Why would you want the main object to close out but not the subobjects? It can be done, but I just wondered if that's practical. Or do you mean 'hide' not close? ETA: if they are all part of the same gadget, then closing the gadget will close all the subobjects therein.
I think this might work for you, aspa. Be sure static is unchecked, and scripted is checked in the animation tab. Also, change the 'numofFrames' variable to your total amount of frames. [code="vbscript"] Dim t, numofFrames Sub Object_OnScriptEnter 'Set timer, current frame and variables object.settimer 1,100 object.currentframe = 0 t = 0 numofFrames = 50 End Sub Sub Object_OnTimer1 'If animation reaches the end, kill timer If
a) DX only does that when it is configured to hide desktop icons. Switch to DX Builder, r-click on the systray icon, select configure and in the 'desktop' tab uncheck hide desktop icons.....if that's what you want. b)By keypress, do you mean like the OnChar, OnKeyDown functions here: LINK . With those, the object would have to be in focus before it can recognize keystrokes.
For question # 1. Your image should have 3 parts: base image (background), normal button, selected button. (In that order) For me, it usually helps if all three parts are of equal length. Also, for the life of me I can't get anything but a bitmap to work. Now, when you first set the object type to taskbar make sure all your settings are set the way you want it. *If you're going to use
I had a go at your problem and I worked something out. Let me make sure the setup is correct. toggle 1- toggles group 1 toggle 2- toggles group 2 toggle 3- toggles group 3 toggle 1,2,3 make up group 4 Master toggle, toggles group 4. Via scripting it also toggles groups 1,2,3 if any are visible, and restores everything to their previous visibilty (true or false). Master toggle is parent of toggle 1,2,3. This script goes in the master toggle:<br/
If you gave the gadget a shadow in DX Builder it will be there when you export, regardless of the shadow settings in gadget properties. As for z-order, how many objects make up this gadget? Did you set all of them to always on top before exporting?
Can't be done in DX. You've got to do it in your graphics program first.
why are there such a limited amount of gadgets available for the desktop at this point. I think maybe because there aren't that many really original ideas to make a gadget out of. I think a gadget should be something uniquely inventive, very practical, and of course, extremely useful. How many object/widget/gadget ideas qualify for that? RomanDA and others have produced some highly qualified works, IMO, but what other ideas are there and how many people
Hi! I've got 2 scripts here. For this widget you simply drag and drop either a single image, or a folder (if the folder has sub-folders it will get pics from there too). The coding is a bit advanced but if you want to know more I created a slideshow tutorial a while back. Here's a link (scroll down for all three parts)-- sViz articles 1. Create an object and set the size to 200 x 200 (or whatever, just make sure the size is s
Hi bppphantom, thanks for trying out Clear Agenda. I've been trying to post a response with instructions but the forums won't take my code so you can download text file containing my response here-- Download Link (you'll need to turn your popup blockers off)
Okay so there's an object (let's call it object2) that has no visiblity because of the parent. You have a button that makes "object2" visible when you click the button. But you'd like to set focus on "object2" via script? How about using object.setfocus You can insert a script like this in the button: Sub Object_OnLButtonUp(x,y,d) If Not d Then desktopx.Object("object2").visible = True desktopx.Object("object2").setfocus End If End Sub
Insert this script into your object. Function Object_OnLButtonUp(x,y,dragged) If not dragged Then On Error Resume Next Set Sh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Sh.Run (Chr(34)& "" & Chr(34)) Set Sh = Nothing End If End Function
You can't change tool tip settings but you can change the color of labels. Just go to the object's Properties > Relation. At the bottom there should be two color buttons "Label color" and "Selected"-- that is, the color of the label when unselected or selected. You will get a prompt when you click on it asking if you want to use global colors. Choose no and you will be presented with the Color Chooser window. Choose your colors and you're done. <img src="smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmidd
I had a look at the widget and the sites. To my understanding some feeds are formatted to handle foreign characters and symbols, others aren't. If you take a look at the script for the widget you'll find a series of code that look like this: rssdata = Replace(rssdata, "'", "'") This is where you would replace the gibberish with the correct characters. Unfortunately there's no way to type squares, and even if you could there would be no way to tell if that square is act
I think it has to do with how special characters are written in code For instance, I found that the dash character (-) appears as & #045; on my feeds. A little scripting can replace common coding errors like that with the actual characters If I know which widget you're using I could crack it open and see if the problem can be fixed in the script. Also what's the url for the site are you trying to get feeds from?
Haven't uploaded it yet. Still making some modifications.
Well, there you go! You could import that and see if it can be tweaked so you can personally use it without iTunes. However, seeing as how _Martin_ is extremely advanced in scripting I doubt I'd be able to understand the nuts and bolts of the widget.
I'm over a year late, and I doubt this thread is being watched anymore but this is a good idea. There are some songs that I listen to that I just can't quite hear what they're saying. You'd have to get reliable lyrics from somewhere, as I don't think there is any way to get them from the song itself. Unless of course you listen to it over and over until you figure it out and then type them in your self. Is that what you meant? The user puts in the lyrics for themselves? This, I think, is feasabl
Might be a little late but, I don't think you need to use system.FileOpenDialog to set the sound of another object. Just put the full path to the music you want. The state, however, must be renamed if your using a default state. For some reason I couldn't set the sound by script for mouse over, mouse away, etc. desktopx.Object("ObjectName").States("StateName").sound = "C:\My Music\mysong.mp3"
I don't know how to scroll the artist/song name but, I suspect that it will have to be scripted in. The only time you can't click on OK is when you haven't set both of you're images. I don't know why it would be disabled otherwise. Make sure you haven't got your pictures mixed up. If the slider button (Image) is bigger than the slider bar (Background), the OK button will be disabled. Other than that
Well, I've never seriously made a DXPlayer but I fiddled around. What kind of problems? This is just a run down on setting up a slider volume bar. 1.In properties click on "Add" in additional abilites 2.Choose DX Player 3. Select the newly added plugin in the list and click on "Configure" 4.In the drop down under "Default" choose Fader/Slider 5.In the list choose Volume(sli) 6.Under the list click on the "Image" button You'll need 2 images. One for
I haven't yet found any one place to get scripts but a couple of the regulars here and at WinCustomize started a wiki here-- DESKTOPX WIKI I usually have to google a script I'm looking for.
On the right side of the screen above all the posts, there should be a button-- "Create Post". You can put this script into your minimize button object: Sub Object_OnLButtonUp(x,y,dragged) If not dragged then Widget.Minimize End If
I finally made a scrolling RSS! -Scrolling -Start/stop scrolling on mouse over headline -Fast Forward -Resize
That looks really good! I'd certainly like to see it when it's completed. I was trying to go for a horizontal scroll that displayed only the headlines (because it uses less space) but I'm not that great at scripting.
