What is the deal here? The guys from Stardock MUST have read this thread at least at some point. Why no answers? It's been MONTHS! All we want at this point is answers. Are they even working on it? I mean something as simple as "We are aware of the problems and have not forgotten about ObjectBar. We are currently working on 2.0 and we will let you know when there is another beta available" or SOMETHING
Compiled and run as an .exe, but the machine it is running on has DX running (I do have a guinea pig though that does not have DX on it). Brain21
Changed it to widget and widget close. Still does the same thing. Closes the app, but the process is still running. Also created another object, set it to text and the text was "__" (w/o the quotes. Gourped it & everything. Set it to widget & minimize. It does nothing... MUST I have a mouse down or up state added (but maybe not defined) for this to work? I have it set that way for the Widget Close, but as I sai
Not by scripting. Everything in the widget/gadget is in a single group. THe button I simply set to an Object Controller in the properties dialog, set it to "Destroy" and for the object or group I set it to the group.
OK, so I created a Gadget w/ DXPro 3.1 There is an "X" exit button on my app. I set it to an object controller, it sends a Destory message to the group. This works fine. I had someone install the app on their machine (WinXP - no stardock apps). The application itself works fine. However, they click on the Exit button and the app goes away. BUT if you look in taskmanager you still see the .exe app running in your list of proce
OK, I figured it out and got it working. I did the same thing as RabidRobot suggested (though I found out on my own by reading through the scripts for the local weather & Satellite object on WinCustomize). Mine is only slightly different from above. Since I declared a global public variable my DesktopX.ScriptObject(....) has .GlobalVariable (where GlobalVariable is the name I dimmed/decalred elsewhere). Same thing though. Wish I had seen your answer last night! Would ha
OK, tried the CreateForm method, and still got the same thing. I assume that CreateForm also only works for a preferences popup dialog? I need to basically have a drop down box on my dekstop. Is this at all possible? Barring that, what method would I use (or can I do it) to select a file. For example... - I have a button labeled "Select Script". - I have another button labled "Show Script name" - You click on the "Select Script" b
OK, the object of this exercise is to put a dropdown list on the desktop. When I make a selection, other configured objects can access it (the current value). Here is my problem: I create the Combolist box, and there is nothing in it. The list drops down and it is blank. I have a Default.Value set, and other objects can get that default value, but since there is nothing in the list I can't change my selection.
OK, so errr, ummm, I created this script with a timer. When the timer goes off, is triggers a MsgBox. Only problem is that I forgot to stop the timer... You can probably see where this is heading... Start up the object. Every 1/2 seconds a pop up MsgBox appears. After a few seconds of these constantly popping up, DX crashes. So the thing is when I reload the desktop, it reloads this object, & then crashes. D'oh!<br
They way icons work in Object Desktop are a bit annoying. Object Doc can use PNGs and individual icos, and icos extracted from exes. Object Bar can use individual icos, and icons inside of icls, but not pngs. For example there is an icon within a theme that I am using in the icl file. If I want to use that icon for IE on Object Dock I cannot unless there is a png or seperate icon that is the same image. I think that across ALL stardock applications we
OK, running OB 2 preview1 build 715 I was editing some menus, when OB crashed. When I started it back up, in the left-hand side of the basic editor all of the new features are now missing (RSS feeds, etc.). Basically the Basic Editor now has only the features that the 1.65.007 version had. Now in the menus where I have my RSS feeds configged it's just blank, like I configured nothing. Also my IE UR
OK, more info on the skinning... If I select (Top Bar) Change Skin->Use skin from another theme and that theme that I select has MORE THAN ONE SKIN then(!) I can load up any one of the multiple skins. However, if that theme has only 1 skin, I can't load that skin up. Use WB skins still doesn't work. As far as the bar size stuff I set a menu size to min=100, max=100 and it did nothing. Also I just discovered the advanced editor whihc is ONLY accessable be creati
OK, here's the thing... I have been playing with this and thought that it would be pretty easy. It is pretty easy, but I ran into a slight glitch. I created a test app configured like so: 1 background object 2 toggle objects (A & B) 2 display objects (Y & Z) All objects are obviously placed on the background object. The display & toggle objects are just a few random icon-sized jpgs that I picked out to put on a 5"x3" plain
I am buyilding a media server at home, and want to create a DX interface for it. If you've seen XP Media Center or Xbox Media Center, you get the idea, but I don't necessarily want this to be a full screen app. I can create the main interface as a DX desktop and launch stuff from there, but I want to do it a little differently. I want the whole thing to be 1 big DX object(s), rather than an integral part of the DX desktop. THis way I can pu
