Thanks Felix.
Phew. This sounds like a really complex setup. A few notes:
Well, I like complex setups. ;-)
Are you using an action from the Virtual Remote here? Or are you issuing a keystroke? Or using AppleScript to send a "Menu" button press to Remote Buddy?
I used Virtual Remote
What do you want to achieve with this action?
Stop playing the slideshow and exiting the slideshow app.
Please keep in mind that at this point, your "parent behaviour" is active and that - if you send a menu button code to Remote Buddy - the action that's mapped to the Menu button of your "parent behaviour" gets executed.
If the action mapped to the Menu button is to activate your virtualmouseclone Behaviour, than that's what will happen.
Bingo! That's what happens. The "parent behaviour" was still active without the parent application running, showing the RemoteBuddy menu above the Desktop. I assumed, no behavior would be active at that time. And this activated the virtualmopusclone with a subsequent press of the Menu button.
Still a few questions:
How can I deactivate the "parent behaviour" other than switching to another behaviour? Running a couple of "deactivate active behaviour" didn't do the trick.
Is there a "no behaviour active state" in RemoteBuddy, aka I'd like to be in the same state as when I've just started RemoteBuddy?
After I've quit the slideshow, deactivated my slideshow behaviour (hopefully you tell me how) and opened the Remote Buddy menu, is there a way to navigate through the RemoteBuddy menu to the exact position, where I've opened the last slideshow file? This is the default, when I open the RemoteBuddy menu while my parent behaviour is still running, but I need to quit the parent behaviour as explained above, to prevent it to trigger the virtualmouseclone when pressing Menu.
If it can't be done this way with RemotBuddy, an alternative would be to trigger different events when pressing the Menu button within my "parent behaviour" depending on whether the parent app is running or not.
Thanks for any tips
Peter
