Need some help...

February 1, 2003 12:49:25 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I am trying to get a desktopx object that will display a websites backend newsfeed. The newsfeed is an xml feed. I tried using the xml webobject that installs with desktopx and simply reconfiguring it to read the newsfeed I wanted but it did not work. Can anyone point me to or help me with getting this configured?

The only way that I know of with DesktopX is to have a a DesktopX object that uses Internet Explorer's WebBrower Control ActiveX object. Then have the web page point to an XSL file that performs an XSL translation on the XML file to display it as an attractive web page embedded on the desktop.

What I am really wanting to do is extract the headlines from the backend and display them in the object. Reason for all this is I am creating a custom theme to match the website and really wanted to be able to feed the latest headlines into the object. I'll figure it out sooner or later....
