Hehe DX Is powered by WScript, WMI, etc etc.. LOTS of fun can be had you can akmost strip Windows bare-nekkid and see everything that goes!.. But I digress.. There is a small Command-line program called "ClAmp" which can control WinAmp at one point I used the combination of that program and a DX object to control winamp (That is until I found DXPlayer can toggle the playlist!)
Or if you're running DesktopX at same time, you can also limit the work area (Amount of space filled by a MAXIMIZED window). Here's how; 1. Go into DesktopX Builder Configuration, (Double-Click the Icon in th System Tray) 2. Click the "Desktop" Tab 3. Click the "Workarea" button Voila I'm sure you can figure the rest out from there..
OK I understand what you want to do (I think!) ..Ok so you have new e-mails to look at so when you click the object to take you to your e-mail you need to first ask for a password.. Then! Sub Object_OnLButtonUp(x,y,dragged) 'This is the object to take you to e-mail Dim pw pw = InputBox "Enter password" If pw = "yourpassword" Then 'code to take you to e-mail Else msgbox "Wrong password" End If End Sub
This is something I've been wondering for some time. I can make a list of all available media files in folders appear in a drop-down list but yeah? I know DesktopX's DXPlayer plugin can toggle the playlist for WinAmp (not sure about other media players though).. I also know that you can open playlist files (i.e. *.m3u) in notepad and you can edit it in that?? Not sure if I'm on the right track or not but its a step in A direction. If I've sparked anything lemme know. - James
Hmm, instead of using ObjectDock.. Why not create a "fake" dock using DesktopX and have it centered in the screen using a script such as... Sub Object_OnScriptEnter Object.Left = System.VScreenLeft + System.VScreenWidth/2 - Object.Width/2 Object.Top = System.VScreenTop + System.VScreenHeight/2 - Object.Height/2 End Sub

There's always the option of making a PNG animation of it instead? I usually make my animations as static images using Blender3D then slap em together with AniUtil Woo I have Legs! err Yeah so try that!
Well I suppose if you KNOW the amount of hours to add for each Zone, why not create a Drop-Down/Combobox list of the different TimeZones and just add hours & day depending which ones is selected? Say if you're currently GMT time and you need to shift to a U.S time zone then just add the relevant hours to the time
Okismokes! It is possible to change the screen Resolution via WMI Services! Woo! Sharing this info it can be found in the Win32_VideoConfiguration Class, you set the HorizontalResolution (i.e. 1024) and the VerticalResolution (i.e. 768).. Learning is fun!
Something to look into... maybe WMI Services can help? It seems its the place to go to mess with system settings (apart from setting IP addresses!). I had an idea for a Screen Resolution changer... Ku... Back in a Jiffy!
Or why not, for the time just have: Sub Object_OnTimer1 Object.Text = FormatDateTime(Time(),4) End Sub This will produce an output like: "11:52"
Yeah, like that Zubaz but I'm just wanting methodical opinions on how to create one.. If ya get what I mean.. I did a kinda test object .. I will post it later (if I can find it)
Hello All! Rightio.. The thing thats on my mind is making a Desktop Pet... The only way I can go about making the pet itself is to model it in 3D, set up the animations and the output the frames to individual PNG (mainly for Alpha Channel support) images, then use a tool like AniUtil to make the animation strip. Make a new object in DesktopX and set up different states for the different animations (i.e. "Walk" for it walking, etc) then use a Right-Click system OR text-command system to swit
TheGuyPC: How exactly do you disable that "Save" dialog on switching desktops? I've been hunting around and can't find an answer anywhere
Ta ?
Yay For the Run command *Dances* --- Another way to display the actual name of the folder being displayed (i.e. "My Documents") in an object would be to use FileSystemObject ... See the tutorials in the DX Scripting Guide and follow the links to Microsoft MSDN site (this is an extremely useful site, lots of potential fun can be had)
Also, heh this is the long way.. for each object go into the Properties, click the Relation tab and at the bottom there are 2 comboboxes, Horizontally & Vertically, set these both to Disabled(Don't move).. That should work

There a lot of controls listed that cannot be used, depending what you have installed on our system, only way is to play with each one... I have a problem using the Windows Media Player control, I can't get it to do anything! But thats by the by
Ok This script will work for the Right hand side, mouse over a small part of the object left on screen and it comes out Sub Object_OnMouseEnter Object.KillTimer 2 Object.SetTimer 1, 10 End Sub Sub Object_OnTimer1 If Object.Left Object.KillTimer 1 Else Object.Left = Object.Left - 1 'Else moves the object out End If<br
I would suggest playing around with the Object.KillFocus property...
MUAHAHAHA! Assuming you have your links/URLs stored somewhere safe... I would Advise you to make your Trays.. Add them to a Group, set all the objects Visible property to No (so they're hidden by default) then create another object as the Object controller to make them visible when needed..Also, see my Tab Scripts in this DX theme https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?LibID=31&SkinID=3542
I think this may require some Registry tweaks, so BACK IT UP!! + Click "Start" > "Run" and type REGEDIT click ok or press enter + Navigate to HKY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\DesktopX + In the list on Right there should be "Palette" (REG_DWORD) + Double-click and change the Value to "1" Close Regedit And Restart DesktopX ... Also If anyone else has info re the settings for DX in the Regsitry (most important, "Running" and "Silent" please get back to me
First things first, All the images in the strip need to be the same Height AND Width. Second thing, you know you have 13 pics in the strip, so in the Animation Settings, set the number of frames to 13, Should be alright then
>> JOY! Haven't seen a thread like this in AGES... Ku... >> Carry On <<
Xixao3D: I used something like this: Sub Object_OnLButtonDown(x,y) On Error Resume Next DesktopX.ScriptObject("WebCtrl").Control.GoBack End Sub
Errm.. The only way to do that would to use Microsoft Browser ActiveX control(this is the only way I can think of anyway), have it Navigate2 Myspace.com (assuming you're on Auto-Login/Remember Me) and use the Control.document.body.innerHTML to search for "New Friend Requests" or "New Messages".. Quite possibly using VBScript SendKeys... Not sure But its a good idea
