[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="6" id="2511721"]Gadgets are damn near impossible to do anything with. The best solution is the above suggestion. Sorry.[/quote] there is a reason for that.. its called "intellectual property", some of us "Gadget" makers would like to be able to TRY and make some $ back from all the hundreds (if not thousands) of hours spent on some of these gadgets. And having it so that someone could simply go to "Builder mode" and do what they want w

[quote]How about just asking MikeB directly, the maker of the gadgets ? Perhaps You can even work together and fix it ? He really is a nice guy.[/quote] I agree, if someone comes to me telling me something is broken, normally i will do my best to fix it, unless its a dead product, and if so, i might even give someone else the code to do it themselves.

Jsut add [code="vbscript"] ' add this to the timer, or loop your using to check to see if the process is running Call GetMemSize("Firefox") ' Then in the function (if you want to swap STATES - much better idea than pictures) Function GetMemSize(Procs) Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\CIMV2") sql = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Process where Caption Like '%" & Procs & "%'"<br

WMI is what is used to check on the memory usage or anything else about a running process. procs = name of process to check for [code="vbscript"] Function GetMemSize(Procs) strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2") sql = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Process where Caption Like '%" & Procs & "%'" Set colItems = objWM

Cool Zu, never heard of that. I think that would be a totally different project then DX is now, and would require some MAJOR work on SD's part.. but it could move it into a whole new way or working. If there was a "beginner" and "advanced" interface, that might be really cool. The Beginner one would have code "Blocks" to move around ie: READ FILE, and you click it and it asks for hte file name, or var. I love the idea of these kinds of code "blocks".

Brad, I would love to see a list of goals for 4.0 and what would be on SD's plate vs whats on ours. It would help everyone focus on the positive side of things, like where you see DX going, or not going. Also, What we should be testing, at each release, so we are not bringing up things that are not yet implemented. Are we to start on the current beta or wait? If you are looking for ideas on what "we" the community are after there a

I would hate to see DX die, it is the only think out there like it. I would love to see DX used in schools to teach students programming, can you imagine the influx of gadgets? But im also a realist, i know that the market isnt there like it was years ago, and i know that Win7 has added a lot of problems for DX. If there were easier ways to make some more complex thing, i think DX could sell a lot more, but again, who knows.

I think the overall theme of this thread is the overwelming desire to have a great DX 4.0 something that people could use to make some really great things. And yes as always there is a lot of bitching, but thats normal. I think the concern is 2 fold, first is the quality of the beta (something i have not used as i need to work on some things still in 3.5), and secondly and i think the main thing is the lack of imput from SD. We all have the desire to see DX 4
