I have found that the only way i can make any "real" money with DX is by creating gadgets for a specific customer. For example, I have worked for a Advertizing agency on 4 different gadgets that they used in a sales campagine for their customers, and with just 1 of these I have made more than EVERY sale of EVERY gadget i have sold on my own site ( http://www.commercialgadgets.com ) and on WC. If i could find about 3 more of these

I think the biggest question here is... what will help SD sell more copies of DX and DX PRO?

[quote]Most of us would rather see some new creativity within DesktopX, rather than a rehash of the same old objects as we've had (in the main) for the last 5 years. If it requires a more "simplistic" interface to bring some new blood and new ideas into the DesktopX community then I'm all for it. [/quote] I agree, there has been so little major new features in the past 3+ years.. Also, fixing some of the main bitches should be #1, then New features. There

[quote]Many of us likes use the DesktopX Form to create simple Toolbox or Control Panel for their widgets/gadgets. No doubt - this is very useful addition to DesktopX. But there is one unpleasant problem. We don't have any chances to edit the size of its elements (like TextBox, Combolist, etc..). As well to change their position inside the Form and the distance between each of them. As a result - the final product looks like unfinished... So please add the ability to edit (custo

There seems to be a lot of info hiding in that class... look over this code: [code="vbscript"]Sub Object_OnScriptEnter strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\wmi") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From BatteryStatus Where Voltage > 0") For Each objItem In colItems object.tex

Reply to DesktopX Flip Clock in DesktopX Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

I think the BEST way to do this is to make a single animated GIF that "flips" from 0 to 9 (and then to 0 again) and then you could have to use dx to move teh animation 1 "step" at a time from the 0 to the 1 (this could be 10 "steps") Look over this: https://forums.wincustomize.com/?postid=336303 You could then make a function to go from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 etc via script, the hardest part of this is making the animated gif, but someone might have som

DX has had a lot of activity then dropped down, then back up. I know my own issues have had little to do with DX itself and more with the lack of time i have to spend on anything, that and ideas. I really just dont have anything cool thats pushing my buttons, i like to work on things that someone "wants", ie the last Process Monitor that Zu wanted, it was cool, and something i had never even thought of, i love that stuff. I enjoy helping all of you with your script problems, when i can, i

Reply to Is a Question a Tutorial?? in DesktopX Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

im not a fan of the wiki mainly because i dont know how to use it right, and it does not show up in the fashion that this forum does here on WC, making it less usefull to noobs and experienced users alike, i never think to look on it. I come here and check the DexktopX forums for questions (i might be able to help with) etc. I agree that its hard to find the other forum if you do not know where to look for it, maybe if the right side menu could show "related" forums?

Reply to Is a Question a Tutorial?? in DesktopX Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

Zu is mi hereohh I understand that when these are solved it helps people learn, but that can happen in the other forum. The problem with a sticky list of tutorials is that i think thats what this whole forum was designed for, so people would have 1 location to find the tutorials and one to post q's etc.

Is a Question a Tutorial?? in DesktopX Tutorials WinCustomize Forums

Ok.. this has been kind of bugging me for a while. Why are people posting "questions" to the TURORIALS forums? I was under the impression that every product has a forum for questions ie: OS Customization -> DesktopX Where questions, comments, etc could be posted, but i see more and more people posting these (sometimes the SAME ) questions in the DesktopX Tutorials forum. My problem with this is that the Actual Tutorials are being pushed way d

Reply to Object Rotation...Wonky in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

try making a MASTER object, soemthing like a box, and put the object you want to rotate in it, then see if the rotation works, make the object a CHILD of the master. Who knows. Just tried this and it seems to work.. make sure the rotating object is set to CENTER/CENTER...

Reply to Z-Order Issue in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Make a MASTER object out of something that can then be set to a transparancy = 0 so it doesnt show up. Then make ALL the other objects CHILD objects of this master, then what your trying to do will work, or should. Its something i have made a habit of doing, making this "master" object thats just a big box, thats the size that fits all of the child objects, then keep all the scripts in this as well, so that makes it easier to make updates, etc. Just my .02
