I got the same error...
Good work either way...
Hope to see it fixed up a bit soon...

Guess this is related to the export config function, cause I get the same error when selecting that from the menu... (I know readme says it needs to be finished, just giving some tesing results)

I was about to get this but I saw it was 13+MB. That seems a bit overkill for a config file creator. Seeing how I'm on dialup I opted not to get it yet.

If someone would be sound kind as to post a temparary screenshot of it...

Yeah.. I was going to request a slimed down version for those that already have VB6 installed... also it seems to update the DATA ACCESS components... MDAC... could you have 2 versions, 1 with these and 1 without... I'm guessing it would be less then 2 megs without these in the install...


EDIT: Also, it doesn't (probably a known problem), but when creating the XML it doesn't close some of the tags properly...

For example... just going in and doing a new, creates the following code.. you will see the errors...

The upper/lowercase corrections are needed to make the output file compatible with internet explorer/proper xml handling...

It's nice to be able to open it up in IE to verify that you have a good file...

Hey scorpianuk,

Just wondering if you are currently a beta tester for UnleashX...

To me, it would make sense that you and Hectobleezy (skinner app)
would be beta testers, so you can have the most current release info
and be incorporating it into your awesome apps...

Perhaps, something you and Hectobleezy could console with UnleashX
about...

Just thinking out loud...

beerchug.gif

It would be nice to have access to the newest builds to test them with my app. UnleashX did send a beta to me, but we never discussed any ongoing access.

I used to be a good vb6 coder, but Ive since moved to vb.net. If scorpianuk ever upgrades UnleashX Tool + to vb.net, I can help...I got some AWESOME ideas.

.NET is sooo sloooooow. Seems like it takes forever for programs to start. Runtime is also terrible. I noticed in UXA when you drag elements, you can see the background redrawing. I use a 1.2GHz pentium so it's not the newest computer, but still it shouldn't happen for this kind of applications
Sure VB.NET is sexier, but in my opinion doesn't worth the performance penalty.

It is a little annoying that you can't move the window of the application.
I also noticed that each settings page is opened in its own window on top of the application window. The preferences, Menu, Source Code and FTP pages can be moved if you drag their title bar.
It doesn't interfere with the functionality, but it is a little awkward...

Hey Scopianuk,

- could you include the password attribute for the item elements in the action command tab.

- not sure if its a bug or me fuckin up, but when i select the password option in the menu selection tab it does not allow me to enter a pasword. after adding the item, when you edit it the password "no" radio button is selected.

this is on version 2.3.1

It would be nice to have access to the newest builds to test them with my app. UnleashX did send a beta to me, but we never discussed any ongoing access.

I used to be a good vb6 coder, but Ive since moved to vb.net. If scorpianuk ever upgrades UnleashX Tool + to vb.net, I can help...I got some AWESOME ideas.

this feature is being built into the site so select members can login and download beta builds for testing purposes.

scorp, very nice app indeedy. app writers for UX will have write access to thier own directories on the site so that when they release a new version, they may upload it at thier discretion instead of submitting it to a "webmaster" and twiddling thier thumbs in anticipation.

if you build it,....they will come...

I tried to download this program, but sadly it just keeps saying it's not there!

As the moment of this post anyways!
