- When will DesktopX support the System tray object on Vista?
I know this is an open ended question and I'll get the standard response from the regulars (i.e. - "when it's ready"). System tray support in Object Dock has worked perfectly for me, but I would be nice if I could use only DX for desktop replacement. Right now, it's not possible because there is no system tray support.
- Also - I don't think this has been discussed much, but I believe there is a 'timer' problem with Vista also.

The following script won't work on any of my Vista systems, but will on my XP system. Setting the Object.text = curTime returns what appears to be random one digit numbers as displayed on the object when the script is executed. When the object is deleted, it crashes DX every time and requires restart. The only way I can get Object.text to update and display the proper value is to have the Object_Ontimer subroutine call another subroutine with the Object.text =curTime in it. I've tried a bunch of different varients, not using curTime, using others instead, and event tried updating Object.text with not time or date related values, with the same result - random one digits.
'Called when the script is executed
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
'Set 1-second timer
object.SetTimer 1,1000
End Sub
Sub Object_Ontimer1
Object.text = Time
End Sub
Sub Object_OnTimer1
curTime = FormatDateTime(Now(),0)
Object.text = curTime
End Sub
- When will DX autostart on Vista without having to 'trick' it by putting a startup entry in the startup folder?
I know DX 3.5 was just released, but I've been using this version for months! How is this a new release?
