Y'z Dock Sdk 2.0 Released

As promised

Y'z Dock has supported Docklets as plug-ins from version 0.5 beta. Although the specifics of Docklets do have some restrictions and are also restricted in what they can do, Docklets will now have infinite possibilities by your many ideas and hopefully with little effort.

Note: SDK is for Y'z Dock 0.8.0 and higher

People should post what Docklets they want, so some of the fine programmers here have some ideas.

an iCal docklet. I know theres the .bat file way, but integrating it into the dock would probobly be much better.

@Kaosad: why call it 2.0 when this is the first release. I know its probobly what came up w/ betas and all, but it confuses the hell out of people like me.

#29027

Maybe because it's not the first version of the SDK :rolleyes: Maybe because it takes more than one version to get an SDK ready and that's how we keep track of it. I don't think the version number should even matter, next time I'll make sure it's v25.0.5.6.44 just to confuse you more :6

#29035

is it possible to make a weather docklet?

#29043

I realize its not the first version, but do they call WindowsXP version 5.1.2600 publically?

Im just saying, MANY things disorient me, and this is one of them. :baby:

right, I would also like a Mail docklet, like the Mobydock option to check the mail and show the number of new mails.

#29141

yea a mail docklett is a must

#29147

I vote for calendar and mail docklets too!

#29151

Ahhh !! a SDK ! i've been waiting this for soooo long

looks like it's possible to make a "taskbar" docklet (with YzDockletCreate() it seems)

am I wrong ?

I will look at it, since a taskbar function is the only thing that don't make me use y'z dock

in the mean time, THANK YOU !

#29251

Okay, it's not possible to create a shortcut using YzDockletCreate()

could you implement a function that can create another docklet with the same events ?

thx

PS:

will turn to pop3 notification instead

great toy anyway thx

#29275

Siwu have you seen my idea for the tasks? If possible I think it should be made like that.

edit: whooops, nevermind

[edit]First of all I must say that I don't know anything about C++, although I'm an experienced Java programmer. [/edit]

In my opinion (not sure at all) it's not possible to create a taskbar docklet since a docklet affects to an item from the dock (not several items). As shown in the ASCII diagram at the SDK reference file, the dock throws an event to the docklet, and it response to the dock via the YzDocklet-DLL.

I think that is needed an extra communication to the windows taskbar so it can read the active tasks (that should be made from the dock module as it will affect to several items of the dock, not sure).

What's the opinion of our experienced C++ developers?

#29357

Actually, to create a taskbar function, the only that is needed is the ability to create and delete items.

Let's say we create a group of items, each one has an ID and for example, we can create a chained list of all the opened apps and their item ID associated.

so on the OnLeftButtonClick() event, we just have to look at the ID of the item which received the click, and we can do what we want

also a ChangeItemIcon(int idItem) function would be really great

the rest is up to the programmer

Seems like you are tying to make a sort of iCal?. I was trying to compile the examples with a freeware compiler... May be later I got some news...

#29486

Weather Docklet

E-Mail notification docklet

A multi screen capture/copy app/docklet

A multi-Ys-dock switcher

#29491

I think a MSN or ICQ docklet is great~~

it can change the icon depend on your status (onlin¡Baway.....etc.)~~
