UCV.cover
UCV.cov
Create a unicolor, opaque and protective cover
Intention
This command will create a protective cover between the user and the desktop.
You can use it to prevent the user from seeing serial numbers, and you can prevent the user from interacting with your setup-processes.
By default the cover has a windows-button color, that could be a sort of grey.
You can however change the cover-color using the "UCV.background" command.
To achieve this goal, Smart Package Robot will
- create a "Cover"-Form that will be placed above all other Forms*.
- make that form half transparent and add a grey desktop picture to it.
- that form will prevent the user from being able to see or click anything that is
below that form.*
- you can still use the Direct Engine to work with Setup-Programs.
- the Compatible Engine will not work if a Cover shields the desktop.
General usage is simple:
' Make a compeltely green cover
UCV.bgr|&H00FF00
UCV.cov
' Here comes your script, we use a PAUSE command instead
PAU.5
' Switch cover color to yellow
UCV.bgr|&H00FFFF
' This will remove the Cover
UCV.
ENR.
You can print a text on the cover, like this:
' Make a completely red cover
UCV.bgr|&H0000FF
UCV.cov
' Here comes your script, we use a PAUSE command instead
PAU.5
' Switch cover color to yellow
UCV.bgr|&H00FFFF
' Print on the cover screen
UCV.print|Hello world
' This will remove the Cover
UCV.
ENR.
Any cover is been removed immediately, when the script-process ends or when the script runs into an error.
The desktop-cover behavior can be changed/customized using the additional features:
UCV.transparency
UCV.no transparency
UCV.no blend
UCV.no blend-in
UCV.no blend-out
UCV.write
' this line will remove the cover
UCV.close
WHile "Matte" is a "dark glas", you can make the desktop-cover half transparent, by prefixing the script with:
UCV.tra
UCV.dc
PAU.10
' This line will remove the cover
UCV.
* PopUp-Menus and other TopMost Forms may be able to get temporarily in front of the Cover-form. This is due to windows-technical reasons and not a bug.
