Frogboy has his finger on the pulse with each of his responses. I think overall our internet experience is in fact dominated by the Anglo culture, its just being an egalitarian group they don't go around blowing their own [tribal] trumpet. Just look at the modern world around you, from the jet engine to penicillin, mostly invented/discovered by someone British or American of British descent (you might not be alive today without some of these) yet we don't feel the need to tell everyone

Reply to When create script desktop builder crashes in DesktopX Stardock Forums

I use Kaspersky Antivirus 6 and have no problems with DX, however I do have to re-install script 5.6 after every reboot. I would advise taking a look at any activeX controls that may be loaded at the same time as DX. I experienced some problems with that until the proverbial penny dropped.

This sounds fantastic. Lets face it, in this market NOBODY can afford to stand still. Personally I've had major problems with Win FX, I tried the beta and I had to go to recovery console to get back. I've uninstalled for now but am awaiting the full release. Agree with points on IP too. Being a professional developer I do understand how hard it is to develop software which will work for everyone with such a diversity of hardware and software environments out there. On top of th

Reply to Media Players in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Hi Raven, First create a back-plate for the scrollable area. This should be either black or transparent and placed in the area you want the scrolling text to appear, place it in the area you want and make it a child of the object you already have. Then create a text object for your scrolling media information. Place it over the back-plate you just created, make the background transparent and make it a child of the back-plate object. Now when you have a new media item t

Reply to One More To go... in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

OK, I've got some things that have me scratching my head. Maybe its something simple I've missed. How to create independent clone widgets, that is when each widget has multiple objects that interact with one-another by name. When you make a clone (of the whole widget) it interacts with objects in the original widget. Yes you can use Object.Parent etc but what if the component objects are not parent/children? Then what about Gadgets? How can you tell if another instance of the c

Reply to Cloning in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

You're right about the typo and not needing the parent and group being set in the script, however that hasn't resolved my problem. The good news is that I have found a workaround. By creating the clones in the outer-most object I can intercept the onmouseover messages using the *Ex form and determine the sender child object in an IF block. Not as clean as I'd like but it works. Thanks for your help though SirSmiley.

Reply to Cloning in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

The OnMouseEnter only references that object. So they are all independent objects that do not reference each other but are grouped (for movement) and have a third-party parent who does all the cloning. Interestingly the object they are all cloned from reacts fine to the mouse events. ?

Cloning in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Hi, I have a script which clones an object in a loop a number of times, everything is fine except the original object contains a small script which reacts to mouse-enter events. However the cloned objects do not inherit the script. Any ideas how to do this or what I'm doing wrong? Help much appreciated. - Wolfie

That has been made clear Island, I was wondering, seeing as it has been anounced that version 4.0 will be part of OD 2008 what ideas were being mooted for that? If its still up in the air can I vote for scripting support for a "proper" language like c# or Java? It could use support for more controlled threading.
