Minimize A Playing Event

1/3/2018

0 Comments

 
RightBooth includes the event action: Minimize.
This action allows a RightBooth event to be minimized to the Windows task bar while it is playing, which may be useful if you need to gain access to the operating system midway through an event without having to stop the event playing.

To enable this feature you must add the new action to an item on one of the event screens.  ​Here we describe how to achieve this.
From the RightBooth main window, click the Edit button to take you to the Screen Editor.

The following steps refer to the image below, and the red number labels on it...
  1. Make sure you are working on the Start screen by clicking on the Start list item on the Screen Editor toolbox
  2. Tick the Add items checkbox
  3. Click the Button button on the Add items toolbox to add a new button to the Start screen
  4. Click on the new button to select it
  5. Tick the Properties checkbox to show the Button properties toolbox
  6. Click on the Action drop down list and choose the action: Minimize

Now return to the RightBooth main window and click the Play button to play your event.  Then if you click on the newly added button, the event window will be minimized to the Windows Taskbar.
Hiding the Button
What if you don't want your users to know about this minimize feature?

  • Go back into the Screen editor
  • Select the button and show its properties again.
  • Set it's Opacity value to 0 (zero). See '7' on the image above

Setting the button item to Opacity 0 causes it to become invisible, but it will still react to a click or a touch when the event is playing.

You could also reduce the size of the button and perhaps place it in the top left corner of the screen to prevent anyone from accidentally touching it.
