Look over this new code: [code="vbscript"] Dim Quote(1000), IniCnt Sub Object_OnScriptEnter object.Text = "" baseDir = "D:\" fn = baseDir & "Quotes.txt" TextList = System.SimpleRead(fn, 1) Lines = Split(TextList, Chr(10)) IniCnt = 0 For A = UBound(Lines) To LBound(Lines) Step -1 IniCnt = IniCnt + 1 Quote(IniCnt) = Lines(A) l = len(Quote(IniCnt)) Quote(IniCnt) = left(Quote(IniCnt),l-1) ' object.Text = object.
As a simple start: Read a txt file and put into an array: [code="vbscript"] Dim Quote(1000) Sub Object_OnScriptEnter object.Text = "" baseDir = "D:\" fn = baseDir & "Quotes.txt" TextList = System.SimpleRead(fn, 1) Lines = Split(TextList, Chr(10)) IniCnt = 0 For A = UBound(Lines) To LBound(Lines) Step -1 IniCnt = IniCnt + 1 Quote(IniCnt) = Lines(A) l = len(Quote(IniCnt)) Quote(IniCnt) = left(Quote(IniCnt),l
Thanks all, this was a lot of fun, im sure people are getting over row-mon-duh'd today.. LOL [quote]I have many ways to abuse your talents[/quote] IR, if only you were a hott looking 22 year old BABE.. but alas, LOL Send me stuff, I am in need of some new ideas. Thanks again Zu for including me on this, it was fun.
i did the same thing on the skincast.. i should never assume.. sorry sViz!
basic steps. 1 write INI/TXT file (or find an RSS Feed) with quotes you want to use 2 read these into the system into an array 3 pick a random one for whatever interval (timer) you want to use 4 set the items .TEXT to the string thats about it
Expect more RomanDA-related goodness later this morning too ... No scarier words have EVER been typed by you.. EVER!
Im not sure.. i really thought there was one. It wouldnt be too hard. Let me look at it later tonight (headed out to a plant).
Cool.. cant wait to see. sounds like something we need to add to the DesktopX.info Site!
Not that i have seen.. its like there is a way from the standard menu to set the z-order to on-top, but not in the code. Can we get a list of things for the next release???
i thought there was one of these out there that read in an ini file and randomly showed the quote.
Its so funny that people want us to help them STEAL from the very company that supports this web site! Amazing! Next time try the zarez site you got the crack from.. see how helpful THEY are!
you might want to look thru these and see if there is anything that can help. [link="https://www.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?aid=145066"]WWW Link[/link]
There are a lot of tutorials and a lot of vb scripts/java scripts out there.. try using this little known thing called GOOGLE.. it can show you results from all over the world. If you look above people have given you links to things for DX to do object.rotation. If you want something to rotate around another object, you could make a transparent circle that is the diameter of the circle you want to rotate around, then place the planet or whatever at the outside edge of this object an
i dont know where your going to find a DesktopX script ready made for this. I would do some VBScript or Javascript searches and see what is out there.. DX uses both of these languages.
LOL.. no problems.
there are worse nicks... By DoctorNick, Hello qrush - why not Tom Sawyer?
wow.. gutter anyone?
[quote]adn my friendship with him.[/quote] This was all it took??? FINE BFF... Hey Spence .. looking for a new BFF?
hey all.. we are working on some of these issues. SirSmiley, can you email me or Tom to let us know the RIGHT email address? I think we should be able to keep the user names (not 100% sure, will see what i can do). Please email me with anything important.
wow man... you do some cool stuff! putting me to shame.. LOL
Wow bud.. not something i would be brave enough to do. Looks wild. I have thought that once i got my black belt i would do something but i just dont know, im too old now. LOL
did you look over [link="https://www.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?aid=145066"]WWW Link[/link]? I tried hard to make tutorials that covered a LOT of ground.
It could be how kaspersky takes over the pop3 account. I think it sets ALL the pop3 stuff to 127.0.0.1 i dont know.. you would have to check with them.
Kaspersky shuts down "scripting" and i know first hand that it kills DX. you have to go into Kaspersky and turn off script blocking.
