[quote]I hope it can be capitalized upon[/quote] May be, may be... :d So let's go forward! By the way, I nearly finished a big VBScript program which read the Header of media files (like MP3, MP2, MPG, MPEG, AVI, WAV, etc...) and help to get the detailed information about these files (including ID3v1, ID3v2 and Extended INFO tags). This is very useful program for people who want to put in order the files in their Media Library. I'll send you the most important fragments of co

More than, it seems that I really begin to lose my interest to DX! Why? Because this "game with gadgets creation" takes too much time to be a hobby and to be free-of-charge. If you remember I had this possibility more than 1,5 year ago because my business earned enough money for me. But now it is dead (you know...) And I must

Hi David, great idea :CONGRAT: , new site looks good and I'll try to help you and Thomas. But... Recently I have analyzed the download statistics for Featured DX widgets from the WC start page. Look at the results: 2004/2005 years: [B]up to 1500[/B] 2006 year: [B]400 - 650[/B] 2007/2008 years: [B]100 - 350 [/B] You can see the quantity of downloads has fallen down more than in 4 times... :SNIFF!: The DesktopX community lost the best of i

[quote]Have done the quick recent updates and am now on version 3.50.059 and have tried the DLL fix.[/quote] Don't use Impulse to update DesktopX (I tried two times and has the same problems. Moreover it doesn't install the pro version...). Do this through Stardock Central. I have already installed version 3.50.016. It works perfect.

Thank you for your answer! I understand that this is a complicated problem. And I'm always ready to help you work on it in any ways. But I have no time to wait until it will be fixed. So I'll begin to make my own WMP Control by using timers. Hope that it will not take a lot of PC resources like CPU and Memory... :d

I never used this method... However I'm sure it must work. You may write something like this: For Each obj In DesktopX.Objects Select Case obj.name Case "name1" It obj.state = "state1" Then obj.state = "state2" Else obj.state = "state3" Case "name2" Select Case obj.state Case "state1" ' Case "state2" ' Case "state3" ' etc...

I already informed on this problem. Please look here: [link="https://forums.wincustomize.com/165250"]WWW Link[/link] I found this problem long ago. The last version of Windows Media Player that was supported in DesktopX is [B]11.0.5721.5230[/B]. Any of newest versions from [B]11.0.6000.6344[/B] are not working.

Hmmmm... Unfortunately the Windows Media Player ActiveX control (version 11.0.6001.7000) is not working as before. Any of events like [B]Control_MouseDown[/B], [B]Control_Playlist[/B], [B]Control_CurrentItemChange[/B] etc... are not supported. :SNIFF!: :SNIFF!: :SNIFF!: Is there any chances to fix this problem or I need to make my own ActiveX control for Vista Media Player (nearly half of year I can't play my music library with DX.)?

Do this before launching DesktopX after update.[/quote] Thank you very much!!!!! The Script Editor is working. :CONGRAT: Now I'll begin the full test of DX (import, edit, export, etc...). Hope it was the last bug and I'll can finally finish all of my widgets/gadgets for Vista. :d

Today I have installed DesktopX 3.5 056 through Impulse. Alas the Script Editor has ceased to work. Now it doesn't load any scripts (not only from my old projects but from Tutorial DX Objects too) and I'm very sad and disappointed again... :SNIFF!:

[quote]Is that allowed? I thought that would be considered a rip.[/quote] You may ask the permission to use their scripts. The only one thing. Richard M. doesn't make a scripts for his widgets...

[quote]Version 4.0 will add the ability to export any widget you build to the Apple Dashboard Widget format.

[quote]Yep, DX-made sidebar gadgets don't work on SP1, I can confirm that one.[/quote] More than! Any of my projects exported as a standalone gadgets don't work too... However they work as a widgets! And I can finally edit the scripts on Vista SP1. So I must say that nearly 95% of DesktopX functions are already working on Vista. Let's wait a bit until Stardock will show us the release of Object Desktop 2008 (~ 31 March). Hope this will be a perfect product as always.
