Reply to [HELP] World Clock code in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

The thing is that not everyone use daylight setting. So how would people know what city to pick in order to get what's right for them, unless they live in that city. Would it work if you simply had a checkbox to indicate whether to use daylight saving or not. Then add that to you calculation. Another thing, isn't GMT affected by daylight saving time? So if you use GMT as a base, won't all ther other times be adjusted similary as as well?</font

Yes, the sleep command will halt all operation in your Dx enviroment if I am not incorrect. If you were to keep the existing code with the sleep command, I think you can drop the second sleep command you got there. Can't see that it has any use. If you go for the timer solution, I think this should work: Sub Object_OnLButtonUp(x, y, dragged) If Not dragged Then Set WshShell = Wscript.Createobjec

Reply to Lightsaber for CursorXP in New Releases WinCustomize Forums

Looks very nice. I don't have CursorXP nor have that big interest in StarWars, but lightsabres are allways cool. I let some friends of mine that are SW addicts know about this cursor. I'm sure they will love it.

Just another thought, usually events trigger when the mouse button is released. So the code for executing the code on mouse click would be Sub Object_OnLButtonUp(x, y, dragged) If Not dragged Then 'Your code here End if <font color="blue"

Same thing with Wscript.Sleep 100 , think it should be Sleep 100 . Without the if state = line it will work as I pass over the button but I really need it to work on mouse down. Doesn't the Wscript.
