Reply to Help creating a DX Script in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

[e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Great idea, Phoon. Just the kind of thing DX is good for. For the lines marked TODO, you could display a message box with en error report and further instructions, if necessary. Example syntax below: x = MsgBox("Error: file not found",48,"YOUR TITLE HERE")

Phoon, try correcting these three lines in your code: Dim path : path = \\kch-files\public\test.txt Dim objectName : objectName = "time" . . . DesktopX.Object(objectName).Text = contents 'path' should include the text file name 'objectName' should be your text object And the last one should remain the variable 'objectName

Reply to How Do I Create A Control Panel Shortcut in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Google says most of this stuff is in C:\Windows\system32, such as control panel (%systemroot%\system32\control.exe) But I couldn't find any in there leading directly to System. But Windows Help and Support had a link to System, and viewing the source to the page, revealed this %25systemroot%25\system32\control.exe /name Microsoft.System So, I tried this in DX, and it seemed to work: In the File shortcut field

How many messages do you have? When I had 43 messages in my inbox, it took a minute or so. A couple of factors might affect it: # of messages, internet connection, CPU usage; it probably shouldn't take that long, so you might go ahead and restart the gadget. I'll see if I can work in an abort/retry function.

So, long as you're not logged in as someone else, it will only DL your PMs. Wincustomize uses a universal url for messages: https://forums.wincustomize.com/pm That's the one the gadget uses. Thanks for the feedback everyone. Almost forgot. This will just be for message collection (sorry Jim!) Checking for new messages would make the gadget more complicated than I'd like.

Reply to DesktopX problem in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Hey, cool! That's my Blue NrG recycle bin on the right. (Ah, nostalgia. [e digicons]:')[/e] ) Is that also always on top? The original is not set to that. It's as Redneckdude says. The parent object is the one you need to modify, if modifying the icons isn't working. If all else fails, you could try clearing the cache: LINK

I don't really use any of the more advanced commands, so I've never looked into them. You could start a page/tutorial at the Wincustomize Wiki - LINK - , if you like. Others would be able to update it as well.
