As I didn't find reliable way which will notify script when computer is resuming from hibernation and which will work on Win XP, Vista, 7 and 8, you'll have to call it manually. I'm calling it by left-up-right mouse gesture. Here's what RM help (not released yet) says about RMApp_Redraw() function;

 

RMApp_Redraw() Redraws all radial menus and docks without reloading whole RM process. Useful if you have "RM isn't visible after resuming from hibernation in Windows 7" problem. It's up to you to decide how you will call this function. Suggestion: put code below in RM\My codes\My mouse gestures.ahk, save changes and reload RM.

MG_LUR() {  ; mouse gesture left-up-right = Redraw
      RMApp_Redraw()
}

The autoupdate link doesn't take me to the update or start the update. It takes me to the change log, which is cool and all, but then I have to manually go to the update page. Maybe it could have separate links for change log and download?

EDIT: also, if I have a newer version than radial menu does, do I just rename the .exe for autohotkey to radial menu and move it over?

hi

i tried to use the Menu Definition method, to make my radial menu (using rmmodule2)

 

it worked fine, but don't know how to make submenus

i tried the

Submenu = submenu in the txt file (i put the text file in subfolder submenus and in same folder too)

it didn't work

 

i made a function to show the submenu like this

 

Submenu(){

SelectedItemNumber2 := RM2_Handler(7, "c", "", "pos") ; shows menu, gets selected item position(number), and than hides menu. Uses "click to select" method.

oMenu2.Execute(SelectedItemNumber2) ; executes item action; 1) runs file or folder or 2) function (fun prefix) or 3) subroutine (sub prefix)

}

 

 

it show the menu but don't execute any function.

 

thanks for your time

[loumizhu]

I had disscusion with some people, including Lexikos, which web page should be opened when you click on "AutoHotkey updates available" button and it turned out that AHK change log is the best choice.

AutoHotkey update doesn't automatically update Radial menu.exe because that's too risky - some AutoHotkey updates break compatibility with scripts written till that moment. Take a look at some AutoHotkey breaking changes examples: example1, example2, etc.
 

Maybe it could have separate links for change log and download?

Good suggestion. I'll think about that.

 

... do I just rename the .exe ...

Yes. Instructions from RM help file:
Radial menu.exe is in renamed AutoHotkey_L Unicode 32-bit. To upgrade to latest version of AutoHotkey; exit RM, delete Radial menu.exe, download latest AutoHotkey, rename it to Radial menu.exe, and put it in RM folder. Note: ANSI build is not allowed, only UNICODE.


@loumizhu
RM2module doesn't have built-in support for submenus. I'm planning to make it available in RM3module, but the plans may change...

I see you are using oMenu2.Execute() - the code from Example 9 AHK_L - Menu definition in RMApp style. Just to inform you I improved that example and the class few days ago. Here's how basic example may look now:

MenuDefinition =
(`
[Item1]
Text= Calc
Icon=
Action= Calc

[General]
CentralText= test
)

RM2_On(A_ScriptDir "\Merlock's device") ; loads skin
oMenu := new RM2Menu(MenuDefinition) ; creates radial menu object
RM2_Off() ; unloads skin
return


F1::oMenu.Show("r") ; shows menu in release to select mode
F2::oMenu.Show("c") ; shows menu in click to select mode


#Include RM2Menu class.ahk ; or put it directly in the script - it's not too long (less than 250 lines)
#Include RM2module.ahk
#Include Gdip.ahk

I'll try to upload it tomorrow... It supports executing functions & subroutines and you can create/edit radial menus directly in Radial menu designer (stand alone package).


 

[Learning one]

It's too early for official RM2module update, but here's what I was talking about in post above:
- improved Example 9 AHK_L - Menu definition in RMApp style.ahk
- RM2module.ahk - v2.1801 (prerelease)
Download here, and update your RM2module lib folder with those 2 new files.
 

[loumizhu]

thanks a lot Learning one

 

you're the man

 

[chromax]

@chromax: I know for Radian and other similar programs. I wasn't satisfied enough with them so I made my own.
Download RM2module and try the following examples:

• Example 4b AHK_L - Docks.ahk
• Example 5 - Toolbar.ahk
• Example 8b AHK_L - Context-sensitive docks.ahk

Do you like those concepts? They can be turned into taskbar.


@Cattleya:

Nobody is allowed to bundle Radial menu v4 with any software package. The only legal way of obtaining Radial menu is visit this topic, and download it from the official link written in the first post. Nobody is allowed to upload Radial menu v4 anywhere else. Please read Radial menu license.

@gemisigo: try it out and post your impressions and suggestions

* * *

Good news - for all of you who have "RM4 is not visible after resuming from hibernation" problem - I have finished Redraw() function, which redraws all radial menus and docks without reloading RM4 process. I'll make it available for testing soon.

Btw, anyone tried RM4 on Windows 8? Does it work fine?

 

Hi,

 

sorry for the long response.

 

To show the concept I simply made an HTML5 animation of my idea (with a little fancy animation)

http://chromax.de/te...anager_concept/

The trigger could be any key + mouse combination. I prefer the "Hold right and click left"-mouse combination.

 

As a graphic designer, I could make a design for it. But my scripting-abilites tend to zero. 

By the way, I think the designs of the examples are too much, clean and simple is better.

[gemisigo]

Maybe it could have separate links for change log and download?

 

Let me second that idea

[Learning one]

Hi, sorry for late reply.

 

@chromax: I like your concept, animation, ideas and your indirect graphic design offer. Thanks. If you think that current skins are too much, tell me have you seen this concepts? This is still work in progress, not ready to be released yet, but I have working prototypes... Some of those "vector skins" really have clean and simple design (I think). As a graphic designer, what do you think about them?

 

@gemisigo: Ok. Btw, you made 1000. post in this topic - congrats

They look good. I would prefer the most simple smaller white one. No gradients or aqua effects. But the most important about that is that it shows the tasks. I did not found a demo that do that.

[Learning one]

Thanks. I really appreciate you opinion as a graphic designer.
Maybe I'll code demo which shows tasks later... I'm too busy with some other things now.

I'm not sure if it's a new typo or if I just noticed it now, but apparently radial menu can use us.

As the author of Radial menu, I'm reserving all my rights, but I'm temporary allowing that Radial menu can use any person that agrees on all terms in this license.
