Switch to a certain screen when a program is launched

Post by 5teviewonders »

Hi. Is there any way to automatically switch to a certain screen when a particular program is launched and then switch back to the original screen when that program is closed? I know there's a setting for winamp but i use a different media player with a plugin. Cheers!!

There are a couple of ways to determine if a process if active using active.dll, processes.dll or mce_dll fn 20.

You can use one of these in actions to go to a specific screen or theme depending on whether the process is running ot not.


you can find active.dll here: http://www.eserver.gr/limboonline/plugins.html
you can find mce_dll at: http://mcedll.codeplex.com/

there's an example at: http://mcedll.codeplex.com/discussions/263687

you will find other examples in the forums if you search for them.
