Database Develop

[C#/VB] System.Windows.Forms extensions for updating properties from other threads.

As developers, we all hate how our code looks like when using multi-threading, and usually, it's a real pain managing all the invoke methods. Even using anonymous methods, it never seemed to be the best way for me.
So, I decided creating a library, that manages everything for you. It checks if InvokeRequired, and if it is, it invokes itself automatically without writing a line of code.
I know, you'll say, we can write a method like this one for ourselves whenever we need it. Just carry on reading to see what's special in this one.
I've written it dynamically, taking in consideration the performance of the code. And it turned out pretty great, as fast as if you had written your own methods, but with cleaner coding.
The library adds an extension called SetProperty() to each control in System.Windows.Forms namespace.
Let's say we have a TextBox called txt, and we want to edit the property txt.Text in it to "Hello!", a normal invoke method would look like this:
Code:
private void UpdateText(){
if(txt.InvokeRequired){
txt.Invoke(delegate{UpdateText();});
}else{
txt.Text = "Hello!";
}
}
Referencing my library, you'll only need to write this:
Code:
txt.SetProperty(TextBoxProperties.Text, "Hello!");
Sounds pretty easy, doesn't it?
This works, for every single control out there. Even if you created a custom one, it will work for you.
A list of the properties of each control is shown as an enumeration with all the details you may need to know in its summary:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A screenshot showing how the code looks like:
This will definitely avoid any issues you may have with cross thread exceptions, and even represent your code in a real neat way.
You can download it from here.
Please keep both DLL and XML files in the same directory after extracting.
Everything's set, you just have to Add reference to the library to your application, and enjoy!
Just use anyControl.SetProperty() method on the go.
I'll release a documentation later, but any feedback for the moment would be appreciated!
Thank you
Best regards,

Go to vars overlap in Tasker.
%Nextalarmtime is set?

No, it is empty.
No time set.
run task "next alarm -1", then check Variable.

[Guide][Difficulty: Advanced] Create an IRS-Compliant Mileage Tracker

It's week two of my Tasker Pro series, so here's a new Tasker script for you guys to use. This script will show you how to create a mileage tracker/driving log that can save your butt during a tax audit if you claim mileage on your taxes!
http://www.xda-developers.com/tasker-pro-create-an-irs-compliant-mileage-tracker-and-get-money-back/
Please leave comments/feedback and any questions here.

Thanks for the amazing script! Only issue I'm having is that none of the data is being written to my google spreadsheet. When I use the test functionality in the tasker spreadsheet plugin, it writes the variable names in the rows. Any advice?

The spreadsheet plugin does not populate the variables when you click test that's why nothing happens then

Now i am receiving this error on the exit task:

Can you manually enter coordinates as variables and check to see if the plugin itself works? Maybe it's failing to get a location for you and that's why the plugin isn't working

Sorry for bringing this thread back, but now I'm encountering another issue. For some reason, Travel Time isn't displaying properly for me. Attaching screenshot for reference.

Is it possible to set a task to run between more than one time range?

I think that I know a way to accomplish what I am looking to do but it would require several profiles and several tasks. I'm new at this so I'm still working on wrapping my head around how tasker thinks and what it takes to get from point A to point B. I'm not looking for a step by step how to but more 1) to know if what I am trying to do is even possible 2) some pointers to get me pointed in the right direction if it is.
What I'm trying to accomplish, is a work profile that connects to wifi (that is the easy part) but then between the hours of say, 6 and 8, turn the volume down, turn the volume back up at break, turn the volume back down after break until 11am for lunch, turn it back up at lunch, and then back down for the remainder of the work day. What I am hoping, is that there is a way to create a task that allows me to turn the volume down if the time is between x and x or x and x or x and x.

Create two tasks. Task1 will put your phone on vibrate. Task2 will take phone off vibrate.
Create profiles for the time you want on vibrate calling for task1. On the profile you created, long-press the task and select an exit task. This will be task2.
Do this for all times you want using the same tasks.
Here is an example of how it should look...

}

Thanks! That was exactly what I had done. I was just wondering if inside of the tasks themselves, you could set up time frames to do the specific tasks.. Its probably not an intelligent way to think or go about it.. I was just curious.

Well as long as it is all set to specific lengths of time, you could use task/wait and have the task actually running all day. But I don't know what that would do to battery life...

Can't you do it by time and have conditions? For example
IF %TIME > 07.59 And %TIME < 09.00
ELSE %TIME > 08.59 And %TIME < 10.00
ELSE %TIME > 09.59 And %TIME < 11.00
End if
Also just to mention the time stated in that variable seems to be 24hr format, regardless of system settings.

Help with Tasker automation to open Garage Door

Having recently gotten a Tesla Model3 I am keen to automate opening and closing the garage as I arrive and leave home.....
I have not found a way to (either voice or screen) initiate my garage opener app or Google Home routine from the Tesla.
My other option is to use my phone, but that involves fumbling for the phone, unlocking it, and either triggering the app or triggering a Google Home voice command to run a routing to trigger the app and open the garage door (which unfortunately also requires a PIN when doing through Google Home).
So I have decided to use an NFC tag trigger to Tasker to then automate opening the garage door app and opening the door. I have installed and gotten working the Trigger app, and have set up an NFC tag to trigger a task in Tasker. The NFC read seems to be working fine.
But my Tasker Task does not seem to be working. I have "played" it purely in Tasker (to isolate it from Trigger and NFC tag, and playing it doesn't result in the garage door opening.
I created the Task using AutoInput action - for which I opening the app (Remootio) and clicked on the lock/unlock toggle button. The task config is below, as well as the log from the action being run.

Does the firmware of the application match the firmware of the device?

First of all, you should contact the developers of the application. They should advise you what to do in this situation because they know the software they have developed best. Secondly, you can try to contact Google for help. Perhaps they already have some developed techniques for managing gates without a phone. In my opinion, it is best to install automatic gates that open from the remote control. This eliminates the possibility of hacking. I ordered my gate from https://everlastgates.com/. This is a reliable company that does its job well. You can still see if it is possible to install a voice sensor.
