Anything is possible. Natively...as in without scripting it's not possible on any platform to my knowledge. It can be scripted but, will take some work. Thermalsensor has a code in this thread that would be a great start.

[Link] VBScriptMania in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Just found this MS Access based app called VBScriptMania. Requires MS Access 2002 or newer, sadly I'm on '97. Thought I'd share and it's suppose to allow you to store your scripts locally and comes with 2000 scripts. http://web.clicknet.ro/xidie/vbscriptmania.html

In popup or right click menus add an "&" symbol before a letter. When the menu is called selecting that letter will execute the resulting menu item. [code="vbscript"] mainmenu.AppendMenu 0, 1, "&item1" mainmenu.AppendMenu 0, 2, "i&tem2" mainmenu.AppendMenu 0, 3, "it&em3" [/code]

The DVD analogy is a pretty poor one. Let's say all three of your family members wanted to watch the same DVD but, at different times while the other ones' are already at a different point in the movie...can't be done! Let's say at some point the predictions of primarily web based models happens. In order to play the game you have to subscribe each member of the household. Subscription services I think would be more in lime with what Bunnahabhain said and I think there would be family/f

Reply to Sad Day For Music in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

All around nice guy too. Met him about 18 years ago after playing a concert at college. You could see how exhausted he was but, took the time to meet, talk and sign autographs. Very genuine. Very sad day and I think his jazz career would've out shined his blues.

I think it's been delayed with the additional Vista patch release? Frogboy mentioned that in one of articles a short time ago. ;) While you're waiting might I suggest you write a couple DX javascript articles it's a little sparse in that avenue and if memory serves me correctly you're a js wiz! :D

Reply to No Weather Widget Will Work in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Listen to her, she's the weather goddess! ;) Have been spending too much time looking at code. The method used in most (nee all?) weather scripts will work out of the box; so, my msxml suggestion doesn't matter. Admittedly I don't use those widgets all that often but, use an Environment Canada feed for mine. I think there's error controls in the standard scripts but, I can write either a function or work on creating a separate diagnostic type object?

How to Minimize Windows from DesktopX in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

This was asked a while ago (I think) and in my quest to learn the shell application object better I stumbled upon some doc's in my knowledgebase. This script is based on the "Accessing Windows Shell with WSH-Scripts" article under the samples section at http://freenet-homepage.de/gborn/WSHBazaar/WSHBazaar.htm . This script will toggle minimize/undo minimize the windows. [code="vbscript"] Dim blnMin b

Was reading your post was merely making a statement about the firewall being the most common problem. Maxthon uses IE as a base if I remember correctly so, it should have the basic web components. Do a search on your computer for msxml.dll or msxml and a number from 1 to 6. Edit: Go here and download this and make sure desktopx is closed or at the very least the weather widgets are before install. If this doesn't fix it I'm at a loss.

Yeah, it is the easiest Widget Engine out of the box. [quote]I use a lot of Visual Basic 6 in my work, what pertains to my needs, but now there is something new to learn.
