Vbscript provides much more powerful access to the desktop computer and file system, and easily incorporates propietary MS abilities, like graphical image filters. Stuff that JScript can't access?

Surely My Computer would be a pint of Guinness! mmmm Guinness.... Can't wait!
If someone has "show hidden folders" turned on, and packages their skin manually, the file will have the desktop .ini and thumbs db file zipped up inside the skin file. Your AV prog is probably picking that up. Eh, any why should AV programs e bothered about those files? Or is it hidden files in general?
've never scripted a thing. I don't even know if I have VBscript. Do I have to download it? These TUTs are so cool and I'd love to learn how. But gots to have the tools first. These tutorials are for VBScript within DesktopX. However, if you want to learn just VBScript then head over to http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/default.asp. They got loads of other good tutorials there as well. VBScript and JScript is part of the Windows Script engine whi
How is it easier to make a phone call than just swipe a card? If it where implemented in every shop then you wouldn't need to bring your wallet. Just your mobile phone.
How do you prevent apps from stealing the focus of the forground window on Vista? I searched for it and all the articles all refer to the same registry key that has to be changed. Which I have, but it doesn't work. Windows still steals focus which is very annoying when I'm typing something. Anyone managed to get this working?
Sounds great! Anything that will allow me to have less cards in my wallet.
It's unusable because there isn't good enough third party support. But the OS has to be first in line. No good if third parties want to go 64bit but the OS won't.
Rather bothers me that Vista is being pushed so far ahead of adequate support from most 3d party software\hardware vendors. I think it's a good thing that the OS is pushing head and not lagging behind here. Getting the OS to support it is the first step.
I'd love to use 64bit Vista as I use really memory hungry apps and such. But until better third party support has been established, I'm sticking with 32bit.
Maybe this will help; In Firefox: View - Page Style - No Style You'll then see the page completely unstyled. See if you can get a print from there.
Unless someone added an executable into the skin file then there is no way a skin file contains a virus.
By the way, I think the docs are wrong. You cant access Desktopx.MsgBox . But if you try Script.MsgBox then that should work. The docs doesn't say anything about the Script namespace.
I think one on timers would be good. Seem to be quite a few DX questions which realted to that in some way.
Wow, you are really turning out those tutorials in a fast pace. Good work. p.s. minor typo in the sub-heading.
I think something like this might work: Sub Object_OnScriptEnter Dim Alarm = "8:30:00 PM" 'Define alarm time Dim Seconds = DateDiff(Now, Alarm) 'Returns number of second until the alarm goes of Object.SetTimer 1, Seconds * 1000 'Convert to milliseconds End Sub Sub Object_OnTimer1 Set objPlayer = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX") objPlayer.OpenPlayer("C:\path\to\some\file.mp3") Sub
Added result = Desktopx.MsgBox(msg, flags, title, ownerName). This msgbox function let you get control of z-order, by passing the name of the owner object. Also, the msgbox thread will reply synchronously.
Updating Java should not affect scripts. Java and Javascript is two completely different thing.
Aye! Been longing fot that myself. Being able to join that competition with DX powered gadgets would be great!
yes, I think that's the one
he functionality is there, but I dont know how to register hotkeys... what are the codes for the keys? Yes, the docs say HOW to do it, but I dont know how to figure out what each key's code is. Yes, this is one of the few things the docs need to elaborate on.
There is a widget application for Linux. I know I played around with a beta about a year ago in Ubuntu. Don't remember the name right now. I'll see if I can find it again.
Cloning can be dangerous, one wrong move and you end up with a ton of garbage on the screen. Yea, evil mutations.
Just one gotcha about cloning. Currently, in DesktopX, if you clone and object and it's related object, it will include any object which has the same "Widget" property. So if you import a widget and want to clone one object and it's children then you got to make sure to clear the Widget property first, otherwise you end up cloning the whole widget. I notified Stardock about this and hopefully this behaviour will change in coming releases.
