If your object's all have the same parent but are NOT grouped you can move them at the same time by moving the parent and you can still move the child objects independantly. Could that be what you did differently?
That's a good idea seldom. There's some really funny ones in this thread I'll have to save.
seldomseen, that's hilarious!
Weird. Re #26 I just read that paragraph from the Wikipedia article on Christmas. Don't know why he posted it here. It's strange I never realized there were gadgets mixed in with the widgets before. I agree that they should be kept in seperate sections. As to the original post I agree with all three points to a degree. I made a gadget once back when I knew next to nothing about DX, but that was only because I looked at the 3 options (object, widget, gadget) as ranging from 'okay' to '

Ha. I just realized that if you right click on DX Builder and choose Configure DesktopX Builder > Desktop > Labels you can change color and font.
No problem. Good luck.
Thanks everyone!!!
Yeah, you seem to be much better at scripting than me. After hours of trying to get it just right I came back here and realised that you wanted the WHOLE table of info and not just the info you had in the text object. Well, I worked out a script for just the info you had in the text object. I had trouble removing unwanted spaces and keeping the spaces you do want. If you check out the object below you'll see how
Where do you guys get those big, animated smiles from and how do you post them?
Okay well, my DX says it doesn't support system.sendrequest so I'll just have to stick to the RSS method. There is a tutorial on how to make an RSS reader by CerebroJD WWW Link Took me a while to figure it out but once I got the hang of it I was able to make my very own RSS feeder.(To be released soon)
*slaps forehead* If forgot the quotations around "Get". Will get back to you.
Will a rss reader work for any site? If you manipulate the script it can work for html but you have to have some kind of identifier for the info you want or it won't work. I think Rabidrobot explains it better. I didn't know about system.sendrequest. I tried it like so: strPage= System.SendRequest("http://www.comcast.net", Get, False)<b
Is it posible to pull html from websites into desktop x? Yes, I think so. I'm no expert but I was fooling around with the source code from this daily factoid site and even though it wasn't formatted to be read like xml I could still pull the information I wanted from the HTML code. Load up the webpage that you’re trying to get info from
Okay so there's an object (let's call it object2) that has no visiblity because of the parent. You have a button that makes "object2" visible when you click the button. But you'd like to set focus on "object2" via script? How about using object.setfocus You can insert a script like this in the button: Sub Object_OnLButtonUp(x,y,d) If Not d Then desktopx.Object("object2").visible = True desktopx.Object("object2").setfocus End If End Sub

For those who have some place to be, the short story: Some ideas: A FAQ section for the popular programs like DX More organized tutorial section Streamlined forums A place to share scripts More examples in the DX documentation for the advanced stuff Some kind of incentive to motivate people to help out in the community For those who have time here’s my two cents. If you take a l

Insert this script into your object. Function Object_OnLButtonUp(x,y,dragged) If not dragged Then On Error Resume Next Set Sh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Sh.Run (Chr(34)& "" & Chr(34)) Set Sh = Nothing End If End Function

You can't change tool tip settings but you can change the color of labels. Just go to the object's Properties > Relation. At the bottom there should be two color buttons "Label color" and "Selected"-- that is, the color of the label when unselected or selected. You will get a prompt when you click on it asking if you want to use global colors. Choose no and you will be presented with the Color Chooser window. Choose your colors and you're done. <img src="smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmidd
Thanks, joserey and rabidrobot. What gives with the Luna? Aw, come on. Luna can be................nostalgic.
When I read the title of this article the first image that popped in my head was the digital newspaper from the movie Minority Report. I think a paperless society is unrealistic considering how many things we use paper for not just writing or printing paper. Digital records can be unreliable as they can be tampered with, manipulated, or corrupted, and sometimes can go undetected. I will concede that hard copies can just as easily be destroyed (by fire,
I had a look at the widget and the sites. To my understanding some feeds are formatted to handle foreign characters and symbols, others aren't. If you take a look at the script for the widget you'll find a series of code that look like this: rssdata = Replace(rssdata, "'", "'") This is where you would replace the gibberish with the correct characters. Unfortunately there's no way to type squares, and even if you could there would be no way to tell if that square is act
I think it has to do with how special characters are written in code For instance, I found that the dash character (-) appears as & #045; on my feeds. A little scripting can replace common coding errors like that with the actual characters If I know which widget you're using I could crack it open and see if the problem can be fixed in the script. Also what's the url for the site are you trying to get feeds from?
In case anyone was wondering, or has had the same problem, I got it to work by using a bitmap instead of a png.
Happy B-day, seldomseen!
That's cool.
Sorry, forgot to mention it's in the widget gallery. It's really a dx player. I just called it "NrG Media Player".
