Garmin Mobile PC GMPC - CF3 / CF2 Plugin - Rebellium 3 OSK & Skin w/ Voice Prompts - Page 7

I have done that but i just cannot figure out how to use this application. There are several issues that i am facing.
1. GMPC launches just fine with this application. However if i enter the home button, i am taken to home of centrafuse. Now if i again try to enter gmpc, nothing happens.
2. When i go to address search and try to use provided osk, nothing happens i.e. i press buttons and nothing happens.

Not sure if anyone else could help you. Tempgp should be the best person to help u but he might be busy as he has not replied to the thread for sometime. Hope the development is still alive.

Was v1.3.0.0 a fresh install or was an older version installed previously before that? Perhaps u should uninstall CF Garmin Integrator and reinstall the latest version regardless. Only edit the path in config.ini to your Que.exe after the install. My Garmin is not installed in the default location too but it worked after editing the path. Also perhaps you might want to post screenshots of the CFGI setup page in CF just so we are sure it is setup correctly. Not sure anyone else had dotnet 3.5 installed separately like you did and ran into problem like yours. If there is, perhaps the installation routine did not account for that and something went wrong. Can u duplicate the same problem on other system using the same separate download? Mine was done with the CFGI installer and it took pretty long to complete both on the carpc and test system but it work on both system.

Did you specify the windows name in the CFGI setup page in CF? If you did, don't as there is no need for that.

2. When i go to address search and try to use provided osk, nothing happens i.e. i press buttons and nothing happens.

Perhaps for some reason, the focus on the input field was lost. Does it work if u tap on the input field and press the osk keys? Doing so regain the focus.

This is great work to put this plugin together. I've installed and started to use it and have these initial observations/suggestions.....

1. The 1024X600 support would be important for me as I run this on an EeePC widescreen. Currently the "home" and "keyboard" icon in the lower right falls on top of my "next track" arrow in CF.

2. The other option I think would be useful is a configurable setting to disable the OSK icon for those of us who have keyboards. I'm not sure if this is something that would be doable in the code or not.

3. I wasn't sure from the previous posts if you said you were going to build something to intersect the voice prompts to mute the volume in CF before playing the GMPC voice prompts or not. That would obviously be extremely nice if possible. I thought I read in another thread on this topic that GMPC wasn't built to be very plugin friendly and that messing with the volume of the voice prompts is not a trivial task.

Anyway, I'll reset my resolution to 800X600 and play around with it some more. One of the things I thought was cool - but by accident only - was that if I run CF in my normal mode of 1024X600 and run your plugin for GMPC which is in 800X600 I can see the Album Art from the playlist screen on the right hand side of the screen from CF while I'm looking at the GMPC navigation to the left.

Eventually, it would be neat if both the position and the size of the plugin could be configured so that even though it is actually running on top of CF, it would appear to be embedded in CF.

Anyway, awesome plugin. Thanks alot for creating it!!!

Im having a bit of a problem with getting this going also,anybody know what the window name in the external app settings should be,also would it be a reasonably easy job to change the buttons to match onyx skins.
Thanks for the effort put into this.

OMG this forum didnt send me notifications of new replyies and now i got 3 or 4 poages to read aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

and i really hate reading things

ok few things on bugs:

1) The thingie that pressses ESC key to hide legal warning also hides map when you alredy runing GMPC... I will need to add more logic on that to avoid that annoying thingie

2) I just installed my app on 500Hmz PC and F*** thingie freaaes when I run CF + GMPC + Integrator

so I will do delay startup option so that I can run on my slow mobo too

every other bugs i havve to read firts

tempgp, glad to know the development is still alive!

Pls consider my suggestion on the support of user specifiable osk.

tempgp · May 9th, 2009, 05:32 PM

Carz, I looked at post history and I cant find post about what you mentioned as "user spesifieable OSK"

What I can do if to add function that will bering Zero Waight Keyboard up insted of my keyboard...

For now im craking my head how to trace the GMPC soundoutput to detect if Garmin tells us navigation directions. I found thta GMPC sends WaveOutOpen call to WinAPI, but i cant figure out any way how to hook that call. There is anly one function that can do tha and its in C++

Also, I will add SPACE today and post new version with few updates.
