Itunes Control App

[Shadow]

hey i just wrote my very first program in visual basic
it loads paintball if its not already running and runs in the background so u can control itunes through paintnall
 i think u could have coded it much better but as said its the first thing i ever made in vb im happy it works . currently it looks like this ,





and my question is if the setenv command sets an environment variable and if that works , cause for me it seems thats not so would make the things much easier

It works.

Code: [Select]

]setenv variable test
]setenv variable
variable=test

The code uses putenv and getenv to do this.

is this pb internally ?
or could i acces them with vb ?
thx for the quick reply


k its a lil bit strange ...

If i set an environment variable in vb pball doesnt recognize it .

and if i set a e.v. in pball vb doesnt get it .

If i add an registry key to HKLM\System\Control\Session Manager\Environment ...
pball displays it but when i change it with pball nothing happens to the value of the key.

Just did some more research - I don't think that this code works the way it is intended on windows, and platform specific code would have to be added for it to work.

Is this running from the game to iTunes or is it like having iTunes open with music while playing the game but just having the controls ingame? How much of a lag does it have I.E. does this slow you computer down? Is the control panel always visible or only when you are in the ingame menu?

its like having itunes open with musik and having the controls ingame
for me it doesnt lag at all
its only in the ingame menu visible

for some people it will lag, because having too many things running will slow your PC/mac down.
