* Ability to do drag and drop into other applications. for instance draging an object into notpad and it'd create som text in notepad. or dragging an object into a browser to launch a website.

And how about a line object, do yo have it in plans? It would be very usefull. Im now working on graph calculator object, and the line is made of lots of one pixel objects but when the function is growing very fast the space betwen each pixel is too big, and it doesnt look too good.

yes, ablility do draw basic shapes would be nice.

That could be a nice scriptable drawing plugin. Something that let you do:

Draw.SetPixel(x, y, color)
Draw.SetPixel(x, y, color)
...
Draw.Update

I would love it if the email checkers could check accounts that require a secure connection (SSL) like Gmail. Perhaps they can, I just never have been able to make one do it.

I only ask that Desktopx 3 be backward compatable ONLY down to DX2. The widgets written in DX2 should work (unless they use some plugin that isn't in DX anymore. if that is the case, the object should not explode or there should be a way for the end user to update it... man am I having trouble updating Treetogs Plaza DX from version 1 LOL)

Yes, please!! It's boring looking up in help file on what events is supported AND I gonna copy and paste it in script. That's one of major pet peeves of mine. Just a window that has ready to go events would help very much. For example, I could just click somewhere I want code to be added, then press "mouse_enter" or something and entire sub code appears, ready for code for mouse_enter to be added.




I like that too...

A simple 'right click' to hide or show IconX icons would be lovely, thanks.

I know it is litle late but... LABEL WRAPING! Text object wraping is cool and very helpful (I just checked it on 2.99 beta) but sometimes labels are also used so they shoul have the same ability. Also the label isnt moving with the object if it is moved by script.

1) Transparent listbox.
2) Ability to choose the font, size, timing and colors for popups.
3) Info aboput your program when building. memory use, number of variables.
4) More advanced list objects. You should be able to apply filters on the list.
5) Memory handle bug should be fixed. (If you keep applying an object, the number of handles being used increases)
6) More javascript examples.
7) Custom controls listbox, textbox etc where you can chooses the images used for scrollbars etc.
8) Label position, color, font can be changed.

That would be very neat plugin! Any chance of seeing such a plugin?
