Easy button
I am very picky
Wednesday, March 7, 2007 by fishpen0 | Discussion: Widget talk
i am looking for a very realistic and possible 3D appearing easy button. Obviously when clicked it will say "that was easy" just the same as the store bought one. and it will look as if it were pressed in. there should also be a customizable right click sound also. It should have at least 2 size options and also have the option to link it to a folder/file.

SirSmiley can post it if he wants to. He will be the first one with the final copy I assume.

Latest nightly. I think this is done?
Get it at sendspace
Drop file or folder on the button to create the shortcut. Sound file(s) are attached but not embedded. By default I pointed these to hard drive eg. c:\easybutton.mp3. Select sound file you wish to use in widget under preference tab in properties.

Of course. Just wanted to make sure it's done. Thanks for the comments on the coding but, other than preference dialog and a few tweaks I just used Roman's Resize Script & I believe sViz's folder/file browsing scripts. If everyone's okay with it I'll put it up both here & at dA.
vStyler, if you have a dA account let me know because I'll link to it in addition to your Wincustomize site.

post it in as many places as you'd like. I thank you for your commendable service. There is just one issue where the right click does not make the button push down, but I don't mind, so don't bother fixing it unless you want to. I thank you al for your hard work at making this idea a reality.

That was never mentioned just a right click sound.
drag & drop on the button.

cool, thanks. And you really don't need to do anything about the right click.

Uploaded to deviantart & submitted both to objects and widgets gallery. I'll remove the sendspace link when it's out of moderation.

I have downloaded this and was looking it over, found a few things that you might want to "update".
One of the issues was with the button being pressed when you dragged it. To solve this you use a little different call to the buttons.
Old:
Sub Object_OnLButtonUpEx(x,y,
DesktopX.Object("easy.button.base").SetTimer 100,10
'Calls the sound effect from base object
On Error Resume Next
Set Sh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Sh.Run (Chr(34)& FilePath & Chr(34))
Set Sh = Nothing
end sub
New:
Function Object_OnLButtonUpEx(obj,x,y,dragged) '<== Shortcut Buttons (right click)
If Not dragged Then
DesktopX.Object("easy.button.base").SetTimer 100,10
'Calls the sound effect from base object
On Error Resume Next
Set Sh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Sh.Run (Chr(34)& FilePath & Chr(34))
Set Sh = Nothing
end if
end function
This stops the button from being activated when you are dragging things around.
Also, I have a little different way of doing sounds, I will have to work on this a little and show you what i did. It embeds the sound into the widget and this way you dont need to tell it where they are etc.
I will work on that a little later, im sitting at the pool at the hotel in Tampa, and its too nice to be on the laptop.. LOL.. (80's and sunny)
Hope no one minds me making suggestions on this.

I have a question.. do you want it to make the CLICK sound or the "THAT WAS EASY" when the button is pressed? The "REAL" one we have in the office just says "THAT WAS EASY".

RomanDA thanks for that. I had it originally set like that running from the button not the base but, wrote the code quick in the base...nice catch thanks.
The reason for not embedding was more of a personal preference to allow people to customize the sounds for example mine makes a fart at the moment.
I'm also thinking about cleaning up the resize script to make it more square.
