Recycle bin icon image

You can only have one mouse over state. Unless maybe it can be scripted otherwise.

I'll point sviz to this thread for you.

Easiest way I know is to include the four images (fullover, fullaway, emptyover, emptyaway) in Properties > Summary > Custom Files, set the full and empty states to their respective 'away' images (remove any other states.) Then add this script:

Thanks Eve! 

RedneckDude - Thanx for pointing sViz to this.

sViz - I'll try this when I get home. I thought it would be a scripted issue.

sViz - when I open custom files it sats they should be saved into "object data dir" .

I can not find this .

Also do I copy what you have writtern onto notepad and save it then put this into the object data dir . Then click add .

Do I have to put the numbers in and I take it that instead of "binemptyover.jpg" I would put "recyclebinEover.bmp" as that is what mine is.

Thanx

I found your DX script helper .

I got the script into it but do not know how to apply it to the icon.

When I click on add (in custom files) i get DX script helper.exe.

How do you tell it what script to look for. 

When you include a file, it is copied to the object data directory. This is found in the Current Theme folder. But once it's saved there, you can refer to it in script as shown above (after applying, you should also find it in the dropdown for images in States > Appearance.) Yes, you'll need to put the name of your images, instead.

Blech, I forgot the vbscript code thingy on this forum includes numbers (someone should fix that.) Here it is again. Go to Properties > General > Script > New, and copy and paste the code in DX Script Editor window:

'Called on mouse over object
Sub Object_OnMouseEnter
 If object.state = "Full" Then
  object.Picture = "binfullover.jpg"
 ElseIf object.state = "Empty" Then
  object.Picture = "binemptyover.jpg"
 End If
End Sub

'Called when mouse leaves object
Sub Object_OnMouseLeave
 If object.state = "Full" Then
  object.Picture = "binfullaway.jpg"
 ElseIf object.state = "Empty" Then
  object.Picture = "binemptyaway.jpg"
 End If
End Sub

The DX Script Helper only stores codes for easy copy and pasting. By clicking on the code title, it copies the code to the system clipboard, so you can paste it wherever. (See the skin's instructions/description.)

You betcha!!!

Went to Properties > General > Script > Edit (there is no New) and deleted what was there,
then copy and paste the code in DX Script Editor window. then applied
Now the bin dissappears when i mouseover.
I also tried using the option External script but same effect
This is what I copied

'Called on mouse over object
Sub Object_OnMouseEnter
 If object.state = "Full" Then
  object.Picture = "recyclebinFover.bmp"
 ElseIf object.state = "Empty" Then
  object.Picture = "recyclebinEover.bmp"
 End If
End Sub
'Called when mouse leaves object
Sub Object_OnMouseLeave
 If object.state = "Full" Then
  object.Picture = "recyclebinF.bmp"
 ElseIf object.state = "Empty" Then
  object.Picture = "recyclebinE.bmp"
 End If
End Sub

You included all four images, yes? And there are no other states but Full and Empty? If so, feel free to email me the object so i can have a look at it (check your PMs.)

sViz - Got your email this morning and as soon as I read it I understood where I went wrong.

Just looking back at your reply #2 -  don't know how I did not manage to follow those instructions.

I will check out what you did when I get home from work.

Thanx

Paul
