This script shows volume indicators as volume is increased/decreased using Winkey+Up / Winkey+Down or multimedia keys (the keys can be changed)



Script Updated:
Now you can change Master Volume AND Wave Volume, both showing OSD.
Also, hotkeys section is moved to top of script to allow easy customisation to newbies.

I tried it... it's very slick, nice work. I might wind up using a variant of this.

[Rajat]

if that variancy is not for some personal reqmt, then do post it! as i use this script regularly, any improvement is welcome!

[beardboy]

I use the right and left keys to do things as well.

#LEFT:: ; Windows Key + LEFT
SoundSet, 1 ; Set volume to 1%
SoundSet, 100, wave ; Set Wave volume to 100%
return

#RIGHT:: ; Windows Key + RIGHT
SoundSet, +1, , mute ; Toggles Mute on and off
SoundSet, 100, wave ; Set Wave volume to 100%
return

I hate how some media players, msn voice chat, etc... change the Wave volume instead of the master volume. So I like to keep it at 100%.

thanks,

The script above has been changed to use ToolTip (v1.0.9+) instead of SplashText. This looks better.

Also the script has been optimized so that the timer doesn't keep running.... its run only for about 2 seconds when the hotkey is pressed, then again turned off.

Chris, do give it a try... the new command looks nice. This is the general purpose use i've put the command to, other than the more serious uses that now this command will be used for.

[beardboy]

Chris and Rajat,

Already added ToolTip to a script I have, great addition.

thanks,

I tried it and it looks good. It seems that ToolTip has more general purpose uses than TrayTip. In addition, TrayTip (since it uses balloon help) only works on Win2k and XP I think.

Balloon Popups like MSN Messenger? Is that a new feature that is on the list?

[Rajat]

actually i'd asked for balloon tips (traytips) too, but tooltips has turned out better than my expectations... the most important is that it has no amount of text limitations. and Chris has enabled multi-line support.

[Chris]

AutoIt3 uses "balloon help" (or whatever the official name for it is) to do a TrayTip. I don't know if you can have these balloon windows elsewhere on the screen. In any case, TrayTip should be in the next release even though it only works on XP/2000.

[Rajat]

TrayTip should be in the next release

... that's great! ... it always positions itself above tray notification area, so absolute placement is no problem... also it has a title & a close button (if title added).

[beardboy]

also it has a title & a close button (if title added).

Hopefully it will have a timeout Option to auto close the notification, and Label option that if the user clicked on the message it would GoSub to the label.

Great stuff. If it's readily doable I'll try to include it.

[Chris]

I think this is achievable, but according to MSDN it would only work on Windows XP. Is it still something you would use? It'll stay on the list in any event, since I'm sure someone would find it useful.

When you guys mentioned Balloon Help, for some reason I got it stuck in my head that it was like msn messenger popups :oops: . TrayTip is a very nice addition, and with things only working on 2000/XP I'll take it either way, even though 99% of the PC I remotely manage are still on NT. I'll still use it where I can.
