Custom variable for font-size not working

[rtruss]

So I am looking to have a variable for font size % based on the DPI that is detected. My issue is that when using a percent style design it does not apply and my thought is that the variable name trips it up because of the % in the nams.

So here is what I have:
MONITOR=set:DPI=%7,hidden:1
IF=value1:%DPI%,comp:eq,value2:96
SET=key:fontsize,value:60%
IF=value1:%DPI%,comp:eq,value2:96
SET=key:leftspace,value:130
IF=value1:%DPI%,comp:eq,value2:96
CONTROL=wide:1,left:%leftspace%,font-size:%fontsize%,button-color:%blue%,display:Get Help now,uri:https://service-now.com
comment=text:font-size:%fontsize% left:%leftspace%

The comment section properly displays what I am attempting to do but the control item never loads and if I font-size: from %fontsize% to 60% it works.

I am working on cutting down the number of install config files I need due to all the hardware and vendors we have. The more variables I can use the better the experience will be when docking and undocking.

Also just to ask is there a way to have a single IF do multiple things, like in say powershell does?

say this:
IF=value1:%DPI%,comp:eq,value2:96
(SET=key:fontsize,value:60%
SET=key:leftspace,value:130)

vs this:
IF=value1:%DPI%,comp:eq,value2:96
SET=key:fontsize,value:60%
IF=value1:%DPI%,comp:eq,value2:96
SET=key:leftspace,value:130

Just have to ask and as always thanks in advance all!

I’ll answer the second question first because I’ve been thinking about that for a while. Your proposed solution is, of course, the correct one. However, that makes for some really ugly code and that’s why I haven’t done it up until now.

Now it occurs to me that a slightly less obvious but more appealing (to the programmer) answer is to add an option to the IF item, “eval” (or something) that indicates how many of the following items to evaluate in the event the item returns TRUE. Your example in this format will evaluate the following 2 items if IF is TRUE:

IF=value1:%DPI%,comp:eq,value2:96,eval:2
SET=key:fontsize,value:60%
SET=key:leftspace,value:130

where the default value is 1.

and the answer to question 1 is, the font-size is not using variables and is crashing out on the %fontsize% value. I’ll add that.

As always Glenn, AWESOME! I am soooo close to a single ini file to cover ~98% of the hardware we run and the %fontsize% is the last hurdle. The IF item while would help clean it up works. The control and control2 items are the reason I am looking to use such a variable as they will not resize accordingly with that. 🙁 every thing else the control items resize when I switch displays and even the dpi settings now.

Here is my latest ini file

wow! you’ve gone all out! 🙂 I see how the updated IF item can be useful to you.

I meant to post this yesterday and you’ve probably already worked this out. This is how your first example would look with the updated IF item:

INI

# defaults font-size=10 # process once during load up begin-onload SET=key:fontsize,value:100% SET=key:leftspace,value:130 MONITOR=set:DPI=%7,hidden:1 IF=value1:%DPI%,comp:eq,value2:96,eval:2 SET=key:fontsize,value:60% SET=key:leftspace,value:130 end-onload CONTROL=wide:1,left:%leftspace%,font-size:%fontsize%,button-color:%blue%,display:Get Help now,uri:https://service-now.com comment=text:DPI:%DPI% font-size:%fontsize% left:%leftspace%

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

# defaults font-size=10   # process once during load up begin-onload SET=key:fontsize,value:100% SET=key:leftspace,value:130 MONITOR=set:DPI=%7,hidden:1 IF=value1:%DPI%,comp:eq,value2:96,eval:2 SET=key:fontsize,value:60% SET=key:leftspace,value:130 end-onload   CONTROL=wide:1,left:%leftspace%,font-size:%fontsize%,button-color:%blue%,display:Get  Help now,uri:https://service-now.com comment=text:DPI:%DPI% font-size:%fontsize% left:%leftspace%

your multiple MONITOR items can be consolidated to one:
[items]
BEGIN-ONLOAD
MONITOR=set:Hres=%4 Vres=%5 DPI=%7
…

i’ll try and get that out in the next few days
