Okay, new at this and already addicted :)
I'm determined into making a Theme I downloaded more personalized by editing the Step.rc where ever I can :)
Anyway, I thought I could really use a calculator that would appear on my desktop, smth just like the windows one.. scientific
Is there some module I could load and setup that already exists? I assume building one from scratch will be a pain for a n00b...
OR, is there a simpler way, just to find a regular .exe and somehow launch it in Step.RC ?
Thanks for the help guys
Hmm, lsxcommand can do calculations but that's not what you want... I don't think such a module exists, sorry :\
What does Windows' calculator not do that you want?
maybe you could use the !CommandSetText to somehow get lsxcommand to use shortcuts to put text in the command box. That or use something to change the KB focus and then emulate keypresses from a shortcut. no matter how you do it, i think that lsxcommand will be some part of the answer.
Smurth: yes, but that's not necessarily a problem. If that's what BarakudA's problem with it is, there are skinnable calculators out there, although I couldn't recommend any specifically 'cuz I don't use 'em.
0rpheus: You could use labels and mzScript or the core's ability to do math. Getting keyboard input would be the tricky part, and that gives me an idea...
Okay, I have no problem using Win calc, but I want it somehow to show on startup (no problem), but I want it to be sticky to the desktop on behind, just like the shortcut tools and Wharf
I'm doing all my maths with lsxcommand
I think that some "calculator" script will hardly handle floatings.
Yeah, I would be surprised if a calculator program supported that. My advice would be to settle for something a little less, like having an easily accessible shortcut or hotkey to start the calc.
I believe you could make a simple calculator with a skinbox, a label, and a really complicated script. A scientific calculator though, that would be extremely difficult.
It also might be possible to trick a regular calc app into sticking to the desktop, but you'd need a custom module or something.
Smurth, have you got any good scripts to be used in lsx-calculations?
TucknDar: I really don't know what kind of script I could use in lsx-calculation. I don't know what it could mean...
RabidCow: Yes, a really complicated script if you want to deal with something else than integers. Should be easier to do in ASM...
heh, me too... I just thought you might have something up your sleeve, as per usual ;)
If you have a great idea, I could think about it...
but, currently, I already have too much to think about
nah, no ideas, just haven't really played with the calculator stuff in lsxcommand, so I was just wondering whether there were any useful scripts available.
not that I actually use calculators much at all, though. Use
AllerCalc for the few math-ops I need.
well guys, I'm intented to stick that calculator on my desktop and lock it just like I do with sysmetrix or anything else...
I'll let you know once I've succeded :)
