DX Coders, lend me your ears!
Thursday, April 12, 2007 by sViz | Discussion: DesktopX
Hi, guys. I'm working on a widget that is like a code snipper(?). It allows you to compile all the snippets of code you frequently use into a list. When you l-click on an item in that list say "OnScriptEnter" it'll automatically copy the code:
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
End Sub
into system clipboard. So you basically click and paste. I'm always opening up multiple text files where I keep my scripts (or even opening up web pages) and highlighting, copying, pasting, and I thought it would be easier and less cluttered to have a convenient place to grab them from. At the moment all the information in the lists are formatted (rss style) and written to a text file in Local Settings > Temp. I will ultimately make it attached to the widget in the object directory. I can also add codes in the textfile itself and when I load up the widget the list will be compiled with the additional changes, creating a text object for each new item.
Here's where I need your input. There will be three lists. A custom list where you put the ones you've constructed, a standard list with all the basic DX sub procedures and funtions, and a resource list where you put links to tutorials on the web or a file on your computer.
I've already compiled as many codes as I can think of for the DX standard list but can you guys tell me if I've left any out? Also, what DX/scripting resources on the web do you think should be included with the widget?
Please look over the lists and let me know what I should add.
Here's the DX standard list:
OnScriptEnter
OnScriptExit
OnStateChange (can easily be modified to OnStateChanged)
OnMouseEnter
OnMouseLeave
OnShow
OnMove
OnSize
OnDropFiles
OnDrag
OnDragFinish
OnSetFocus
OnKillFocus
OnChar
OnKeyDown
OnLButtonDown
OnRButtonDown
OnLButtonUp
OnRButtonUp
OnLButtonUpEx
OnRButtonUpEx
OnScreenChange
OnWorkAreaChange
Pop Up Menu
DesktopX Form
Font Form (One setup specifically for font options and how to apply them to text objects. Will be asking Vad_M for permission.)
Dialog Box- files (for browsing)
Dialog Box- folders (for browsing)
Widget Preferences (including OnPreferencesChange)
For each elem (just as an enumeration example)
Select Case (I use this alot)
I didn't include any for the ActiveX controls as most come with script wizards but let me know if there are any you feel should be included.
Here's the resource list so far:
DX User's Guide online
DX tutorials on WC
Wincustomize DX forums
Stardock DX forums
Wincustomize
W3Schools VBScript Reference
MSDN VBScript Reference
Thanks.

The DESKTOPX SCRIPT HELPER is up and running. Thanks to all you guys for your help. The widget copies the initialization file to the DX application folder on startup now. I'll probably continue to update it with any modifications in future. So as always suggestion are welcome.

EDIT: Just tried emailing myself and it says the same thing. Looks like another glitch in the system.
ETA: Try the PM system.
