Got my new G15 keyboard the other day.. been working on a thing for the LCD. I know theres a few othersdone.. but hey.. thats not gonna stop me from having some fun coding... ;)
It uses this: http://www.avbrand.com/software/g15/
This is what i have so far (screenshots from the program transfering to LCD)
Showing character info:
Showing POS fuel left:
And my favourite:
The DPS stuff.. it reads the last log from the gamelogs and displays some info from it.
Gonna work on manufacturing jobs and sell orders and what else i might use myself... its basicly a small .exe program that reads .vbs scripts.. and i write one script for each function i want.
Atm.. with button 1 and 2 you switch between diffrent views.. right now its POS/Character/DPS.. and with button 3-4 you can scroll or switch within these views... like between characters.. or between posses...
Ive also set it so the active view updates itself every minute.
Im hoping i can share it with you when its "ready" enough... and maybe you have some suggestions for functions?
And if all goes well and i "release" it.. you can write your own scripts too if you want.... if you know vbs :)
Well thats about it.. just checking if theres any intrest for this ;)

atm its only looking at the DPS logs every 1 minute.. but you could increase the frequency i guess.. and alert if scrambled within the last x seconds or smth... and im still working on this program yes. ;)
Trying to actually play eve too... so its not going superfast ;)
Only problem with increasing frequency of reading the gamelog.. is that if you have many gamelogs.. it needs to actually loop through all the files and check their creation date (atleast i havnt found any other solution for vbs via my trusty friend google) so if you have.. say like i had when i first tested this.. 10700 gamelogs.. it took 5-6 seconds for my highend machine to find the right file to read:P
trying to make it a bit more general and friendly to code in... but i will put it up here soon (tm) :)

Pretty nice application you've made there martinand :)
All I have to do now is buy myself a G15 keyboard.
hehe... thanks for pointing out all the things to improve after having running it for 1 minute in "emulation mode" :P

Hey.. soo.. what do you think it should say when someone tries to scramble you? Might as well get it right from the start... even though you can fairly easily change it yourself once you have it :P
See my original post for the text i put in for my testing.

Hey,
Thanks, nice to hear some feedback finally ;)
Yes most of the code or the part that matters is in the vbs files.
Theres some bugs.. im listing them in the top post.. i'll try and get to them, also i dont like the memory usage of it... ill try to find why its using so much (Here at work its 11mb.. at home its 4-5mb)

Hmm.. cant register the dll.. there is some Error.. maybe cause of Vista64 :/
Hey, yeah we solved this via ingame convo.. apparently you need to mention the full url.. regsvr32.exe c:\windows\syswow64\loglcd.dll

Hi,
Shouldn't have anything to do with .NET. YAAP is built with good ol' Visual Basic 6. Not sure whats going on there.
I havnt gotten around to fixing the bugs in the current version (some of which are listed in OP) but hopefully i can do it soon.. :)

Any idea of how to fix the issues I am having with it?
Gonna look into it... maybe its because you are in NPC corp.. so you cannot check corp-stuff and i dont have anythign in code to handle that.. i just assume ppl are in player corps... *investigates*
UPDATE: yes i get the same problem when i switch to a character in NPC corp.. ill work on a new version this weekend

Hey, i beleive my original post mentions you have to put it in syswow64 for 64-bit, glad you solved it. 
For me in vista it was enough to do regsvr32.exe C:\windows\syswow64\loglcd.dll maybe its diffrent in xp 64 :)

It is possible to change fontsize but im not sure on how well it will look.
You could try adding the line:
LCD.FontSize = 7
in
Public Function Startup (in startup.vbs)
i think the size is set to 6 by default... and i also thing anythign above 7 will look very strange.. from what i remember.
If you really know what you're doing you can probably change the font too.. by adding LCD.Font = <your font>
