HotCorners will perform a specified command the defaults are as follows: Corner Action Top Left Notepad Top Right Screensaver Bottom Left Internet Explorer Bottom Right Nothing To change these follow the simple instructions. Start --> Control Panel --> HotCorners: Configuration-Center. Now you can turn HotCorners on/off, set the delay before an action occurs and change what action each corner does! What actions can HotCorners currently perform? Quite a few considering! Here is a list. Key: Do = Perform an action (Screensaver/Logoff) | Run: = Runs a program. Actions marked in red do not work, or work correctly. Do: Maximize all WindowDo: Minimize all WindowsDo: Minimize current WindowDo: Restart PCDo: Shutdown PCDo: Turn off Monitor - Works on certain monitorsDo: Switch ProgramRun: Internet ExplorerRun: Mozilla FirefoxRun: MSPaintRun: NotepadRun: ScreensaverRun: iTunesNothing - Although nothing happens a command is still processed! The control panel is compiled with HotCorners Note: I am NOT releasing the source, please do not ask. Even if this is nothing amazing, please do not ask. Feedback, suggestions and criticism are welcome!Update: Now has uninstaller linked!To-Do: Add SelfDelete to Uninstaller, add own program to run and spice up control GUI. Thankyou, JamesHotCorners.exe Edited June 22, 2008 by JamesBrooks Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELyon Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 No source?! Quick everyone! Let's throw him up on a stick and roast his internal organs! J/K. I tried it out, you should add a way to configure it without the Control Panel. Also, when I move my mouse to the top left corner, it asks if I want to restart my computer. There is one button: "Ok". It's like it doesn't give you a choice. Although you can cancel it by pressing the X, it might be a little more clear if you give them a "Yes" or a "No" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gseller Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Ok, I pull it up from the control panel. What does it do and did you make an uninstall to remove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Ok, I pull it up from the control panel. What does it do and did you make an uninstall to remove it?Woops forgot to mention that. There is a switch /UNINSTALL Just like a config GUI, or a command line switch that lets you change the universal settings.So maybe HCC.exe /C TL screensaver?

NELyon Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Woops forgot to mention that. There is a switch /UNINSTALL So maybe HCC.exe /C TL screensaver?Yeah, that'd be cool. Does it support running your own EXE's too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Yeah, that'd be cool. Does it support running your own EXE's too?Not yet. See if there is a command line switch for changing the action, then adding your own program would just be difficult.

ludocus Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 you could use this to selfdelete your uninstaller: Func _DeleteMySelf($sDelay=0) $batchfile = @Tempdir&'\deleteme.bat' _FileCreate($batchfile) _FileWriteToLine($batchfile, 1, '@echo off'&@CRLF&'ping localhost -n '&$sDelay&' >nul'&@CRLF&'del '&FileGetShortName(@ScriptFullPath)&@CRLF&'Del %1', 1) Run ($batchfile, @WorkingDir, @SW_HIDE) exit EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valuater Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 A previous hot corners might help here ... it's really cool!!!http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...st&p=3052938) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandin Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 just a suggestion: maybe you could make one func. per corner? What I mean is: I set top-left corner = start FireFox, but when I moved my mouse to top-left corner HC launched 3 firefox windows and they would keep popping up unless user move the mouse away from the corner, I think only 1 should be ran, and if the user wants another one, move mouse away from top-left corner and back to it again. What do you think? anyway, I like the idea of this prog. Some cool glass and image menu | WinLIRC remote controler | Happy Holidays to all... | Bounce the sun, a game in which you must save the sun from falling by bouncing it back into the sky | Hook Leadtek WinFast TV Card Remote Control Msges | GDI+ sliding toolbar | MIDI Keyboard (early alpha stage, with lots of bugs to fix) | Alt+Tab replacement | CPU Benchmark with pretty GUI | Ini Editor - Edit/Create your ini files with great ease | Window Manager (take total control of your windows) Pretty GUI! | Pop-Up window from a button | Box slider for toolbar | Display sound volume on desktop | Switch hotkeys with mouse scroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
