Flashing text

[AllenConquest]

Is it possible to output flashing text from a plugin. I want to be able to control this programmatically, not via the LCDSmartie user interface.

Cheers,

You can use the "$Flash(output variable$)$" on your return string. filling the output variable with your data.

You can also program your plugin to do the flashing!
More exciting

I got it to flash using the $Flash function on the output. What do you mean by getting your plugin to do the flashing. How do you do that, and what is the advantage ?

Check out the textwriter plugin...

Its a plugin that returns text (with some fx)...

The only adv is that you can command the flashing time!


This is something build in to the dll

Do any of you guys ever make your souce code available. Since this is an open source project I would have thought it was included in the distribution, but it does seems to be there.

As I mentioned in this post I can send you the source code for one of my plugin's but you didn't replied the coding language!!!!

Are you working on C++, VB, DELPHI, C#

The program is open source and the source code is available in main site!
There are also available demo plugin in most languages...

Nobody can blame developers that they "not giving" their plugin's source code. They are working hours and hours to give for free plug ins in public use. And I think its their decision to distibute or not the source code

I didn't mean to offend! I know that you guys spend a lot of time coding, so do I. But I distribute my source code with my plugin, so I never get asked for it, people have it already.

I'm working in C#.

The demo plugins are fine, but don't really shown what can actually be done in LCDSmartie.
