• stellag What's apiVersion for?

  In gadget.xml: <base type="HTML" apiVersion="1.0.0" src="MyGadget.html" /> I'm curious, so: Except HTML, is there any other base type em...XAML Which is the right apiVersion we should use I'v seen 1.0.0, 1.1.0 and 0.0.3 in some gadgets code. BTW, on MSDN, the syntax of settingsUI is: Syntax [ strGetSettingsUI = ] System.Gadget.Settings . settingsUI ( strInitSettingsUI ) But it seems not work, System.Gadget.settingsUI works. Is that related to early version or future version The API version is to help us detect gadgets that may be incompatible in the future. If you're using Vista's RTM version, use "1.0", or "1.0.0".

• KAAU updating a text field in a sidebar gadget

  I've written an app that is retrieving an integer value every second and writing it to an ASCII text file. I'd like my gadget to retrieve this value on a 10-second interval and write it to the gadget window. What's the correct syntax for the script that would retrieve the text (assuming it resides in "c:\temp\data.txt") Thanks! var sFile = "c:\\temp\\data.txt"; var iTimerID = window.setInterval(readFile, 10000); ... // Read the first line from a text file function readFile() { var sLine = ""; try{ var fTmp = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sFile, 1); sLine = fTmp.ReadLine(); fTmp.Close(); } catch(err) {System.Debug.outputString("readFile error: " ...Show All

• Jagjot Singh Multiple Sub Audio Tracks

  How can I change between different sub audio tracks I have 3 sub audio tracks with different audiocommentaries where I want to switch. In the spec I didn't find any possibility to choose the sub audio track where the mixing is done. The only thing I found is Player.audio.sub.setMixing(). But I can't figure out how to tell the player which track it should use. That's it!! Thanks a lot! When the player changes tracks, it uses the TrackNavigationList in the playlist. According to 6.2.3.21 in the spec, you can't put subAudio in the TrackNavigationList. And, since there is no API to switch subAudio, I don't think its possible to switch between subAudio tracks.

• Samyag1 OT: Suggestions about gallery.live.com

  Several things stand out about this site, now that people are starting to use it. So, here's some suggestions: Implement some sort of language filtering. Although I have nothing against the use of non-English and think it's actually commendable than MS allowing it, I would rather filter out Gadgets that are of no use to me. Alternatively allow multiple languages in the Gadget description, or some form of language translation. Improve Gadget images. It would be great if you could attach screenshots, as well as the 100x100 icon. Do something about Gadget spam. "Vamos Strip Player" springs to mind, I'd hate to think how many times it's posted. Remove the 1000 character limit on the description field, and allow it to be rich text ...Show All

Was wondering where to find a third party multiplexing tools once the programming is done Thanks - I'm sure this is the first of many posts here!

• erick_the_redd Attaching a ActiveX event to javascript

  Hi I created some nice ActiveX component and now I would like to use events. To test my current implementation, I tried to sink the event in VB6, which worked perfectly. This was the code I used in VB6: Private WithEvents Test1 As GeizhalsForumWatcher.GeizhalsForumWatcher Private Sub Form_Load() Set Test1 = New GeizhalsForumWatcher.GeizhalsForumWatcher Test1.SetCredentials "4066", "nvhf76jh" Test1.Start End Sub Private Sub Test1_OnGeizhalsForumDataChanged() MsgBox ("sdafsd") End Sub The messagebox fired just as expected. Now I would like to get this behaviour into my Javscript part. If the event fires, I'd like to call some method. My main problem now is that if I use: .... forumWatcher = n ...Show All

• Stankerific Animating from script

  I've been performing all my animations from the markup, but have a case where I'd like to do it in the script. Is that allowed and what is the syntax I've been combing through the spec and cannot find a reference. Thanks. Thanks! Ok so I tried the syntax below but the sim throws an error (for this line) "Object doesn't support this property or method". document.FOO.animateProperty("style:y","400px;0px","1"); The descriptions in that section are not entirely clear because the names of the properties are derived from markup. Basically you want: document.foo.style.animateProperty("x", "400px;0px", 1); where style is the namespace, x is the property, ...Show All
