Aqua-Soft ForumsWould it be possible to somehow make showcase be activated by putting the mouse cursor in a configurable corner of the screen?
I find hotkeys a little clumsy sometimes.
[request] hot spot activation for showcase
That would be a welcome feature. There should also be a way to exit the showcase using the mouse only.
ShowCase can be accesed thru the scripting interface:
Save the following in ActivateShowCase.vbs:
Dim aveDesk 'as AveDesk.Application
set aveDesk = CreateObject("AveDesk.Application")
aveDesk.ShowCase.Activate()
set aveDesk = nothing
Now double-click the ActivateShowCase.vbs file.. and see the magic 
To deactivate use
Dim aveDesk 'as AveDesk.Application
set aveDesk = CreateObject("AveDesk.Application")
aveDesk.ShowCase.DeActivate()
set aveDesk = nothing
(I see herd is in this thread to, so you would likely to get the same sort of reply from him, but with prettier words and longer sentence 
)
Would it be hard to make Showcase....almost instant?
The amount of seconds it takes for showcase to activate makes me change my mind on ever pressing the hotkey.

DIsable the animation.
scripting eh?.... ill have a look at it soon as i catch up with my studies and have a little free time... prolly not for a week or so tho, so if anyone else wants to give it a go, feel free!
Ooh, didn't realize the scripting was already in place. Is there an updated CHM help file with the new scripting?

now, if only there were a hot-corners app that can launch arbitrary code.
Is there one about?
what is the script function to activate showcase on all icons?
mmmmh I know is not the right use for an effectlet, but here is it:
2-minutes-coding-time Showcase Activation Effectlet
might put a few more options tomorrow. If your desklet has a lot of transparent parts it will be uncomfortable :slant: I think the effectlet needs a "sensibility" parameter, and maybe a timeout...
A real package with the real version
thanks dreadnaut, that effectlet is working perfectly for me.
this is pretty useful, but once again, does anyone know the script function to activate showcase on all icons, rather than the ones set just as showcase?

then instead of
ShowCase.Activate()
you need to call
ShowCase.ActivateOnAllDesklets()
excellent thank you
