Plugin Newbie Question ..

[pt-1]

Hi,
I tried to follow Jasons GBPvr Plug-in PDF Tutorial abut I already struggle at the beginning...

I downloaded Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express edition

I added the following Code

Code:

using System;
using GBPVR.Public;

namespace FritzBoxPlugin
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Description for FritzBoxPlugin.
    /// </summary>
    public class FritzBoxPlugin : IMenuTask
    {

        #region IMenuTask Members

        public void Activate()
        {
            throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
        }

        public void Deactivate()
        {
            throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
        }

        public System.Windows.Forms.Form GetConfigFormInstance(System.Xml.XmlDocument document)
        {
            throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
        }

        public void OnClick(System.Drawing.Point location)
        {
            throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
        }

        public void OnDoubleClick(System.Drawing.Point location)
        {
            throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
        }

        public bool OnKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
        }

        public void OnMouseWheel(System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
        }

        public string getDescription()
        {
            return " This is the Fritz!BoxPlugin";
        }

        public string getName()
        {
            return "Fritz!Box Plugin";
        }

        public string getSkinSubdirectory()
        {
            return "FritzBoxPlugin";
        }

        public System.Drawing.Image getTaskImage()
        {
            throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
        }

        public bool needsRendering()
        {
            throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
        }

        public System.Drawing.Image render(out bool requiresMoreRendering)
        {
            throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
        }

        #endregion
    }
}

just to get the very first steps but I get attached JPG error message ...

Anyone or is it a hopeless start for me ;-)

This is exactly what your program is telling it to do.
You need to override those methods, otherwise they are just throwing exceptions.

[Jeff]

Your GetConfigFormInstance method needs some code. You can return null if you don't have a configuration form for your plug-in.

Code:

/// <summary>
        /// This method is gets a form that can be used to config the plugin.
        /// </summary>        
        /// <param name="document"></param>
        /// <returns>Configuration Form, or null if there are no user configurable settings.</returns>
        public Form GetConfigFormInstance(XmlDocument document)
        {
            return null;
        }

The code shows he has a GetConfigFormInstance method, it is just throwing an exception.

public System.Windows.Forms.Form GetConfigFormInstance(System.Xml.XmlDocument document)
{
throw new Exception("The method or operation is not implemented.");
}

Visual Studio 2005 generates stub code for all the required methods for the class, similar to that shown above. You need to replace these stubs with something that doesn't throw an exception. In this case, "return null" is perfectly fine.

I will give it another try tomorrow ;-)

What I basically tyr to archive is a Plugin simular to the UKCinema Plugin.

It's supposed to be for a Telephone switch/Router/Gateway called Fritz!Fon

What you can do is retrieve a caller list for missed/made and incoming calls

The Linux Commands from a simular apllication are:

Code:

wget -q -O /dev/null "http://fritz.box/cgi-bin/webcm?getpage=../html/de/menus/menu2.html&var:lang=de&var:menu=fon&var:pagename=foncalls"

to refresh the list and then

Code:

wget -q -O - "http://fritz.box/cgi-bin/webcm?getpage=../html/de/FRITZ!Box_Anrufliste.csv"

That generates a list like this:

Code:

Typ;Datum;Rufnummer;Nebenstelle;Eigene Rufnummer;Dauer
1;25.09.06 20:51;008452574457;FON 1;Festnetz;0:01

where

1 is incoming
2 is missed
3 is outgoing

For example if you just wanted the missed ones:

Code:

wget -q -O - "http://fritz.box/cgi-bin/webcm?getpage=../html/de/menus/menu2.html&var:lang=de&var:menu=fon&var:pagename=foncalls" | grep "ll(\"2" | cut -d '"' -f 6,8,10 > /tmp/anruf2.txt

I have asked here for another feature that an incoming call is displayed in an Infobox.

This feature could also be used for other things...

I will have a dig at above tomorrow but if any C Crack is bored you are more than welcome to give me a few hints... Might save me spamming the forum...

Usefull Info:

sometimes fritz.box needs to be replace with the actual IP of the Gateway

Again, the cinema id number in the cinema plugin might be used for this feature ...
