My Contacts Plugin (1 Viewer)

[TimmyT]

Hi cubii
Indeed I am looking into a possibility to use VoIP, but I'm far away from a test version. But I'll let you know when I'm ready - I'll be happy if you could be my beta tester. Unfortunately I am pretty busy right now (school, work) so I don't have much time to keep working on this feature...

Cheers,
TimmyT

question

Hi TimmyT,

i saw in your Contact plugIn the way you pose your images,
i have a problem in my plugIn i like to have many images that are numerated somthing like the filmstrip but i d ont know the way, i try with a spincontrol but i dont think its right
How kann i set many images that are numerated like a filmstrip?
Have you any idea or an exempel
to make a image with the image.SetFileName("totalEnergy" + fileCounter.ToString() + ".png");

    <control>
      <animation effect="fade" time="300">WindowOpen</animation>
      <description>parameter</description>
      <type>label</type>
      <id>37</id>
      <posX>310</posX>
      <posY>215</posY>
      <label></label>
      <font>font12</font>
      <align>left</align>
      <textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
    </control>
    <!-- Graph oben mitte -->
    <control>
      <animation effect="fade" time="300">WindowOpen</animation>
      <description>Grafik</description>
      <type>image</type>
      <id>0112</id>
      <posX>275</posX>
      <posY>175</posY>
      <width>350</width>
      <height>300</height>
    </control>

and my filmstrip:

<control>  <description>Filmstrip view</description> 
 <type>filmstrip</type>  
<id>50</id>  
<onleft>10</onleft>  
<onright>2</onright>  
<onup>2</onup> 
 <ondown>2</ondown>  
<background>context_background.png</background>  
<backgroundx>275</backgroundx>  
<backgroundy>175</backgroundy>  
<backgroundwidth>420</backgroundwidth>  
<backgroundheight>350</backgroundheight>  
<backgrounddiffuse>60ffffff</backgrounddiffuse>  </control>

thank you

Hi Zarra,

I'm using a "thumbnailpanel" to display the pictures... I'm not sure if that fits your problem, but it's the only way I know yet. Check out my sources ("MyContacts.xml" and class "MyContacts.cs") to see the code (link in first post).

Cheers,
TimmyT

Hi TimmyT,

thank you for your answer, yes i try with your plugIn and i use the Thumbnail Panel, but i became many small images in the same screen, have you any idea how can i control the size to have just one big in the screen



item.ThumbnailImage = "totalEnergy" + fileCounter.ToString() + ".png";

thumbnailView.Add(item);
thumbnailView.Add(item);

   <control>
      <type>group</type>
      <description>group element</description>
      <animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowOpen</animation>
      <animation effect="fade" time="500">WindowClose</animation>
      <control>
        <description>listcontrol</description>
        <type>listcontrol</type>
        <id>1222</id>
        <onleft>51</onleft>
        <onright>51</onright>
        <onup>51</onup>
        <ondown>51</ondown>
      </control>

      <control>

Format

What format is the data in this plugin stored in. i have made a cell phone caller id plugin but i'm not too sure yet as to what method would be best for getting the callers name. i've looked at making my own type of phone book but when looking for code of something quite similar i've seen that there are quite a lot of apps that use this type of infomation and thought it may be better to have one centralised contacts database or vCard folder that all plugins can use.

hi boozelclark

the data are stored in a database. check out the code in the svn directory (link posted a couple of entries earlier) for more information (db fields etc.)

cheers,

it seems that my contacts plugin is not compatible with version 1.0.0.0 (yet). unfortunately, I don't have the time to look at the problem this week... I hope I can fix this soon.
