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
Works like a charm! Thanks... Brain21
I'm using WshShell.Run and have it set to True. That may keep the script from running, but it still sends the message (configured in the properties dialog) to the other object. Have not played with it yet, haven't had time. So I should be able to do as described above, but since I am using WshShell.Run & True, then I don't really need the sleep statement in there? Brain21
Looks like that might do it. Instead of sending a message in the pinging script, I call a soubroutine from the pinging script. So the flow is in the pinging script perform ping sleep DesktopX.ScriptObject("ResultsBox").RefreshResults THen in the other (resultsbox) object I create the subroutine Sub ResultsRefresh and do the screen refresh there rather than an OnStateChange subroutine which does i
I'm thinking that the problem is not necessarily in the ResultsBox script, but rather the Execute button script that sends the state. If I could send the state via script rather than the properties dialog box, then I could sleep for a period of time before I send it. Otherwise, as soon as the script finishes the state is sent. I don't have an opportunity to actually wait for the file to get written to if necessary when I do it via the properties box
I'm using the windows ping command In the properties box I have only the state Mouse Away When I click on the refresh button it sends the custom state/message "refreshresults" to the ResultsBox Then in the script (for the results box) I have: Sub Object_OnStateChange(State) If State = "RefreshResults" Then Dim ResultsBoxFileString Dim ResultsFSO Dim ResultsText ResultsBoxFileStr
I have an edit control window. I have a button. The button runs a script that say pings a machine in the network. It redirects the output of that command to a text file. Now currently I have a 2nd button. When I click on that it sends a custom state (refreshresults) to the editbox (resultsbox) So I click on one button to execute the script and pipe it to a file. Another button reads the file and displays it in the editbox
Just a thought... Mouse over is your animation (but static?), and maybe 2 frames (first 2 frames are identical). Mouse Down is your animation. More frames (10? 20? 50?), NOT looped, and Forwards Mouse Away is your animation, just like your mouse down, but Backwards Will that do it? -Brain21
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
Bump. ANyone? Bueller? Bueller?
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.
Cool. Editing them in my cache under C:\Documents and Settings did the trick. Thanks! Brain21
If I reboot into safemode, will it load DX and disable all scripts? Brain21
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
OK, heres teh weird thing... I can make the combo box. However, inside there is nothing. I made sure on the properties that everything was visible. I can see the box itself, its just that it's empty. I played with the color scheme to make sure it wasn't something like black text on a black background with black highlighting. (BTW, is there an ole_color to RGB conversion tool out there? I am totally guess when putting in number values f
Cool! Looks like that will do it. Now I just need to find a way to pipe the output (like say for a ping command) to a text box, if possible. I could pipe it to a text file and then read that in, but I would rather do it in realtime if possible. Is it even possible to do this with DX? It seems that with a comboBox I can hard code things in the list, and then add things to the list as well. Am I correct in assuming that if I add something
EDIT: OK, I can get a command to execute. I can click on an object and ping an ip address, so long as I have the IP addr hard-coded. So now I must try to accomplish the following: 1) Be able to write to a (local) file a new IP address. - EDIT:DONE! 2) Read in the file and put the contents EDIT:DONE! (but not the dropdown stuff) in a drop down (list) box (would this be done as an array?) 3) Be able to select that IP addr from the drop d
OK, OB is by far my most used OD app. However, skinning is a pain in the ass (not creating skins, but loading them). Here is the laundry list. Perhaps these can be fixed for the next release, if we ever get one (not holding my breath). 1) I create my own theme. Now I want to skin it with the skin from some other theme. Go to Theme editor>Skin>Change Skin>Use Skin from another theme. It only sees themes that have OBPACKS in the OB direc
What kind of problems did you have with the betas? I'm not sure if you can search by poster on these forums or not. If you can search for posts by brain21 and you will see explained in detail the number of problems I had with the STILL current build of OB. For myself as well, WB is cool & everything, but as far as productivity and c
Geez, it's been almost a month since I last posted in this thread! Anyway, still using 2.0 preview 1 build 715 as before. Again, I am trying to add RSS feeds and OB crashes. WHen it restarts, all of the new stuff listed normally under the Separator under available elements (RSS feeds, etc.) is again gone. Is there going to be a new preview build or something that has this &
