CFInjector - Tool for Plugin Developers

If CFInjector don't have such api, maybe you can point me to some winapi way ? And the second question, how can I change already injected label text in runtime ? call InjectText again for exsting label id and then call DrawInjectedControls ? Or am I missing something ?

As of yet, there's no regular way to click them as CFinjector doesn't create labels, it rather draws directly into the Main screen.
You could evaluate clicks if you create a Mouse Hook, such as CF does for the gesture recognition. Have a look into the GlobalHook class of the cfplugin interface.
But rather than setting up a hook, I'd use a timer to display the different values. Most likley, you already have one to read out the measured values.
To change the value of a injected text or image simply call InjectText or InjectImage once again.
DrawInjectedControls will traverse through all controls assigned and redraw the current values/images. This method is supposed to be used from a timer routine.
If you use a timer, you have to be careful with the timeout value you use. I don't recommend any values below 2 seconds because it might slow down CF with all the redrawing (assuming you have more than one text/image). Eventually, the timer is used only to update the injections in case CF redraws the main screen for some reason.

Hi Zorro!
Do you know why I am getting this Issue using CF_Injection(see the attachment)? It seems to me that's a problem with transparent background.
Btw when I sent 120% large fonts - I don't have this issue.

The only thing I'm aware of is that this happens if your skin is not rendered with 96 DPI. You may check that.

Thanks. That's really was the reason (sorry for delay with answer). Problem is fixed

Hello,

sorry, this is my second post and i have a problem with CFInjector and with english...

CFInjetor works fine for me only at a Resolution of 848x480, and on all other Resolutions the Label is on THE SAME postion on the screen.

Some Screen shots:

At 848x480 the Icon is displayed correct:


At 1024x768 the icon is on the same place because of the bigger resolution the icon is over the song title..

[Zorro]

This may happen because CFInjector doesn't support stretched skins. What you need is a native 1024x768 skin containing the CFInjector definitions.

I may look into this and change it, as I find some time.

Updated. See first post for details.

there is any difference between this plugin and logodashboard like I'm using in the header?

Thanks
