Hi,
I have written a small FvwmScript consisting of a single ItemDraw
whose text should be changed while changing pages. The text should
be sent externally via a SendToModule call. I have two questions
about it:
1. I use the command 'WindowTitle {FvwmPageName}' in the FvwmScript
and the window is identified as such with FvwmIdent. However,
issuing an
SendToModule FvwmPageName SendString 1 1 aaa
doesn't work. Experimenting around I found out that
SendToModule *fvwmPageName SendString 1 1 aaa
works. Is that expected behaviour?
2. I bound the SendToModule call to a FvwmEvent (new_page). This
works ok, but when I change the page in the pager dragging the
right mouse button (for having parts of several pages on screen),
the FvwmEvent is triggered constantly, so the "scroll effect" is
not smooth as it used to be. Is there a workaround for it? I can
not use '*FvwmEvent: Delay' because when I change pages with the
keyboard I DO want the FvwmEvent to be triggered, even if the
changes are nearly simultanous. I think FvwmPager should
produce only a new_page event when the page with maximum area on
screen changes.
BTW: In the FvwmScript man page in 2.5.12, in the 'PERIODIC TASKS'
section it is stated that the block shouls start with a 'Periodic
Task' keyword. This should be changed to 'PeriodicTasks', shouldn't
it? Perhaps it is already so in the last development version.
Greetings,
David
