Reply to widgets- text input problem in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

There was an instruction on SDC to unload the previous DX before installing DX3. Did you do this? Maybe the ActiveX control didn't install/update properly.

Possibly the plugin was an old one and DX3 is looking for a new one? Just try creating a new object with the analog clock plugin and see if you get one OK.

Reply to Desktop not "sticking" in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

The problem is that MS implements things in a non standard way from my understanding of the issue. Show desktop actually redraws the desktop over the current one so it's a bit of a fudge. DesktopX objects can be created to show the desktop. From memory, if you select Type: System there is a "Show Desktop" in there. Alternatively add script to an object that contains this: Sub Object_OnLButtonUp(x,y,dragged) If dragged = False T

Pro allows creation of widgets which run in their own memory space AND do not require DesktopX present to run Cygnus - just to reinforce PJ's point. I think the key issue is that you are mistaking what is meant by EXE creation. DX Standard which you have as part of ODNT and will always have as part of O

You can do this very easily. Simply use the FileScriptingObject TextStream. For example: Dim FSO Dim textStream Const ForReading = 1 Const ForWriting = 2 Const ForAppending = 8 'Called when the script is executed Sub Object_OnScriptEnter Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set textStream = FSO.OpenTextFile("c:\temp\mytextfile.txt", ForReading, -2) textdata = textS

Another key thing to remember regarding the installation of BootSkin is that if you are preparing to install XP SP2 ensure you disable BootSkin before doing so otherwise the system will get very upset. You can reeenable bootskin after rebooting following the SP2 installation

Reply to WindowBlinds Fall contest nearly over.. in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Just out of interest, it is considered fair play to keep updating your skin date to get it to the top of the WB skins? Whilst I appreciate that these are tweaks I don't think it reasonable to keep updating the date for this reason, especially when GT3 has remained where it is well down the list on the grounds that it is complete and stable!

Reply to If Bush wins, will he listen? in International JoeUser Forums

I still can't believe that people are saying why should Americans care about what other people think. I'm not ... I repeat not ... saying that anyone but the American people should vote for their own president. What I am saying is that the perception of Bush is poor amongst those whom he considers his closest allies. The fact that Britain got dragged into a war is not popular with the British people should not be lost on Bush. You saw what happened to the Spanish support when they were

Personally I think that if something like the CUI became integrated into DX along with "Plugin" scripts so that developers could just call functions rather than cloning existing scripts all the time life would be easier for developers. Please ... no more weather !!!

Reply to If Bush wins, will he listen? in International JoeUser Forums

Don, Just to be crystal clear, I'm not saying that we should have any influence on elections, I'm just demonstating how Bush is perceived beyond the US. I personally don't believe for a second that Bush cares about this fact, but then again Blair doesn't really seem to care what we think either so I'm not unduly concerned!. Whilst I acknowledge that the US is a major power and that the election has global impact, I wonder out of interest whether the average citizen in the US wo

If Bush wins, will he listen? in International JoeUser Forums

Well, obviously the election is about to be decided and Europe will have to deal with either 4 more years of what we know from Bush, or build a new relationship that will apparently take us in a new direction. The fact is that in Europe we don't have an informed view unless we take the take and are sufficiently interested to understand all the U.S. dom
