The shortcut editing window was broken and was
not copying the information across properly to the
new shortcuts when the shortcut was edited. I have
now moved to actually replacing the shortcut when
the form updates it. So basically the ShortcutForm
loads the shortcut info from the ShortcutItem, then
when you save the form, it returns a new ShortcutItem.
The shortcut library then removes the old shortcut
(which removes the icons, and updates the file), then
it saves the new shortcut we just created (which saves
the icons and updates the save file). This was the easiest
way to make the shortcut modification process work.
The ProfileAdapter and ShortcutAdapters used
by the ImageListView Control unfortunately
have to access the sizes of the bitmaps being
loaded into the respective imagelistviews. I
can't find anyway of stopping the GDI+
from complaining about the Bitmap being
accessed by multiple different threads (as
ImageListView creates one thread per image.
This will be fixed once I move to this being a
WPF application as we'll use a different control.
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.
Partially completed bitmap work.
Need to implement generic bitmap
resizing to work with small and large
icons, and for different sizes for overlay
bitmap.
Created ShortcutRepository which handles
the loading/saving and lifecycle management
of shortcuts. There can only be one shortcut
repository at a time, hence it's mainly static
methods.
Also started down the path of troubleshooting
the profileIcon overlays. The ToBitmapOverlay
still isn't working properly, so I need to figure
out how it was working originally, and how I
broke it :). Then I need to unbreak it.
Still having issues with the shortcutAdaptor for the
Imagelistviewitem loading. Even though it's based
on the same code as the profileAdaptor it's not
reading the Shortcut bitmap properly. Too tired to
figure out why at the moment, so will be trying again
tomorrow. I expect its something to do with the
different Bitmap format for the two options. May
need to revise that to compare image data.
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.
Have created the Shortcut class for use within the
ShortcutLibrary. Next step is modifying the
ShortcutForm to generate a Shortcut so that I
can check the loading and saving is working ok.
I won't concentrate on the ShortcutForm redesign
until this bit is tested.
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.
