Is there documentation on how to get started making things with SysStats?

from Stardock Forums

Title pretty much says it all. I have looked at the SysStats site, googled it and so on but have found nothing. All I found was some documentation on using C++ to code things for it. But I thought the whole point of it was that you didn't need to know how to code? It looks pretty cool but how do folks know how to start using it to make things?

Thanks.

No one has any ideas? People have to start somehwhere with developing stuff for this. Are people just winging it? It doesn't look like something you can wing.

Guys, guys. :SURPRISED: 

There are more than a few docklets on WCB that use sysstats that surely someone knows something. I have posted at the SysStats board as well and no answer there either. I won't bump continuously but I at least had to bump this one more time.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks for the reply! :) 

I have actually seen and downloaded the SDK but it is the SDK for developing docklets from scratch using C++ and in the Visual Studio 6 environment. Maybe I misunderstand how this thing works. I thought the point of sysstats was to allow non-coders the ability to make dockets without coding. Is that not the case? Did I misunderstand the purpose of it?

Regardless I appreciate the heads up Bichur. :D

Follow up as the edit button seems to be gone.

Found it. I had an older version of SysStats. In the new one (which I got from the SysStats site) there is a system folder that lists all the functions, gives code examples and provides a quick start guide walking you through the dialog. :CONGRAT: 

Now I will learn how to create Docklets and make you guys one! And no.... it won't be one that shows the weather! ^_^ ;)
