Menssage after command...

[MaxWhite]

Hello! I want to know if it is possible to display a message after the command executed when I click a mouse button on XBMC ...
For example: Button 4: {Ctrl} {Alt} R <Messege>

Thanks and sorry wasting your precious time with this stupid person...

Hi, its not wasting my time, but unfortunately, its not something that is currently possible...
I will consider it as a feature request, but a little more information might be useful - where would you want the messages to appear etc?

VBS + simulate key?
{CTRL}{RSHIFT}{ESCAPE} {RUN:"C:\text.vbs"}
text.vbs

WScript.Echo "Hello" & vbCrLf & "World!"

Other VBS example:

Interesting usage of calling message as {CTRL}{RSHIFT}{ESCAPE} calls task manager That's good solution though to run some file by XMBC, but I wished some of them were triggered faster than up to 1 second. In this case that's no matter, but wehn I run some quick scripts while I am clicking quite much, then half or a quarter of second is too long for multiple clicks within short period

Do are you saying some sort of on screen display would be useful, or that you would prefer scripts run quicker?
I cant do much about speeding up the {run} command as that relies on the speed of Windows launching processes and the process itself!

Also I expect that the original idea does not want a message box that has to be cleared by clicking a button but an 'on screen display' style that shows a message for a short time (and is automatically replaced by something else if another button is pressed) but do correct me if I'm wrong!

I only noticed that RUN (that btw I suggested to introduce to XMBC ) is good for some tasks like this one, but experienced when used often during day, even once a minute can be annoying for running short scripts. I know it's Windows thing so that can not be changed by XMBC. The only what I meant by occasion of alike question is that RUN should be avoided to do that I do untill there's not better way to do the same faster.

OK just trying to judge how useful people would find an onscreen message display... I get the feeling that its not going to be used very much (so I wouldn't want to spend too long on it - not that I think it would take a long time ) but I don't know, maybe others would find it useful!
