Not anymore.

Just wanted to says thanks to everyone. Really liking everything. OD Launchpad has made it easy to explore OD 2007, way to go! I will try to post my screenshot for August later when your WEB Lines have a chance to cool off. Yes its been a <img src="http://images.stardock.com/sd_com/smiles/Cool.gif" border=0 ALI

Okay, sorry this took awhile. Try this Link https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopxenterprise/resources.asp You may have to right click and do a file save as to get the documents instead of left clicking for download. The following is a link to the MSDN web search I did for VB Script resources. My first attempt to insert links in a comment so, I hope they work. I think you will need to be registered with MSDN

Hi all, I've checked all available documentation and I can't find the correct syntax for changing the FontSize. I've tried Object.FontSize = 14 and Object.FontSize = "14". Alas, both are rejected. I have documentation on DX Scripting, but FontSize isn't contained there. Any ideas anyone?

Have you tried storing the new picture in persistent storage. That is as Object.LocalStorage or Object.PersistStorage. I believe these properties exist for that very reason, although I haven't worked with them yet, it's what's indicated about them in the documentation. Once your picture is stored in the object you would then set the new (changed) initial image from Object_OnScriptEnter subroutine. I hope that helps.

Hi All, hey rabidrobot, thought I'd kick in my 2 cents (just like there's no cents key on my computer keyboard and there is one on old IBM typewriters) things keep on a changing. I found I had to search a number of different sources before I started tracking down some doco around here. I would provide you with a link to the right page, but I'm not that good yet. In any case, rabidrobot helped me get better documentaion from a DesktopX Enterprise WEB page that was more complete (thanks again r

Hi, I need help I'm trying to download the supporting documentation for DesktopX in particular scripting and everytime I try my Internet Explorer has to close. I've never had trouble downloading before. I have purchased Object Desktop, Object Dock Plus, a WinCustomize Subscription, Galactic Civiliztions II, some premium Fonts and Blinds, so... how about some help with this?

The link you gave me is for an enterprise page and everytime I try to access it (download the doco) my Internet explorer shuts down. I just eliminated all my cookies earlier today. How do I acces this page with the Stardock browser, that might do it.

Hey again, I tink i no watt the problemo is. I don't have DesktopX Enterprise version therefore no Doco. Oh well, How much does it cost to upgrade to Enterprise version? If its not too much I might consider it. I have the version where I can make widgets, but not stand-alone widgets?

I found an example of a Do While statement, basically they look like this: Do While condition statements Loop My other questions remain open though. Thanks for any help you may have.

Okay thanks to rabidrobot (please extinguish all smoking materials I'm writing from a fire hazard zone), my script now works and I can pass text in both directions. The boolean variable IsVisible does works as a surrogate for a visible ActiveX property. I had previously experimented with the edit field object (from Tiggz, I think) but it didn't provide nearly sufficient edit controls and would have been beyond my programming skills to program a flashing cursor, scrolling, line-wrap, etc

Oakie doke. I'll try it. If it works I'll let you know, thanks.

So anyway here goes. I have the following script in my launch button for an ActiveX object that functions as a basic note editor: Dim IsVisible Dim IsState Sub Object_OnScriptEnter IsVisible = False End Sub Sub Object_OnStateChange(state) IsState = state If IsState = "Mouse Down" Then (this needs to be "Mouse down") thx rabidrobot If IsVisible Then DesktopX.Object("PadText").Text = DesktopX.ScriptObject("TextEditor").

I apologise, but I have done my very best to follow your example to the letter. It doesn't work. The only means I have found so far to refer to "MyActiveEditBox" is as control.text from within the control. So far all outside references fail. My one suspect culprit at this point is that I am trying to test whether the edit box is visible or not. Could be the ActiveX control doesn't have a visible property like other DesktopX objects do. Makes it more difficult to work with, oh well.

"A DX coded start button that activates your start panel and a DX menu with the same click. If someone can accomplish this, I got a big thing brewing over here".(Comment #21) Yo, NightTrain I think I can do this one (assuming the DX menu you refer has an Object id, this one is likely doable). I'll let you know, that is, if you're really interested. Ya, I just checked it's doable so long as the DX menu is configured as a Popup "Toggle" on the Relation Properties tab. Both become vi

Okay my request for help still remains. I've tried everything I can think of and there is no way I can find to refer to the "Control.text" as mentioned for ActiveX controls. Text is clearly documented as being a property of the DesktopX Edit Control. Yet, I have found no way to refer to this text from other scripts in other DesktopX Objects, etc. or for that matter from within the script of the Control object. So.. If anyone knows how to have DesktopX.Object("MyTextField").text = Control.text

Oh well, never thought I would be trying scripting like I am, but I might get this yet. Anyway I was following the example in DesktopX 3.2 article when I discovered I don't know how to pass the text from the ActiveX control (DesktopX Edit Control) to my text field that sits as a layer on top of my graphic image. I've tried DesktopX.Object("Mytextfield").text = DesktopX.Object("MyDesktopXEditControl").text, but that passes control codes and no usable text. I've also tried testing the key code

Thanks for response. Found the screen capture docklet. What's your opinion on my other two questions? Do you have problems with using large and extra large fonts? How about my question regarding better themeing for Odject Dock?

Probably not. Where do I find it?

Okay everyone thanks for the help. I'm starting to get it. Although it would be nice to see downloadable complete themes like DesktopX has. I have modified gef's Minimalism and Neomorph my two favorites right now and found it fairly easy to learn. I have found I can download image files and extract them properly s

Okay guys thanks for the advice, but obviously when it comes to Object Dock for me, this software ain't cutting it yet. I will do my best to describe the problem. What I would like to do is have those previously mentioned Object Dock files work as intended. What happens is I follow your instructions to the letter. I place a copy of the download in the background folder and extract it. I now have two new subfolders one named AuraDocks and one named EclizDocks. With ObjectDock loaded I then

I finally purchased Object Dock Plus thinking I was getting something as well organised and as easy to use as DesktopX, but although its probably mostly I'm unfamiliar with it, I just don't get it. My big problem with this software is I can't get things to work. What are themes? Are there downloadable themes? Why aren't they separated out as themes as they are for DesktopX? I've downlaoded EclizDocks, AuraDocks, and TeknidermyDocks and I can't get ObjectDock to even recognize they exist on m

Ordinarily, it would mean I was unobservant, but in this case not as bad as it seems. I clicked store last night and the list of products did not include Object Dock Plus. I saw it today though hmmm...., got it I went to the Store from the WinCustomize page. Anyway today it (Stardock page) says I can get it for a 25% discount since I own Object Desktop. Except when I click the link I am not being given any discount. How do I contact the sysops? Thanks <img src="http://images.stardock.com/

I think I have the free version. I purchased Object Desktop Plus which included developer versions of DesktopX and WindowBlinds. Do I need the plus version? Should I have received the ObjectDock plus with Object Desktop plus?

My first request is to ask for support of large and extra large fonts in Window Blinds 5.0. I use toolbars when using Window Blinds themes and I have noticed that text on Window Blinds generated theme task bars cut-off text. For example, if I've loaded Artwork theme and selected large fonts to keep text readable in higher resolution modes, the bottom of the "p" and "y" in the word "Display" on the windows task bar will be cutoff. This does not occur when running Windows XP without Window Blin
