The fatal bug in DesktopX 3.5 056

When it will be finally finished?

April 7, 2008 5:40:35 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Today I have installed DesktopX 3.5 056 through Impulse. Alas the Script Editor has ceased to work. Now it doesn't load any scripts (not only from my old projects but from Tutorial DX Objects too) and I'm very sad and disappointed again...

I've reproduced it. Sigh.

You know, what do you guys think of us getting out of this whole "software" thing and get into something more cutting edge like...

Name 2 things you can do with DesktopX that you can't do with a good bee hive.

1. Not get stung

2. Not get all sticky with honey

[If they are wrong then I'd suggest people re-evaluate what they are actually DOING with DesktopX]....

Glad I didn't check Central today. Things could be worse. You could work for a Newspaper!

An interim fix: please replace DAxHost.dll in Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\DesktopX\SDPlugins with the version in this file. Do this before launching DesktopX after update.

Thank you very much!!!!! The Script Editor is working.   
Now I'll begin the full test of DX (import, edit, export, etc...). Hope it was the last bug and I'll can finally finish all of my widgets/gadgets for Vista.

Hmmmm... Unfortunately the Windows Media Player ActiveX control (version 11.0.6001.7000) is not working as before. Any of events like Control_MouseDown, Control_Playlist, Control_CurrentItemChange etc... are not supported.        

Is there any chances to fix this problem or I need to make my own ActiveX control for Vista Media Player (nearly half of year I can't play my music library with DX.)?

Was this a problem in previous recent builds of DesktopX or was it affected specifically by this version?

Can you point me to or email me (greenreaper _at_ stardock dot com) a sample that worked previously, but now does not?

I already informed on this problem. Please look here: WWW Link

I found this problem long ago. The last version of Windows Media Player that was supported in DesktopX is 11.0.5721.5230. Any of newest versions from 11.0.6000.6344 are not working.

You may try to run this gadget: WWW Link. You will see that the only of functions controlled by timer are working. Any of other like Play, Stop, Media items counter etc... controlled by DX events are not working.

You may see these events in the Script Editor and write the code. But this code is not working...

I was not aware of this problem (when you reported that I was assigned to TweakVista). I will investigate it.

From what I could see immediately, it appears to be reproducible with a simple test case, but the solution may not be simple - the event is not directly called by DesktopX, but by the script runtime. A fix for this is not likely today.

Thank you for your answer!

I understand that this is a complicated problem. And I'm always ready to help you work on it in any ways.

But I have no time to wait until it will be fixed. So I'll begin to make my own WMP Control by using timers. Hope that it will not take a lot of PC resources like CPU and Memory...

Just to bump this along. Have done the quick recent updates and am now on version 3.50.059 and have tried the DLL fix.
Most of my widgets will not run.
My favourite widget is SD_Clock_3.01 and that is stuck at the time I updated yesterday. Have also found that most widgets no longer run.
Does anybody have any ideas as I tried going back to an earlier version with no success?

suki750 what I did was make sure no widgets or objects were running, uninstalled DesktopX, rebooted, reinstalled and ran the fix in reply #9 before starting any up DesktopX and it cleared the problem.

If you still have problems you might go clear the widget and object cache for those that are giving you a problem. That seemed to help someone else.

Don't use Impulse to update DesktopX (I tried two times and has the same problems. Moreover it doesn't install the pro version...). Do this through Stardock Central.

I have already installed version 3.50.016. It works perfect.

What is it "XP"?  This is one of ancient Operating Systems that has been forgotten long ago?  (little joke)

But if seriously have you already tried to use this version of DX on XP?

Here at Stardock we are all looking forward to Windows Codename XP, which promises better performance than the current version of Windows, as well as lower system requirements and greater compatibility with existing applications.
