You could use the DesktopX Edit Control (ActiveX), or Thomassen made one from scratch: Link In any case, you will want to check out the documentation: https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/documentation/index.html

If they have functionality - like a mini-program - they should be uploaded as a widget. Brad - This makes sense, except in some cases, where the object must be configured by the user, and in widget form (widget runtime) there is no access to the properties. Case in point is my latest Dragon Sid

Reply to Problems with Silica set in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "change any of the info". If you mean the normal settings for the widget, then it should work. I tried the C242 Performance widget and was able to get the config dialog by left clicking the work "Performance". If you mean changing the properties of the object itself by right-clicking, then you will need to have DesktopX Standard or Pro, and be in Builder Mode. The Client only version does not support Builder

Reply to Combobox problem in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Example: In your script, which you have assigned to be a DesktopX Combobox control: Sub Control_OnSelect(Item,String) If String = "FirstSelection" Then MsgBox("First selected") End If MsgBox(CStr(Item)&" is the number.") End Sub Note that the Item parameter is zero-based (zero is the first item).

Reply to silica mp3 widget - does it save state? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Well, it uses the DX player plugin, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't store the last used path, since mine seems to change based on what I did in other areas... for instance, I can open a playlist, then go to properties for a DX object and load an image, then go back to the open playlist dialog, and the folder is the one I used last for the image load. This is an area I would like to see some improvement in, since there seems to be no way

Reply to Have We Become too Internet Savvy? in Internet WinCustomize Forums

I knew I was in trouble the first time I was reading a novel and came across a character who had appeared before but I couldn't remember where, so I (mentally) just reached for the search key... And it's not just computers, it's media in general. I find myself reaching the end of a session of reading, usually fiction, and before I'm ready to put the book down, I very often now flip ahead randomly and just read little bits. I pondered why I

Reply to Z-Order, Desktop Level doesn't seem to be working correctly? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

It's like RR said, if the taskbar is set to OnTop, then whatever was clicked last will win - no way around that that I know of. What I did with his object for awhile was to keep it in a top corner, and use the mouseover event. That way, it won't compete with the taskbar and you don't even have to click, just throw your mouse up there. Lately though, I've gone more for autohide objects. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Wink.gi

From what I can tell from a couple of experiments, you are right, if an object is at Desktop level (or Normal, for that matter), then the windows + D method of show desktop will hide it. There is a function within DesktopX for showing the desktop (Object type - System - Show Desktop), so you might be able to set something up with that, like create a widget and register a hotkey for it. Check the DX docs: <a href="https://www.stardock.com/products/des

Reply to Widget Script or IE problem in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Fairyy - I took a look at Martin's control, and I believe your problem is probably due to not having an ActiveX control that he used - and I think it came with MS Office 98. It's the control that he used for the drop-down box in the object, and since that doesn't work, then the web object can't be set either. The object's script could be changed to use the DesktopX drop-down control, which you would have (since it comes with DesktopX) or yo
