my main suggestion to anyone who has a question on things, do 2 mins of research on-line, google, yahoo, ASk, about, whatever you like. It is amazing how much info you can gain from a simple search like "what is ICQ" The TOP result on google for the above search is: Web definitions for ICQ ICQ ("I Seek You") is a program you can download that will let you know when friends and contacts are also online on the Internet. The 2nd listing on that sea

yeah you can do that.. but its result = MsgBox(prompt[, buttons][, title][, helpfile, context]) But when you just want something to show up on the screen as feedback.. thats how you get in trouble. but that is a good idea.

yea, Evil Msgbox Loop of Doom! why isnt there a CTRL+C to kill the script? I have lost more code that way, its why i HATE using them now, i put things into text objects, so that even if there is a loop, who the heck cares. I can still STOP the script. I had spent close to 3 hrs on a gadget, it was doing something stupid "somewhere" so i put in a "msgbox stringhere" into the place where i wanted to see the stringhere var, well cr

ok, its doing what it did to me before.. putting EVERYTHING in the CODE block into 1 line. If i add all the 's at the end of every line (which SUCKS) it looks like: [code="vbscript"] Sub Object_OnMouseEnter Call ShowToolTip("This is my Tool-Tip","Info") End Sub Sub Object_OnMouseLeave Call HideToolTip() End Sub [/code] I put a at the beginning of every line in the CODE block.

Ok, was thinking about this a little and i like the idea of multiple colors for different states/events. [code="vbscript"] '--- Replace the main function with this one: Function ShowToolTip(TextToShow,Style) desktopx.Object("ToolTip_Text").text = TextToShow desktopx.Object("ToolTip_Back").height = desktopx.Object("ToolTip_Text").height + 10 desktopx.Object("ToolTip_Back").width = desktopx.Object("ToolTip_Text").width + 20 tt

I agree 100% on demotion... if people have made it this far, and are that lame, they need to go back and start over. Also, I think that having to "ZIP" everything isnt the best idea. I package some things in self-exe's and some as just the dxpack, or exe so that people dont need to download, unzip, and then run.

maybe a way to "credit" others for their input (like a "credits: " [ ]) where you can put in usernames of people you want to credit for help or work, etc. It would then make a link out to their site. Also, a way to format the description, it would be nice to be able to use LIMITED html bold/underline/bullets, etc. i like the new uploaded, seems to work. Any chance of changing that even if your a journeyman you still need "approval" for updates, but not for initial

Quick Q, I love the formatting above, how did you do that in html?

Reply to Parsing Shortcut using Script in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

no problem. You should see my desktop, its a mess of test text objects, each running its own script trying to find different things. I like it cause i can leave them all out there, different colors, fonts, sizes, just to see what works. I use a lot of TEST text objects when im debugging code, make test1.text test2.text etc.. and put them on the desktop and pass things like "made it this far, var1=.." so i can see what DX is doing.

Did you contact RomanDA or Frogboy ? ROFL.. too funny.. This looks really interesting, i like the rotating circle-menu. It has a lot of potential, but would take a lot of work. You need to be very careful putting "ideas" out there. Im sure there are coders out there that might be interested in a partnership, but be upfront with them if you are wanting to spit profits, etc. never ASSUME anything.

I LOVE this program Total Commander If you EVER used "Norton Commander" in DOS, then you will recognize this one. This thing can copy/move/ftp/batch rename/search/sort/view, hell if i cleaned dishes im sure this would be what id use. I have used it almost every day for over 10 years (back when it was called Windows commander - before the EVIL MS sued them). If you hate Explorer, and how it works, then try this one out. It

I believe just about every version of office has had the built-in ability to save-as the older version, its not Microsoft's fault that the person using 2007 didn't use the tools available to them. I have had 2007 since Beta 1 and i know better then to save the files in the 2007 format when im sending them to others. now.. back to the topic at hand.. what was that again?

I run SD products on my "crap-top" and i do not have a 5 min load time at all. I have not seen any noticeable change in speed with or without it running. Im not sure of the legality of loading it on multiple pc's. I would make sure you have the right SDC version loaded, then uninstall and reinstall to see whats going on. If you uninstall and the boot-up speeds up i would make sure you have all the current versions downloaded.
