Command line arguments?
Monday, September 1, 2008 by SpeckledJim | Discussion: DesktopX
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to access command line parameters in my gadgets (have DesktopX Pro v3.2), but so far have come up completely empty handed. Since this is such a basic feature, I'm a bit stunned that there seems to be no info about that and it might not even be implemented. I'm thankful for any input on this. I know there are ways around that (like putting parameters into a text file and reading that), but that's very inelegant and hacky.
Thanks in advance!

Could you clarify what you're looking for?
Because if you mean accessing the DesktopX api then I don't think this should be openly accessible via the command line for obvious reasons. If you mean to pass arguments than someone posted a work-a-round using WSH somewhere in the forums.

you could try making batch files for those command line parameters, and that should suffice, just make it a text file, oh yeah when you are done you have to save the file with an extension of ".BAT" put the commands in the order you want to run them, you may want to look at some old dos help. because you can put each command into one file and using the "IF ERRORLEVEL" command you can you use the one batch file for each command... what do you think, does it sound plausible?
