Reply to DesktopX 3.5 Guided Tour in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I don't know what documentation you're talking about but, the current documentation is at least for 3.0 or greater [link="https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/documentation/index.asp"]Stardock DesktopX Documentation[/link].

Reply to Scripting a Popup Shortcut in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Yeah, I've got everyone fooled! It looks complex but, if you've worked with statements/formulas in Excel it's just a matter of finding things in the DesktopX Documentation and the WSH SDK Help File. Edit: SViz, yeah I had that problem with the menu bar gadget. Probably best to set the command object to a null value in the Exit Script if it appears again. Oh!

Reply to Scripting a Popup Shortcut in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Oh, I forgot one thing. Before I went away last week I made a drop script based menu bar for my usb drive. The above script doesn't work when compiled to a gadget; so, I'm not sure how it will work in widgets or themes. I used an ini file but, persiststorage most likely will be the easiest way. Here's a script that uses persiststorage. Notice the additional function. [code="vbscript"] Const oBase = "objBase" Const oFile = "objFile" Const oFldr = "objFolde

Reply to DELETE MY ACCOUNT PLEASE.............. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Tycus, IMO there are many reasons why to keep it open but, jumping to deletion or locking can become habit forming. I was going to comment after first reading his post and went to see his DA account, which as skinhit so, eloquently put it demonstrated this users mentality. He was just bitching and not looking for help or any improvement. Perhaps the best reason to keep some of these threads is so n00bies can see what not to post. <img src="smiles/Wink.gif" border=0 align="absmi

Okay, here goes. Create three objects called objBase, objFile, objFolder respectively. objFile should be set up as a file shortcut object. objFolder should be set up as a Folder Shortcut Object. *Make sure you check the menu option. Set objFile & objFolder as child objects of objBase and set both to not visible. Everything will be controlled from the main script in the base object. Here's the script. [code="vbscript"] Const oBase = "objBase" Co

Depending on what your doing, why not use the "shortcut" object type? Under the General tab select change beside "Object Type" Choose shortcut in drop list box Choose Folder Check the Menu Location

Don't think there is a vbscript equivalent to send message. The best bet for detailed information about vbscript is MS Documentation [link="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=01592C48-207D-4BE1-8A76-1C4099D7BBB9&displaylang=en"]WWW Link[/link]

Reply to Opinions Wanted - Forms/Widget Preferences vs. Controls in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Yeah, I know the back end is really the developer's problem. I guess what could be construed as easy is relative to each user....and perhaps each widget? My problem with forms is they don't allow drag'n'drop which really limits them. For example you can't drag a folder onto a folder field or a file onto the file field; so, essentially this results in another step. I'm not big on ActiveX controls outside of the standard forms & preferences dialog and Skarn's Bits essentiall

Opinions Wanted - Forms/Widget Preferences vs. Controls in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

So, in my never ending avoidance of learning xpath I'm working on a "File Sorter" Widget. Usually, I begin with a rough script and basic objects that will accomplish things, then plan out the rest after. Surprisingly, that took less than an hour.At this stage I'm deciding whether to use scripted object controls (Some of Skarns Bits) for user input or to just go with the standard forms/widget preferences options. Having read a few articles on Gui design, the primary goal should be

Reply to 7 things i love about pizza... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

You guys all suck...thanks a lot for making me hungry! There was a nice small wood fired pizzeria on the other side of town. The original owner went to Italy but, it's gone down hill fast since they sold it. These are my favorites lately. [img]http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2774/newopizzaah5.jpg[/img]
