(Just thought I'd post an update) Using the Microsoft.SideShow DLL rather than the Logitech DLL was a better idea as there's a lot of useful info on MSDN and this way it's much more generic so any SideShow compatible display will work. I modify the contents of a text file at key points in my script ...

Just FYI, I'm looking into Microsoft SideShow for this functionality now. Seems to be a good avenue to go down since they publish the API for native DLLs and the operating system handles the hardware interfacing itself. So I might be able to post messages directly from MS or I might need/want to bui...

Gale,

Thanks for the pointer.

My research continues...

Hi, On my mission to send simple status messages to my G15 LCD display while a script is running I've come across the Logitech API in their SDK, along with its documentation. The DLL is called lglcdapi.dll and according to the SDK manual the first thing that you need to do is initialise with: lgLcdI...

Hi, Has anyone else looked for some way to output messages to the LCD display, such as on a Logitech G15/G19? I would find this incredibly useful for displaying status messages, while the macro is running, without it creating a popup on the main screen. There are loads of applets available for the G...

ScreenCapture>61,900,122,947,c:\check_test.bmp
ScreenCapture>61,900,122,947,c:\test.bmp
CompareBitmaps>c:\test.bmp,c:\check_test.bmp

and it still fails with a -1

Hi all, Is there any other explanation for a return of -1 in CompareBitmaps? I am taking a ScreenCapture of a small part of the screen using: ScreenCapture>61,900,122,947,c:\check_test.bmp I then debug a script that contains: ScreenCapture>61,900,122,947,c:\test.bmp CompareBitmaps>c:\test.bmp,c:\che...
