Open a program, and it goes to screen (#)

[hydrolisk1792]

Is there a string of "if and than" code that I can type into Smartie to make it to where, for instance, I open Winamp, and the screen goes to the winamp screen? Like IF winamp.exe is open, = 1 THAN go to screen 1. Thanks ahead of time.

There's a process lister/checker plugin that you can use to test if a particular program is running. See http://forums.lcdsmartie.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=558 I have a feeling there's another similar plugin mentioned somewhere - try a search...

For Winamp specifically, you can use $WinampStat in a screen/action to get/test the status of Winamp (but it doesn't tell you if Winamp is open or not). This will return "playing", "paused" or "stopped". I use it to switch between system and winamp screens depending on whether Winamp is playing or not:

Code: Select all

IF $WinampStat = playing THEN GotoTheme(3)
IF $WinampStat <> playing THEN GotoTheme(1)

Theme 3 has my Winamp screens and theme 1 has system screens.
