Reply to Scripting With Notepad-New question- Help is APPRECIATED! in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

The message box will suspend the script until you make a selection or close it. With the details you've given it's hard to suggest something. If the program you're running is not tied to the result of the message box than the simplest suggestion is to make two subs & pause the sub that runs the app. [code="vbscript"] Call MyApp 'The app sub must be called first or the message box sub will override it Call MyMessages Sub MyMessages Dim MyVar MyVar = MsgB

My first suggestion is to get this script documentation from Microsoft. [link="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=01592C48-207D-4BE1-8A76-1C4099D7BBB9&displaylang=en"]WWW Link[/link] Then look at the MsgBox Function. Here's how to do it in vbscript. For each button you select there is an assigned number that is returned. No = 7 [code="vbscript"] Dim MyVar MyVar = MsgBox ("Hello World!", 67, "MsgBox Example") ' MyVar contains either 1

:rubseyes: There's someone haven't seen in awhile. :) Agreed, I think they should just remove the first line from the manual. Better off using the states anyways. Now carry on answering all the questions we've been waiting for you to answer! :d

Reply to Scripting Icon Size in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Thanks for the thoughts Jingles. I've tried & haven't been able to access this setting via script. The reason it is set up the default way makes sense. For the average user they can create drop containers really easy. My work-a-round for future reference is pretty simple. I'm using a drop the clone script. So, I set up base objects for various icon sizes and read from the users settings to clone the related object. Eg. If the user has 64px as their shortcut size then it clones

Yeah, I know what you mean because I used to use that feature but, have replaced it with other tools or minimize all. I've got a VBScript API Wrapper Class that may give some alternatives to this but, won't be playing around with it until in the new year. A widget shouldn't be available in alt+tab, that would simply be retarded IMO. Might I point out that gadgets appear in alt+tab just like any other compiled app. Latin, I love your enthusiasm and look forward to seei

The audio shouldn't be a problem. I've created a Folder for this over at Box.net.

I'm one of the one's who'd have to argue. While I agree the scripting only environment has it's limitations; so, to has your app. Your library can't be compared equally to DesktopX. It's merely a skinning extension to an already existing development environment...right? In Order to basically create a program to sell I've got to buy the development environment for how many $100s then shell out $50 to licence your library. Personally, I'm getting sick of all

Okay, I'll break down the planned structure. 1) The Basic External Folder Structure will be like this: * Community Xmas Tree - this is main Folder and will hold the config files at it's root * Four subfolders will hold the different items decorations,animated_decorations,stands, trees. The config panels are generated from these folders. 2) On first load you will see a blank/plain Christmas tree and the main toolbar. * Main Toolbar consists of three buttons: Open

Thanks Po! sViz, I don't think it matters since I plan to make them sizable. Whatever anyone can provide is fine with me. Guess people could post what they're working on in order to eliminate duplication? Quick Status Update: I should be able to have this coded by later tonight thanks to the crappy weather.

[quote]Excellant. I'll see if I can come up with a tree.[/quote] Sounds Great. Here's where it is atm. Loads decorations from a decorations folder and the trees from a trees folder. Clicking on a decoration adds it to the tree. I'm going to do away with a separate decoration config panel. FYI those decorations are not mine & won't be included. Happy to provide links though.
