[QUOTE="Big_Kev, post: 193599, member: 52102"] [b]New Version 0.1.2.7[/b] Lots of little changes.... [B]New Features:[/B] [LIST] [*]Tooltips on guide screen: This will show the program description when you hover the mouse over the link. There are 2 methods for this - simple method, just adds a title tag to the link (works best in IE as FireFox shortens the line). Boxover method - this uses the Boxover javascritp from [url]http://boxover.swazz.org/[/url]. There is a basic default script set up in the Manager Program on the HTML page, but have a look at the website for more details on the API. This is represented by 2 new special tags... !!!Boxover!!! in the page header to include the script reference, and !!!ToolTip!!! to insert the appropriate value. [*]Fixed lengths on custom HTML tags - any special tag (like !!!Title!!!) that is used in a HTML template or on the HTML page of the manager, can have a fixed length assigned by immediately following it with a length in characters surrounded by square brackets. For example, limiting the title to 35 characters would be done by !!!Title!!![35]. This will display the first 32 characters of the title, followed by "...". [/LIST] [B]Fixes:[/B] [LIST] [*]Navigation problems with days, groups, timespans. [*]Lengthened fields for translations. [*]Custom HTML for guide page. Does not place <td></td> tag around custom entry - you are responsible for all HTML within the Channel/Time Block cell. For example [CODE]<tr><th width=5%>!!!StartTime!!!</th> <td nowrap> <a !!!ToolTip!!! href=showdetail?ID=!!!ProgID!!!>!!!Title!!![35]</a> </td></tr>[/CODE] will give you the same result the vertical guide now gives by default. [/LIST] [B]Now for something completely different...[/B] As you may have realised, the Web Interface does not use .NET. It is written in Borland C++. This was not a problem until I wanted to interact with the TV cards to inquire status, start/stop recordings etc as some have requested. To get around this, I loaded some of the Microsoft Visual Express components and knocked up my first web service that queries/starts/stops the cards no problem. However... I can't "publish" the web service from the express version AND I would much prefer that it run as an independent windows service than have to run under IIS as an ASP.NET application (much the same as TvScheduler by dvdfreak does). My question is... can anyone help with some more info and/or example code etc on how to do this? Regards Kev [/QUOTE]
