This code makes the display profile change work. There
are a few things broken still.... namely the showing of a
timer when the profile is being applied, the accuracy of
the display detection code, and the correct logic for
determining a profile can be used.
There are different displayIdentifiers created if the video card
is an NVidia card, or if it is anything else. These identifiers
are saved in the display profiles, and that allows us to compare
the display identifiers we currently have with the ones in various
profiles, and then work out which profiles are valid.
This code committed today ensures that the nvidia device
identifier will always use the NVAPIWrapper lib (whether in
surround mode or not) so that the application allows both
surround mode profiles and non-surround mode profiles
to be selected if the same displays are present.
For all other display adapters it just uses the
WindowsDisplayAPI to create a different displayIdentifier
which isn't as smart. It means that if you have an AMD and
use EyeInfinity, then this isn't clever enough to understand
the profiles use the same matching screens. I will have to
fix this eventually when i build in native AMD support in
the future.
DisplayIdentifiers are the minimum GPU/Display
that will allow us to identify whether a profile
will actually work. We look for the same DisplayIdentifiers
or a subset of them to determine whether a profile
will be valid to show. This is different from the data
stored under DisplayTarget, as that is used for detailed
compatibility....
Profile selection logic was running functions multiple
times which was resulting in a lot of extra delay
while using the DisplayProfileFOrm. These changes
streamline it and make it work a lot faster!
Moved the shortcut running logic from the
main Program into the ShortcutRepository
so that it can be used from the
Shortcut Library UI as well as from the
commandline.
It's marked as WIP because I also moved
the ApplyingChangesForm and accompanying
ApplyTopos/ApplyProfiles logic and I broke
it. It needs refactoring and hopefully
simplifying but I need to work on that next!
Updated the 'Save To Desktop' button in the
ShortcutLibraryForm to use the CreateShortcut
function in the ShortcutItem, and fixed that so
it now uses the IWshRuntimeLibrary to create
a Windows Script Host that will create the
shortcut.
Did a fix for the SHortcutAdaptor doing exceptions
for showing the form before loading all the graphics
but can't really do much about it without adding
background loading to the main form. This is a lot of
work considering we'll be moving from WinForms
to WPF UI in the future.
Also fixed the 'Do you want to save' prompt detection
logic so that it correctly waits until all the loading has
finished before monitoring for users making changes.
Should stop the form incorrectly suggesting you
should save unless they've really made a change.
If a shortcut has Autoname turned on, and if the user
changes the name of the profile, then the shortcut will
be renamed to keep pace with the new profile name.
If autoname is NOT turned on, then the shortcut name
will be kept as is, and the user will need to make any
changes. Please note that HeliosPlus will not make
any changes to any desktop shortcuts saved to the PC.
It will only change the name of the shortcut in the
shortcut library within the App.
Moving to using a ProfileRespository will make it
easier when moving to a WPF style app, and it will
allow some freedom if I want to change the storage
to a database or soemthing different.
Partially completed bitmap work.
Need to implement generic bitmap
resizing to work with small and large
icons, and for different sizes for overlay
bitmap.
The logic I chose for the ShortcutForm controls is
really not suited towards distributed logic. I am
going to have to centralise the logic into a single
function that will evaulate when to enable the
save button.
Created the initial form for the shortcut library
and will now start working on getting the
shortcuts saving to a similar json format as
the display profiles.
Manged to get the ImageListView working directly
from the Bitmap stored in the Profile. This makes
the refresh of the ILV much faster, and makes it way
easier to use it in other UI forms.
