Aqua-Soft Forums[release] Adressbook Dashboard Widget
Great widget..anyway you can get the window to close and still leave the widget on your desktop so it takes up less room?
Great widget man! THX!
OH YEAH !!!!! 
Thank you so much man
Hey, Is there a way to get rid of the icon on the start bar but keep
it running? 
Thanks again. Also, how do you get the shadow around it ?
Hi Okeh,
this is a real good work, especially in VB.
There's room for improvement:
- Since you seem to use your own database, have a look at Edanmo's page.
That'll show you a way to add dropped outlook contacts to your address list.
He also has some other helpers that may help you improve it even further.
- Adding dropped vcards should be no problem, too.
- With the help of the Microsoft MAPI control, you could also add a
"send message to" button, that will automagically open Outlook, Outlook
Express or any other registered MAPI application.
Unfortunately the Windows Address Book (WAB.exe) can't be automated
with VB in a non-visual way, since the first entry point WabOpen() or WabOpenEx()
needs to be loaded with C/C++ LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress();
I guess there's a nonvisual MAPI control somewhere on the net that would help.
Keep up the good work,
herd

By the moment, maybe a Brushed version...
cool :rule:
Two things I would love to see added to this - email address's and the ability to click the email address to pull up a new email with the recipients address.
Possible?
Now, for the unattainable! Groups... I'd like to be able to group address cards together. Say I have Larry, Curly and Moe on seperate cards with seperate address's...I'd like to group them, then be able to click the group button/ marker and send an email addressed to all three.
Possible? Desirable?

The interface of the address book widget was not designed for advanced functionality. It's meant to work as a card finder and then links you to the good old address book app.
Squeezing many features in this widget wouldn't look good at the end, i think.
How about the new email thing for one person then?!
