Rick1138 Posting forms to websites.
hi, I'm making a booking gadget and need to post a form to an external website is this possible I am having the same issue and a query parameter approach will not work as the POST data is sensitive (being sent over HTTPS). If anyone has any ideas or even an explanation as to why this doesn't behave in a gadget the way it would in an IE environment that would be much appreciated. I am sure someone on the MSFT would have some input or knowledge as to it's behaviour. Thanks. Ryan Yepp, it's for real .. but I still consider it a hack. A standard POST should work. Anyway, my login gadget works, using https and post, so I'm happy for now. *bump* C ...Show All
AshiTenshi HDi for authored HD-DVD
Assuming that it makes an Advanced Content disc and not a Standard Content disc (ie, there is an ADV_OBJ folder with a playlist already in it) then yes, you can add your own stuff to the disc. Just create your HDi menus and add the appropriate information to the playlist file (VPLST000.XPL) Note that you just won't be able to multiplex the menus into the EVOB (eg, have a FirstPlayTitle that pre-loads the menu) so make sure all your resources have multiplexed="false" in the playlist. On the other hand, if it is just creating a Standard Content disc, then you can't do anything with it. There is no way to switch from Standard to Advanced even if you are using Scenarist (that feature was removed from the spec because it was e ...Show All

JHarjung Gadget post info to new web form
I've created a gadget which is a simple HTML form with 2 text boxes and a button. When you click the button it should open a new IE window and send the information to the target URL as a post. The problem is when installed as a sidebar, although the IE window is opening with the correct page, the information in the 2 textboxes does not seem to be transferred. I have tested the simple HTML form by opening it in IE and all functionlity works fine, but not when I install it as a sidebar. Is there something obvious that I am missing Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Could you post your HTML so I can try it locally From experiences with my other Gadgets, yo ...Show All
user11 using webservices in a gadget
Hi, Has anyone have an example of using a web service in a gadget Thanks in advance, rudgr Yeah, you would write them using System.Gadget.Settings.write(); Just remember that these settings are cleared if the Gadget is removed from the desktop/sidebar. If you want to create persistent settings across all instances of your gadget you could read from/write to the registry. Andy Hi Andy, In relation to your post: Suppose I want to store a username & password (that are needed as parameters in the webservice), what would be a secure way to save these so the user doesn't have to enter them each time Are the gadget settings meant for this System.Gadget.Settings.write("variableName", ...Show All

Gidon Sela Developing in a directory
Hello, I read that you can develop a gadget from a xxx.gadget directory instead of rezipping on every change. How does this work I can't get the directory recognized as anything but a directory. Thanks, Ty Perfect. That is what I was looking. Point also taken on the risk of that directory. Thanks, Ty I find it a bit scary to develop directly in the "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\" folder. An inadvertent right-click on the gadget in the gallery and selecting Uninstall will wipe out all of your source code. I develop in the "Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\<ProjectName>" folder and have a m ...Show All

renyx mouseover event when using addImageObject
Is there any way to set a mouseover event for a g:image, if it is added using backgroundId.addImageObject Unfortunately not, <g:background> doesn't support events. <g:image> does support events, but it will only be of use if you don't have a transparent background. Sorry, I have proposed this solution previously, there's even some source code on here somewhere. You need to ensure that the region below the clickable area is partially opaque though, ~90% or less off the top of my head. If it's completely transparent the mouse events don't fire. Well I have made a workaround by using a completely transparent .png that overlays ...Show All
