Reply to What's your ideal DesktopX script editor? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

I have an 'auto-complete list' and basic function 'help tooltip' mechanisms working nicely. The current code highlighting is just the default Visual Basic support in the control, but adding more won't be very hard at all. The 'window' is just a bunch of DesktopX objects and graphics, no animations but the buttons etc. all do what they are supposed to. Interestingly the ActiveX control I've used has many functions I can't make use of as

Did anyone ever like http://www.virtualplastic.net/ ? It used to be one of my faves - still up, but no activity - but it was a very interesting read (regarding all it's win9x customization info) at the time.

Cool Liz! You're taken care of then :-)

Reply to What's your ideal DesktopX script editor? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

At the moment I think the hardest thing for me to do will be 'code block collapsing' that notepad++ does. Notepad++ would have been my first choice for making a customized editor - but I'm not clever enough to work out how to do it.. This will be better though because I can deliberately interact with the theme directory and the objects within DesktopX as the editor will run as a desktopX object itself :-) Gives me some ideas which would have been too difficult or impo

What's your ideal DesktopX script editor? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

DesktopX Developers You might be perfectly happy with the one built into DesktopX, but I'm going to have a go at making my own anyway. Any suggestions for features of what your ideal DX script editor would have?

Codemax Codesense control used in DesktopX in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Am I right? Would anyone from Stardock be willing to send me any documentation they may have or have worked out and I'll use the freeware version (which you may be using anyway) of the control to make a code editor for DesktopX with extra features if I can.

Reply to Solution to Norton deleting DX gadgets and widgets in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

Yes, bit tricky because of how DesktopX behaves seems it can be picked up as a 'bad egg'. It would be nice if it didn't get picked up by Norton though - lots of people do use Norton's bloatware.

Reply to Any DesktopX news? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

I'm pretty happy with it RND ;-) Most times it's what I'm doing to it that makes it unstable for me. But yes...not the best descriptive word. I should have perhaps said '...good to work with something consistent ...'. Consistently broken maybe? ;-P

Reply to Any DesktopX news? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Cool, because what I am doing exploits some behaviours of DesktopX. If they change in the future I'll just adapt, but good to work with something stable (not that I don't want DesktopX to get more work done on it!) :-) Thanks Zubaz

search any WC gallery URL method in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I may be dumb, but I couldn't see how to search *just* the DesktopX Object gallery as it doesn't appear in the 'featured galleries' list when you use the search box/options. So I looked at the URL wincustomize uses to search other galleries and found I could just tweak the URL to limit the search to DesktopX objects. template: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/[gallery name]/search/[search word] Replace the [gallery name] and [search word] with what
