Stopped: New TripComp Plugin development
I've stopped the development of my first plugin, because the idea has been copied and finished before I could do. Any motivation to finish this plugin is gone now. Obvisiously I've been to slow. Next time I'm better not going to announce anything before it is finished. If there will be a next time...
I'm working on my first CF Plugin. Please be patient, because I'm quite new to C#.net programming (I've got some experience with VB.Net and PHP). This is the first shot for the new plugin. Any suggestions are welcome.

Nice little plugin.
You could add support for LogoDashboard, so all the information can be displayed on the main screen as well.

Need Help with updating data labels
Hi Zorro,
I'm already struggling with my project. I can't get the data labels updated, using the timer (1000ms Interval). Do you have any hint for me how to update the data labels from the start of the plugin automatically?
Cheers

PS:I've used VD2 to create this plugin. Great work Zorro!!!

What code do you use in your timer event?
To set labels at startup, you have to use the CF_updateText(label, text) method in CF_localskinsetup.

Thanks Zorro! I've got it running now.
For filling the Labels with data at startup, I've just put the following Code into the CF_pluginShow() section:
Code:
...
this.CF_updateText("ZPANEL_LBLSATFIX", CF_getGPSInfo(CF_GPSInfo.LOCKEDSATELLITES));
this.CF_updateText("ZPANEL_LBLALTITUDE", CF_getGPSInfo(CF_GPSInfo.ALTITUDE));
this.CF_updateText("ZPANEL_LBLSPEED", CF_getGPSInfo(CF_GPSInfo.SPEED));
this.CF_updateText("ZPANEL_LBLTIME", DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString());
this.CF_updateText("ZPANEL_LBLDIRECTION", CF_getGPSInfo(CF_GPSInfo.DIRECTION));
...
Then I've placed the Code for the Timer into the CF_localskinsetup() section:
Code:
...
this.m_buttonTimer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
this.m_buttonTimer.Enabled = true;
this.m_buttonTimer.Interval = 1000;
this.m_buttonTimer.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.m_buttonTimer_Tick);
...
It's nicely updating the values every second now.
Live can be that easy! 
Cheers
