Truly a well deserved feature & member of the community. A good example of why she deserves to be featured is also in her reply above. Between her tutorials, wiki contributions, DesktopX creations and forum contributions her positivity and creativity is infectious. I feel all warm & fuzzy inside. Way to go.

Reply to Retrieving Other Object Variables in DesktopX Development WinCustomize Forums

Ignore what I just said? This script worked for me. [code="vbscript"] For Each obj In DesktopX.Objects On Error Resume Next 'MsgBox ("Error # " & CStr(Err.Number) & " " & obj.Name) 'Err.Clear ' Clear the error. With DesktopX.ScriptObject(obj.Name) If .objGroupNumber=1 Then DesktopX.Object(obj.Name).Visible = False MsgBox .objGroupNumber End If End With [/code]

Reply to Retrieving Other Object Variables in DesktopX Development WinCustomize Forums

Okay. You are always going to get errors if you are searching each scripted object for a variable that isn't set. So, the only quick idea based on what you've given would be to set a zero-length string(or a null value) in all scripted objects then do the If Statement. "Dim objGroupNumber objGroupNumber="" [code="vbscript"] For each obj in DesktopX.Objects If DesktopX.ScriptObject(obj.Name).objGroupNumber="" Then Else MsgBox DesktopX.ScriptObject(obj.Name).ob

Without knowing more about the variable/script that you've provided it's hard to give complete answers. My thinking is that maybe an If Statement within the For Next statement may be all you need? [code="vbscript"] For each obj in DesktopX.Objects If DesktopX.ScriptObject(obj.Name).objGroupNumber > 1 And DesktopX.ScriptObject(obj.Name).objGroupNumber MsgBox DesktopX.ScriptObject(obj.Name).objGroupNumber Else End If Next [/code] If all

Reply to Would you like tabs with that? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

That's what I'm using it with and why the tab probably looks familiar. Sranshaft made one in DesktopX about the same time as Andrew it's called GhostTabs . I'm thinking of doing a gadget similar to StickyWindows.

Would you like tabs with that? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Or how to add a tab to any window for that matter. This requires the AutoItX Com object that comes with the full install & takes care of registering it for you. Also, it includes substantial documentation. Since I use Rainlendar 2 then you might need to change the "Window Titles" use the Au3Info.exe that is in the AutoIt Folder. Double Click it, select freeze from the options menu and drag the finder tool over each Rainlendar window to get the title. <a href="http://www.au

Reply to Album Art Script in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

So, basically it sounds like you want someone to do this for you? Look for the Windows Media Player SDK and/or an external com object. Also, maybe check out some of the media player widgets in the gallery.

Reply to Album Art Script in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

The first part could use the FSO as well but, this would work on the assumption that the user's music library is set up in traditional way. eg. My Music\Artist\Album\song1.mp3 This code uses the FSO to retrieve the Album & Artist information. What you need to do then is probably to pagescrape the album image from what ever database you use to get the Album image. IMO it's probably better to pull the album/artist information directly from the song. [code="vbscript"]Dim

Got your email and sorry I haven't replied. the performance meter plugin I thought about myself sometime ago. There's also a DXChart3.dll but, I think that's just an extension of the performance meter? If you're talking a simple 2D bar graph then have a look at this post I did a while back Yes, Virginia You can script bar charts . The code is not edit nicely but, should get you started.

Reply to female skinners in Community WinCustomize Forums

The income issue is discussed quite regularly and you probably could have a subforum of discussions on that. Frankly - being on a disability pension just like Kitty - that was my main reason for purchasing DesktopX Pro with the hope of eventually to at the least augment my income or better yet being able to tell the government where to go. Unfortunately, that hasn't happened...yet, mostly due to the part that I've let my graphics skills lapse and spend too much time on the scr

A few days back I was going to suggest maybe someone should do an article on giving your computer's gui a "Makeover" but, I figured the typical person that if might attract would annoy all skinners regardless of sex. But we do support different flavours (notice I didn't say flavors) Yes, people of all colours and creeds. PS. Zubaz starts and ends with a "Zed"! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Tongue.gif" border=0 align="

I don't believe you wrote the post as an "I'm better than all of you" post, after reading your post a couple times. It just sounds that way when someone uses themselves as an examples. This question has been asked before maybe we need to change the question or put out a community challenge on how to attract more women into skinning? Just my two cents.

Reply to Question about Focus in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Used this today, playing around with making Console2 slide in/off screen from an object. In the AutoItX Help file look under Com Interface|Methods|Window Management. I'm using a variable called winTitle since I'm referencing the same window in multiple functions. What this does is bring the window focus back to the top. [code="vbscript"] Dim winTitle winTitle="Console" oAutoIt.WinActivate winTitle, ""[/code]
