sandman Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 But in essence this really isn't a shell, is it? It's a window that launches AutoIt scripts... it would be cool if you could set a desktop background image, that would be pretty easy, wouldn't it?

Gif Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Haha. Ashley, AutoIt cannot make an OS, and there would be no way anyone would buy it. AutoIt cannot multithread easily so it wouldnt be worth it.If you want to make an OS/shell look into ASM/C++/C even Delphi if you know what your doing.Have fun!-JamesOnly assembly can do it.... Look for NASM or TASM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i542 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 i542, I found this control once before, if I could only remember. It was just a basic one found when using Koda if I remmeber correctly.I found only Preview control...You shouldn't cheat off others code i542 And I didn't use a control I do not cheat! It would be nice if you post source, I always give source with my programs so other can steal from me. And if you didnt use control... A booting Kernel Would be nice too Well you try to make it!

JustinReno Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) Things that are NOT bugs:1. The big red X@Sandman: Above, I said that the backround image functions caused alot of bugs, which is why I put the desktop color on.Same here also when i locked it i put password as 5 and then unlocked with the correct password it said correct, but then the lock window was still there i could not locse anyof them i had to do it through task managerIt works fine here, what OS are you using?And I did use a control for the File Browser, IE and navigated to the desktopdir.And I'll put up the source sense you guys asked nicely!

JustinReno Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Ok, now I just need to put the EXE back online, The source is released! And never mind, Ashley: It doesn't work ith numbers! It works fine with words! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alien13 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 This is pretty cool. Having the programs open inside of the main window would be pretty good.. Here is an example of how it would look.. It isn't perfect, only took 5 seconds to quickly edit it to work. You don't have to use it as it is only a suggestion. alien13New_AutoIt_v3_Script.au3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinReno Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 I reupdated MicroOS with a new a bunch of new features. Alien13, I didn't see anything change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) I reupdated MicroOS with a new a bunch of new features. Alien13, I didn't see anything change.There is still a bug with the registry. If you click Startupsound --> Cancel nothing works. That makes it impossible to exit your script because the Start button doesn't work. Which means I had to use the Process manager to kill it. Good changes though.EDIT: Also, in the registry, I didn't change anything and it still said I needed to restart. Concerning restart, why not actually make it restart not just shutdown. Look for Valuater's stuff... he has a collected bunch of functions from people and restart is in there.EDIT2: With lock, cancel still doesn't work.

JustinReno Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 The registry asking you to restart when nothing changed isn't really a bug, its not a big problem, and I'll fix the bugs you pointed out. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinReno Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Ok, Most of the bugs were fixed, I need to fix the lock cancel button soon. Added a formal start menu, fixed most of the cancel button bugs. Thanks for all your replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all your replies!Just noticed: Your clock stops whenever something else is happening, even something as simple as clicking a menu. I would suggest using AdLibEnable()... and if your not using GuiOnEvent() mode then you should do that too, it leaves the main loop open for other things.

i542 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 And I did use a control for the File Browser, IE and navigated to the desktopdir.I think it would be better if you add the "Address" bar and that you start on desktop! And... GuiCtrlCreateMenuItem("About",-1) This piece of code makes that, when you click on About on menu bar, you see About window without going to About -> About i542, yes, I gave you the link.OH, thank you, I now remember!

Gif Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 (edited) i542, yes, I gave you the link.Gif, ASM isnt the only thing to make an OS.James can you please (or anyone else) solve me a big question? How are programming language written??I know that ASM is not the only way to write a REAL OS, however i doubt that you can write one in C (or any C language).. I think pascal is able to do so.Anyway assembler languages are undoubtely the best. Edited October 15, 2007 by Gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinReno Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 No, and It probably won't be in a couple of days, I just made another big update, its not ready for release yet but it has: 1. Desktop Image with no bugs 2. New App: Calculator 3. Starts Full Screen 4. Removed the Start from the menu bar and gave it its own little button in the bottem left corner. 5. Put some main applications icons on the desktop (Internet, Music Player, Notepad) Thanks again for all your replies! Any more feedback is appreciated!

dandymcgee Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Wow this is really cool. Hmm did you not update the download link yet? You say you have a new update with desktop background image and start in full screen... yet i just downloaded it and it doesn't start full screen nor does it have an image? - Dan [Website] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
