I think it's your terminology, as I've seen this answered before. Are you building/deploying a gadget to distribute to each user? If the answer is yes than you're fine. If you're loading desktopX onto more than one system with out an enterprise license than obviously it's a violation.
Is your code like this? [code="vbscript"]Set oAutoIt = CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control")[/code]
The com object comes with the full install of AutoIt. There should be a subfolder called AutoItX that contains the object, help file and some sample scripts. AutoIt Script Homepage
Anyone want to dispute that? ..umm..yeah...uh...got nothing! Yes, Aroche is the Cursor King. Congrat's and well deserved.
Limited time. --> http://www.sendspace.com/file/frp0do You'll probably need to most recent version of AutoIT 3 for this to work as I downloaded it on August 30th.
Another one to look at may be specifically the AutoITX Com object but, it won't expose the GDI either. If you're doing this solely for yourself it would be possible to script external commands using the extended Auto3Lib that exposes the GDI. Then just call the specific scripts from your objects within DesktopX.
It's what I consider the "cult of victimhood" Which usually includes a huge lacking of Personal Responsibility and overly eager sense of entitlement. I have corrected on many occasions is the commonly used phrase "90% of businesses fail in the first year" That number is highly flawed. It's primarily government statistics that references businesses that no longer generate taxable income. There wa
Winner. A thought that perhaps fall's under three? Winners: Learn from their mistakes/failures in an effort not to repeat them. Funny, I was reading an old blog post of your's today along similar lines. In all my years of personal readings of success literature, rarely have I seen much discussion about failure. Even though it is one of best ways to learn. Example: In management courses we covered at least twice as many business failure case studies as successe
Very nice work. Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you're putting into the DesktopX section of the wiki.
Haptork, I think the best thing to do is what RomanDA does. Both a free usually feature limited version with a link to the full pay version. It obviously works since Stardock and numerous other developers do it this way. Some suggestions would be to add export functions (xls/spreadsheet, csv, html/css,ics??) into the advanced version. Please tell me about how many people buy a gadget or skin in general if it is average? You ma
Thanks. From what I've read it's not true encryption but, good enough protection for me. Thought I had a vbscript that could securely delete files using Gutmann process plus the Tiger hash for randomization. Essentially similar to the program Eraser. Seem to have lost it.
You can't price your work based on what income it will generate for your customer unless of course they are selling your work. If it's being used as a component, etc, etc. then it's going to be worth a set value. Kind of agree with vStyler...I'm not a WB Skinner but, if you say 100 hours at $50/hr or 200 hours at $25/hr then you get the gist. Personally, I'd go into the meeting with two numbers what you want to get and what you're willing to settle for. <div class="Article_Quo
I think I've found a way to protect external scripts a little better then the standard MS Encoder. Just have run into a little snag. In order to make things a little more secure I package the decoder script into an executable using vbstoexe. However, I can't get the package exe to run from within the object. Have tried Exec Method, Run Method and the run method via a command line string without success. All the files are included at the link below. Your AV may flag the Decoder.exe
Nice suggestions but, I have some ideas or comments about a few of them *cough* big surprise! #Stability and speed IMO the problem with this often resides with the skinner/developer and/or is dependent on the elements within a widget/theme(Messy/bulk scripts and large images, etc). That means there is little control over what DesktopX can do. I know in the Pro version I've
Messiah, "Sexy" yes it is! vStyler, really like the spectrum/rainbow colour you've got going in that.
Happy Birthday little fella...they grow up so fast!
Directly from Windows there is no way. Either use a script or search for File Renaming freeware.
Short answer "no". DesktopX doesn't expose the full Win Api and for some obvious reasons. Here's what I can tell you. Rainlendar 2 is suppose to be or is scripting is being developed so, this may be within reach. Haven't been back to the forums over there in quite some time. There are two ways to access or more accurately control an external window. 1. The easiest being the AutoIt3 com object which can be directly called from within desktopX. As I write this
Looks very good. Particularly loving that gravity mode concept in the screenshot! IMO Skinable widgets will be the most significant advance in widgets of late & put Stardocks' DesktopX back in the lead. I agree DX is very underrated and under utilized, the amount of things its capable of are astounding. Definitely, agree with this. Sadly I have at
So, eprompter is still around? Great little app used to use it on my laptop. FYI It can be scripted. Case in point is that I used Webmail with Thunderbird and it seems to be primarily javascript. *Note: This is not an offer, I haven't got a clue nor do I know javascript that well. Plus, I learned my lesson by opening my big trap on iReflector well ahead of the game!
Happy Birthday Po'!
I'm not familiar with all flavours of Vista but, I'd think he would have an up-to-date version then?
Yeah, great features. Thanks for the feature and to the guys/gals at Stardock/Wincustomize for keeping me on my toes!
That's the documentation, I'd say get that if plan to do scripting in DesktopX you won't regret it. This is the one you want for XP. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=47809025-d896-482e-a0d6-524e7e844d81&DisplayLang=en Keep in mind that the version you're running is a beta too. IMO Stardock betas are fairly stable but, they are still betas.
I'm sorry to see some more vitriolic comments on this somewhat harmless original post, We all view things differently. What may be a harmless post to one may be highly offensive to another. Sometimes we don't even see that. When an issue is politically charged you will always find the thread full of heated debates. I for one like this aspect of Wincustomize and as long as threads don't degrade into insults, I find them quite refreshing. <b
