Actually, the KeyDown and KeyUp doesn't return the character code, it returns the code for the key it self. I managed to make my textbox accept the Euro sign. There is two additional variants of the Chr function, ChrB and ChrW. ChrW accepts Unicode values, and everything worked like a charm when I used that. I've fixed the bugs (that I am aware of) with my Textbox object and are uploading it. Should be updated in a couple of days afte

I've mapped the graphic you gave me. The changes are made in red and green. Green values are key values returned by OnChar. Values in square brackets are values returned when Shift is pressed, and curly brackets for AltGr. Red values are the results from KeyDown/KeyUp key values.

Reply to A simple question??? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

I've played around with Visual Basic, Basic some years ago. Then the last couple of years I've learned Javascript and PHP when I'm doing websites. So the scripting part for me is all selftaught. However, what I have found most valuable when learning scripts is the script documentation. It is allways close at hand. You can get the documentation for Windows Script (JScript and VBScript) from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=

I really don't see the point of changing the clock. Just silly. I mean, I get confused if I'm waiting for a bus just around when the time changes. When does the bus actually arrive? *sigh*

Ah, just noticed you had put in the returned key values there. I'll get on with that.

It did work, but Sir Boss just sounded too weird, so I changed it back....I hate when kids call me sir, makes me feel my age even tho I never act it. Heh, I tried Sir my self, but as you said, sounded to weird. I would have liked "Sire" (as in the meaning of #3,#4 and #5 from http://dictionary.reference

My keys are http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/keyboards/kbdno.htm (Note: I couldn't get that site to work in Firefox, had to use IE. The other keys not included in that layout are the same as the english one.) Note that the keys next to the Backspace and Enter button are used to create letters like àáä. Because we got three extra vowels (æ ø å) they keys are shiftet around a bit, so I think we have to use the

1. Yes. Apparently they will. 2. Fast searching will be in Longhorn even though WinFS isn't there yet. (WinFS is more than meta searches) 3. I Agree. 4. Yes yes yes oh yes! ...I mean, I agree... 5. It'd be nice if there was an option to install a "plain" version of Windows and then get components as you please. Like Firefox have done. (Yes, I know Firefox to an OS is a leap, but I still like the idea. Didn't say it w

Show my real name in place of my nick name. in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

Under the Option tab in Account Settings I have ticked "Show my real name in place of my nick name." It does display my name in the forum thread list and such, but on each comment it says "Developer thomassen". The thing is that people tend to refer to me as "Developer thomassen" which I think seem very formal and awkward. Is there no way to have my real name beeing used all the way through? (I tried changing my nick to Thomas or ThomThom or whatev

Reply to How to add or change programs in a theme? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

That theme was designed prior to DX3 where you quite some times had to edit the theme your self. Not sure if that theme has its own built in configuration, but doesn't seem like it by the sound of it. In that case you have to Use "DesktopX Builder" to edit the theme. Unless you are using the "Client" version, "DesktopX Builder" should be in the folder where you got DX installed. You should be able toget to "DesktopX Builder" by rightclicking the DX ico

Something I've noted today: Some forum posts display a negative value for "Replied" in the forum overview. Doesn't seem to affect anything. Just odd to see a post that haven't been posted until some time ahead of time.

You will have to run "DesktopX Builder" to do that and edit the script. Provided you have the Standard or Pro version of DX3. If you have the Client version then you cannot edit the script in any way. In that case, I could parhaps make you a widget with preferences for you to edit such as picture, text and path. I assume it just uses a timer to check if the drive is accessible or not.
