Locking Objects ?

September 15, 2005 9:54:52 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I have stuff set up the way I want it, but sometimes I accidentally click and move my objects around. At one point I mesed something up so that when you minimise a program, the icon that should be on the tray on the bottom is lost. Is there any way to lock the current objects so you cant drag them around by accident?

Thanks, Jeremy

I'd bet you could script in a locking feature for widgets, but I've never tried. Perhaps have PosX and PosY stored, and Sub Object.OnLButtonUp(x,y,drag). If drag = True, then restore position Object.Right = PosX, Object.Top = PosY. of course that would really lock it. You'd need to add some method of moving it (changing PosX & PosY) and that'd add a couple other checks, but I think it's doable.

Not very convenient or elegant, though, and would only work on widgets which included it (assuming it'd work).

i'm thinking maybe you can import the widget, set where you want, lock it, then export it back widget.
