Method WindowTriggers.LogEvents

Overload

Starts or stops to log (write in output) window events that can help to create or debug window triggers.

public void LogEvents(bool on, Func<wnd, bool> skip = null)
Parameters
on  (bool)

Start (true) or stop.
skip  (Func<wnd, bool>)

An optional callback function that can be used to reduce noise, eg skip tooltip windows. Return true to skip that window.

Remarks

For primary trigger events is logged this info:

  1. Time milliseconds. Shows only the remainder of dividing by 10 seconds, therefore it starts from 0 again when reached 9999 (9 seconds and 999 milliseconds).
  2. Event (see TWLater).
  3. Letters for window state etc:
    • A - the window is active.
    • H - the window is invisible (!wnd.IsVisible).
    • C - the window is cloaked (wnd.IsCloaked).
    • O - the window is considered old, ie created before calling ActionTriggers.Run.
    • T - the even has been detected using a timer, which means slower response time. Else detected using a hook.
  4. Window (handle, class, name, program, rectangle).

Colors are used for window event types used for primary triggers: blue if activated; green if became visible; yellow if name changed. For "later" events is logged time, event and window. Black, tab-indented. Only events that are specified in triggers. When a trigger is activated, the event type is red.

Examples

Triggers.Window.LogEvents(true, o => 0 != o.ClassNameIs("*tooltip*", "SysShadow", "#32774", "TaskList*"));
