How can I control ObjectBar or ObjectDock objects in DXScript?

I have the full Object Desktop suite, and I'd like to be able to use DesktopX DXScript to control ObjectBar and ObjectDock objects. How can I do this? Happy to use WMI or Registry content to locate references, if that's what it takes...

What exaclty are you trying to control?
Objectbar allows you to embed DX objects (like a plugin); objectdock . . . I don't know if it CAN interact with DX.

Specific application is to allow a DXScript script to load/unload or enable/disable a task bar, and additionally to move it around. In this case, the goal is to react to the presence of a secondary monitor by adding a task bar to the bottom of that monitor. When the secondary monitor goes away, I want to remove the second task bar again.


While I can get close to this goal by ignoring ObjectBar and ObjectDock and instead creating a taskbar in DesktopX, the DesktopX bar can't be set to auto-hide or dock on the second monitor (it has to be moved and then left visible). A taskbar that includes tasks, shortcuts, system tray, & etc. would be even more of a pain, especially when I have the perfectly good ObjectBar and ObjectDock that I have purchased from Stardock already.
