Hi, I need to develop a widget that will show records from a database. I'm ok with getting the data out of the database and into the widget. What I'm wondering about is how I go about formatting the text for display. I may need to display something like: column1 column2 column3 column4......etc with all the columns lined up nicely. At the moment the only way I can think of making this wo
Just buy DesktopX Professional to save your widgets as a stand-alone gadgets... Yes, already got a registered copy. I've changed my widget from being in the ObjectBar to being a standalone widget. My client found ObjectBar and DesktopX and thought it would be good to use. Hmmm... Do you want ask us on how to hack ObjectBar? No. My client wants to silently install applications from a s
Thanks for the info sViz. I think Zubaz is right about my needing a custom installer. The project this is all part of involves installing applications on a user's PC. This is done through a windows service that downloads applications from a web service. The applications are installed silently. Currently I download and run widget executable through the windows service. I've hit a snag in that the windows service runs under LOCAL SYSTEM so as the logged in user you don't
Hi, I've developed a stand-alone widget. I need it to always startup when windows starts. I've seen that in the widget preferences there is the "Run automatically when Windows starts", but the user needs to click this option to activate it. Is there a way to make this option on by default when creating or exporting a widget? Thanks Mark
Thanks sViz, I was hoping it was that simple. I'll give it a try next week as I'm off work for the rest of this week. It is an interesting widget but as always there's a tight budget and I'm out of time. Takes the fun out of it [e digicons]8C[/e] Mark
Hi SViz, I need some more information. Is it possible for the child object to call a parent object script function from a child object? Some background on what I'm trying to achieve...... My widget displays information from some medical systems. As the user views a patient in one system, I get an patient id number from the registry and check to see if the patient exists in another system through a web service. I do all this checking outside of the widget in a COM dll a
Thanks heaps sViz, I'll download it and let you know I go. Mark
Hi Zubaz, If it's not possible with OB could you tell me how to do it with DX? Thanks Mark
Hi, I've developed a gadget/widget for a client. It displays some information from a web service. A bit of text and an image that changes depending on the data retrieved from the webservice. We use the widget in an ObjectBar which sits on the right-hand edge of the screen as a sidebar. All fine so far. However, in a demonstration today the client asked if we could auto-hide the ObjectBar, but make it slide out when the data displayed in the widget changed.<br
