Yeah, it does it slowly. I was trying to use it, but for some reason since I set up xpadder, it was kicking in while I was playing an SNES game on BSNES. Not sure what happened there :/

I understand f you won't update this again djvj, but I noticed that when playing my "causul games" Wheel where I have my controller mapped to Control the mouse. The app doesn't register keypresses. In other Words when only using mouse ingame, the volume goes down even when playing. Cool app though.

Dime, the app recognizes mouse input and considers you not idle anymore just fine. Did you test using an actual mouse and get the same behavior?

If it's some issue with not recognizing a simulated mouse because of how windows sees it, I have an idea which should fix that.

I'll have a look and let you know.

Not with a 'real' mouse. It happens with my U-Trak. :( Simulated mouse. I'll plug in a real mouse and let you know.

Also, running Win7-64.

Confirmed. With my USB mouse, the volume still changes.

Thanks,

I can't Believe this isn't working for me. This is exactly what I need fo my cab. I'm constantly adjusting the volume to keep the noise down in the house. None of the mouse buttons or moving the mouse triggers it, only keypresses. Is there any chance you could look into this, djvj?

Love this app! I only have one issue with it though. I'm using it in combination with EDS (Event Dispatcher System) to send it "pause" and "resume" parameter commands when starting and exiting a game. Whenever I start or exit, a tiny rectangular box momentarily appears in the upper left corner with "wParam: 1" and "wParam: 0" accordingly. It's the same type of info box that appears when you hover the mouse cursor over something. This looks kind of ugly and I'd much rather have it completely hidden. Is there a way to do this?

Matt, I thought there was a tooltips setting you can turn off?

Newoski, it should work fine.

Ninja, yes that would be possible, you would have to disable it before starting the movie, the re-enable after.

Djvj,

Great idea. So in User Functions, I could do a If systemName is PopCap...

ActiveWindowsLogger.exe pause

And at close:

ActiveWindowsLogger.exe resume

If I knew the path and such??

Thanks,

Ron

Tooltips are indeed turned off, set as "false" in the configuration file. Yet those small boxes show up for a moment whenever it is paused or resumed by EDS.

One other thing I've just noticed is that I cannot adjust the system volume while it is paused. I have buttons set to turn the volume up and down, but the volume just fades back to the same level when I release the volume up or down button. It seems as if the app is forcing the same volume level when it is paused.

If these two issues could be fixed I would be one happy person. :)

Amazing, wait how does this work? Why would u need the pause for popcap? How exactly would u do this? I'm thinking xbmc would be the only thing truly idle on purpose right? How can I set this up for xbmc? Sorry, ur code sounds good but is French to me

This app doesn't work for me when using a mouse. The voulume goes down even when playing. So this workaround would be great for me.
