Thanks guys. [quote]I would love to look over this code when its all done to see how your doing the row/col thing its something i have always struggled with in DX.[/quote] I hear you. Once I got multidimensional array's down part it became easier. Looking at some of Skarns' objects is where I learned. Basically you just calculate the position by dividing the object height by the number of variables(rows) in the array. It's going to be released as a widget;so, the code

I don't think you need the timer but, every time you shut down and startup the widget, it may pull the same first value. At least that has been my experience but, I was using a timer on a text object that randomized each character. My work-a-round was a timer that randomized the other timer...if that makes sense. I'm sure there are some better random functions out there and maybe I have one or two in my codebase. Looking forward to your creations. ;)

You'll need the timer because unfortunately randomize isn't that random! ;) To do it without a timer you could save the last image to persist storage and exclude it in the randomize function on startup.

Unless you've disabled the right click menu then the ability to set a global hotkey should be there. If you want to script something then look at Object.RegisterHotkey and Object.UnregisterHotkey under Object Namespace in the DesktopX manual.

Reply to DX: Any way to set child? in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Was going to suggest the parent option last night but, there are a few things I've encountered using it. If your cloned object isn't contained and you want to make it a contained child then you must remember to move it to within the dimensions of the container.

Nice read Brad just one thing. I don't see why you need to continue to explain yourself? We all make judgments rather quickly but, anyone with a level of maturity is going to dig a little deeper before coming to a conclusion on who someone really is and what they know. Admittedly my initial opinion was that this guys' really full of himself but, after reading some of your articles and older posts that opinion changed. Now I view you as a confident, articulate and knowledgeable

If the answer is yes, then off the top of my head with out looking at the script this should work. Will have a look at it when I get a chance or need a break from this birthday list widget.

Another update. To Do: - Fix Selector & Highlight issues - Option to use registry or settings file - Skinning - Other? FYI this has more code than my reflector gadget. Hopefully that gives you an idea why it seems to be moving slowly.

Oops, not a function but, a step counter of sorts. Can't remember where I put it but, it actually would be slower in this situation. Used it for animation control. If memory serves correctly the meat of it was this: [code="vbscript"] Step 1 Object.SetPicture="1.png" Object.Sleep 1000 Step 2 Object.SetPicture="2.png" Object.Sleep 5000 [/code] I think I opted to not use this but, replaced with a couple of timers and array's. One array for images an

This is easily doable. I'd use a text object for the quote then just randomize the font type, size and colour. Unfortunately, at the moment I'm busy with another widget but, if I get some time I'll whip something up. Some suggestions if anyone else thinks of doing this. Obviously a timer and persist storage with two arrays. One to list used wallpaper's and the other to list available. The reset when the second array is empty?

Reply to Widget Request in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

You're welcome. ;) No, it's just a portion of a random list of famous people. Anyone I know who get's close to 100 does a stupid thing and starts listening to their doctor's. Update: May 9/08 Just a little update to let you know it's still being worked on. Took a break from major scripting to double check automatic sizing. Should be easy to skin by just replacing images, no changes to the script. [img]http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/3607/btupdategi

Late Sunday, I breakd it. Not because of DX or the script persay but, cloning 200 text objects for 100 records brought it down. Have switched over to three text columns, just complicates some other features. Hopefully you will be able to enable/disable the age and/or birth date column. The birth date for sure. Oh, it's sizable now and will be pageable as in goes up or down a page of names at a time. Quick Pic: [img]http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/345/broke

Messy but, it might be faster. Here's one adapted for Top Flipping. You get another animation if you set your object width/height to "maintain aspect ratio".

Reply to Object States in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

Just tried a sub and it's do-able...messy but, doable. It would be nice if they added a "*.Name" namespace for states. Here's what I did. On a simple image object I created five states named "state1"(up to 5). Then I looped through them to verify if they existed. Obviously, you must likely would put this data into an array after running the sub or function. [code="vbscript"]Sub Object_OnScriptEnter Call IterateStates End Sub Sub IterateStates sActiveState=Ob

Nice one Skarn! Here's the code to use what I posted above with Skarn's flip script.

Update, warts and all. The goal is to make this simple to skin by merely replacing the images. All adjustments should be made automatically by the script Features Implemented: - Titles, List and Tooltip have separate text/font settings - Simple ascending/descending sort by name or age. Click on column title. - Height is resized automatically. - Width is sizeable via a sizing control. - Enable/Disable Tooltip option To Do: - Tooltip Date Form

Reply to Widget Request in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Thanks guys. :D It's definitely going in the gallery just like the Easy Button. Have some more preferences coding and maybe some additional sort options for display. Right now it sorts by name but, will see about adding a sort by age and by birth date. Also, a reverse sort for those. Actually this may have solved an issue with a CSV Parser object that got rejected a while back. And here I thought it was just Zubaz! :p

Reply to WScript Object in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

It does pull the folder icon out of the shell32.dll. I noticed some errors but, have been using it mostly with shortcuts and it seems to work most of the time. Noticed the issue with exe's. Older conventional app's it works fine. Somewhere in my codebase is another icon script but, I'm positive it's just for standard shell icons. It's obviously not simple because even a regular DX container doesn't get all the icons.
